Dualcast

DefectSkillBasic
Evoke your rightmost Orb twice.
  • Evoke: it evokes your rightmost Orb, the one that has been in your slots the longest, once without removing it, then evokes it again and removes it.
  • Double: the same Orb pays its Evoke twice, Lightning damages twice, Frost gives Block twice, Dark releases its stored damage twice, Plasma gives Energy twice.
  • Focus: it counts both times.
  • No Orb: it does nothing but the energy is still spent.
  • Upgrade: it makes it cost 0.

When to take Dualcast

Keep it all run in Dark and Frost decks, and upgrade it early since 0 cost is huge for a card you play every fight. Cut it only in Bulk Up or Claw decks that give up on Orbs.
