How Many Orb Slots Can the Defect Have?

Orbs are an essential part of the Defect’s kit in Slay the Spire. These orbs are powerful passive abilities that can help you deal damage, gain block, or generate energy every turn. As you progress through the game, you’ll have the opportunity to add more and more orbs to your deck, but just how many orb slots can the Defect have

Starting Orb Slots

When you first start playing as the Defect, you’ll have two orb slots available. These slots are located at the bottom of your character’s card on the left-hand side.

These two starting slots allow you to begin building your strategy around using orbs in battle. You can use these slots to hold any combination of Frost, Lightning, or Plasma orbs that you acquire throughout your run.

Additional Orb Slots

If you’re lucky enough to come across certain relics or cards during your run, then you might be able to add more orb slots to your deck.

• Nuclear Battery: This relic will give you an additional orb slot when it’s first picked up.
• Bottled Lightning: This relic will give you an additional Lightning orb slot when it’s first picked up.
• Bottled Flame: This relic will give you an additional Fire orb slot when it’s first picked up.
• Bottled Tornado: This relic will give you an additional Wind orb slot when it’s first picked up.
• Fusion: This card will permanently add one orb slot to your deck when played.

With these additional slots, you can focus on building a more complex orb-based strategy or simply have more orbs to work with in general.

Maximum Orb Slots

The maximum number of orb slots that you can have as the Defect is capped at 10.

This means that you can have a total of 10 orb slots between your starting slots and any additional slots you acquire through relics or cards. Once you hit this cap, you won’t be able to add any more orb slots to your deck.

Conclusion

While the Defect’s starting two orb slots might not seem like much, there are several opportunities throughout the game to add more and increase your options in battle. With a maximum of 10 slots available, you can create some truly devastating strategies based around the power of orbs.

So go forth and experiment with different builds, and see just how many orbs you can fit into your deck!
