Defect Focus Orbs

Scale Focus and orb slots so Lightning, Frost, and Dark orbs solve the fight passively.

Game Plan

  1. 1.Take Focus before speculative orb payoffs.
  2. 2.Balance Frost defense with Lightning or Dark damage.
  3. 3.Use Echo Form and Loop to multiply your best passive effects.

Payoff

Focus turns every orb into scaling damage or block, which is ideal for long boss fights.

Boss Plan

Set Focus safely, then let orbs carry. Against burst bosses, prioritize Frost and Buffer before greed.
