Defect Focus And Slots Build
This is the plainest and best Defect foundation. More Focus and more slots mean every later channel is worth more without changing how the deck plays.
Opening Plan
Build the first working version
Defragment improves every Orb immediately. Add extra slots only when the deck can fill them without losing the current turn.
Draft Rule
Know when the package is real
Balance Orb generation, Focus, and slots. Too much of any one piece leaves the board empty or the hand slow.
Synergy
How the pieces connect
Defragment raises every Orb passive and evoke value. Capacitor creates room for more Orbs, Loop repeats the rightmost passive, and Buffer protects the setup turn needed to assemble the board.
How To Play It
Turn order that makes the package work
A rough sequence for the deck's key turn. Real runs shuffle the order, but this is how the pieces are meant to chain: set the engine, then spend into the payoff.
- Defragment
Raise the floor: +1 Focus makes every Orb passive and evoke stronger for the rest of the fight.
CapacitorMake room: +2 Orb Slots so the extra Focus has more Orbs to boost.
LoopCompound the best Orb: trigger the rightmost passive an extra time every turn.
BufferProtect the assembly: prevent the next HP loss so the board comes online before you take a hit.
Core Cards
The four cards that define the shell
These are engine markers, not four mandatory picks. The tier label follows the current character board; an unranked card can still be the narrow piece that completes this shell.

Loop
At the start of your turn, trigger the passive ability of your rightmost Orb.

Relics that make the lane stronger
These relics improve the package, but they are not entry tickets. Draft a working deck first and treat the relic as a reason to lean harder into a line that already functions.
