Capacitor
Defect · A-tier · Power · UncommonMore Orb slots means more passive value every turn — foundational for any multi-Orb scaling deck.

Defect Focus Orbs
Defect · Focus OrbsScale Focus and orb slots so Lightning, Frost, and Dark orbs solve the fight passively.
Echo Form
Defect · S-tier · Power · RareDoubling your best card every turn is game-winning scaling; Ethereal means you must play it the turn you draw it.

Loop
Defect · A-tier · Power · UncommonDoubles your best Orb’s passive every turn — the engine behind Frost-wall and Lightning-ping decks.

Defect · B-tier · Attack · RareMassive damage plus three Plasma orbs (extra energy) — a haymaker that pays you back, given the energy to cast it.
Multi-Cast
Defect · A-tier · Skill · RareDumps all energy into repeated Evokes — a burst finisher that pairs with a charged Lightning or Dark orb.
Quadcast
Defect · A-tier · Skill · AncientFour Evokes off one card is a massive burst — pair it with a charged Dark or Lightning orb to delete a target.
Storm
