Forbification
Overview
Forbification is an Orb that generates Ballwark and produces Shield Pegs when it is used. It appears as an offensive/support orb option and interacts with Ballwark-focused builds by supplying Ballwark regularly while creating Shield Pegs that alter board play. Forbification grants 1 Ballwark each time it activates and has the fastest Ballwark addition rate among Orbs, making it especially effective with Balladin to build Muscircle quickly.
Forbification's Shield Pegs can extend the amount of Ballwark gained beyond the base +1 by converting upgraded Shield Pegs into additional Ballwark. Every +4 upgrade on a Shield Peg generated by Forbification provides an extra +1 Ballwark; conversely, downgrading mechanics grant additional Ballwark at a rate of +1 Ballwark per -2 downgrade on those Shield Pegs. Because the orb spawns Shield Pegs, it is often a nuisance if you cannot remove them efficiently; choosing relics or Orbs that break Shield Pegs mitigates the downside.
Practical usage and build notes:
- Pair Forbification with Balladin to capitalize on its rapid Ballwark generation and accelerate Muscircle uptime.
- Boost Forbification's single-Ballwark output with relics such as
Essential Oil or
Mask of Joy to make each activation more valuable.
- Equip
Ballpeen Hammer when available; it is the best complementary relic in this context because it grants the most Ballwark for builds centered on Forbification.
- If you have
Chopping Ballock, design a build that deliberately creates and upgrades Shield Pegs: upgraded Shield Pegs increase both your damage and the additional Ballwark granted by Forbification.
- If Shield Pegs become a liability, take Orbs that can break them easily (for example Infernorb or a Level 2 Worbhammer) to prevent board clutter and control the timing of Ballwark gains.
Forbification functions as a niche enabler: it supplies steady Ballwark and scales with Shield Peg upgrades, so it performs best in builds that either exploit Shield Peg generation or include tools to remove or upgrade those Pegs efficiently.
