Emotion Chip
RareDefect
If you lost HP during the previous turn, trigger the passive ability of all Orbs at the start of your turn.
At the start of your turn, Emotion Chip checks the combat log for a hit since your previous turn that was not fully blocked. If there was one, it triggers the passive of every orb you have, left to right. HP you paid yourself counts. The relic lights up when a qualifying hit lands. It is a Defect Rare, unlocked by Laser Beams.
When to take Emotion Chip
Take it for orb-heavy decks that can absorb some chip damage. It never fires in a deck that blocks everything, so only take it there if the orbs pay back more than the HP.
