Fusion

DefectSkillUncommon
  • Channel: it Channels one Plasma orb and Exhausts.
  • Passive: Plasma gives 1 Energy at the start of each of your turns while it sits in a slot and 2 Energy when Evoked, and it ignores Focus entirely.
  • Channeling: it fills your first empty slot, and if none is empty your leftmost orb is Evoked to make room.
  • Payback: the 1 Energy spent comes back next turn and every turn after, as long as the orb is not pushed out.
  • Upgrade: it removes Exhaust, so it comes back every shuffle.

When to take Fusion

Worth it once you have at least 3 orb slots, since a Plasma Evoked right away is a poor trade. Upgrade it early, since the repeatable Energy engine is the real point.
