Orbelisk

Orbelisk is a collectible orb obtained primarily from a specific in-game event. When acquired, it replaces one slot in the player's satchel and fires a miniature obelisk projectile (the same obelisk depicted in the event). Although classified as an event orb, Orbelisk can rarely appear as a post-battle reward option.

Orbelisk attacks in a column and hits every enemy in that column without requiring a critical hit. Its raw damage scales with level and certain board/combo modifiers. At low levels with only the starting Pebballs converted, Orbelisk's base damage is modest; with the typical starting three Pebballs converted it sits in the low-to-mid tier for raw damage, but can be raised into high-tier damage ranges by active damage multipliers such as a Cruciball 1 effect or by accepting additional Pebballs from the crow event. At level 3, Orbelisk gains an additional behavior: it increases damage based on the number of Orbelisks in the player's inventory. This means that collecting extra Orbelisks (including rare post-battle offers) will further boost already Level 3 Orbelisks.

Because Pebballs convert into Orbelisks of the same level, converting multiple Pebballs before obtaining at least one Level 3 Pebball is suboptimal. Lower-level Orbelisks do not scale with each other the way Level 3 Orbelisks do, so converting all Pebballs early typically lowers average orb damage compared to keeping higher-level Pebballs or waiting to convert after reaching level 3. Conversely, if you already have or can obtain a Level 3 Orbelisk, accepting additional Orbelisks from rewards or the event directly increases the damage of those Level 3 Orbelisks.

Practical points:

• The projectile art and in-game event both depict the same obelisk object that Orbelisk fires.
• Orbelisk attacks an entire column without needing a crit, functioning similarly to Ball Lightning in targeting but differing in crit requirements.
• Seek Level 3 before mass-converting Pebballs: Orbelisks only gain the stacking damage bonus at level 3.
• The crow event (accepting 3 Pebballs) and damage-boosting relics/boards (e.g., Cruciball 1) substantially increase Orbelisk effectiveness.
• Though normally event-exclusive, Orbelisk can rarely appear among post-battle orb rewards; early access and beta histories confirm this rare availability.
• If the player has already collected every relic, event rewards may be replaced by the Consolation Prize instead.
