Essence of Darkness
RareDefectDrink
Channels one Dark orb per orb slot you own, one after another, so a three-slot Defect gets three Darks at once.- Channeling into full slots Evokes your leftmost orb to make room, so any orbs already out are cashed in first.
- A Dark's Evoke starts at 6 and grows by 6 plus your Focus at the end of every turn, and it hits the enemy with the least HP when Evoked.

When to take Essence of Darkness
Drink it on turn 1 of a boss and let the orbs charge, since each Dark grows every turn and all three together Evoke hard. Stack Focus first, since it boosts every orb.
