Data Disk

Data Disk

CommonDefect
Start each combat with 1 Focus.

Data Disk applies 1 Focus to you the moment you enter a combat room, before turn 1. Focus raises what every orb does, so the Lightning from Cracked Core hits harder on its first tick. It is a Defect Common at 175 gold, unlocked by Hello! Hello!.

When to take Data Disk

Take it early in any Defect run that channels orbs, cheap and permanent, lifting every Lightning hit and Frost shield for the whole fight. Not worth it in a deck that ignores orbs.
