◆ New Weapon: Orbina

ㆍRarity: EX

ㆍType: Staff

ㆍATK Type: Magic ATK

ㆍUnique Effects

① [Blessing of the Earth]

Increases Magic ATK by N% during combat.

When using any skill except Standby, gain the [Blessing of the Architect] effect for NR.

[Blessing of the Architect]: Increases Heat Boost by N%. Stacks up to N times.

② [Prisoner Signature: Harmony of the Architect]

At the start of combat, for N times only, the AP cost of “Summon Lava” is reduced to 0, and its cooldown is reduced by NR.

Reduces the AP cost of “Volcanic Eruption” by N during combat, and increases the DMG of “Forbidden Land” by N%.

If HP is at N%, reduces the AP cost of “Summon Energy” by N%.


▶ Prisoner’s DMG Structure – Issues Identified

Requires Warm-Up: To deal stable damage early in battle, multiple casts of “Summon Lava” are necessary.

Reduced Damage Due to AoE Utility: While Prisoner benefits from the convenience of wide-area attacks, her damage output was comparatively low. Even when meeting max damage conditions, her firepower fell short compared to other units of similar cost.

▶ Signature Weapon “Orbina” – Key Features

Immediate Lava Setup: At the start of combat, “Summon Lava” can be instantly deployed up to its maximum count, removing the need for warm-up.

Enhanced Forbidden Land: Greatly increased damage allows this skill to remain competitive in the current meta.

Early Heat Boost: A powerful Heat Boost effect is granted immediately at the start of combat, ensuring strong firepower from the very beginning.

▶ Expected Results

Prisoner previously struggled due to strict conditions and low efficiency relative to her high cost. With her signature weapon “Orbina,” however:

A stable damage-dealing environment can be established immediately from the start.

She can repeatedly trigger the empowered Forbidden Land while being shielded by allies.

She can finally perform at a level befitting her 8-cost status.
