Talent Orbs (also just known as Orbs) are a feature implemented in Version 9.7. This feature allows players to improve the base damage or health of certain True Form Cats against one of many enemy traits. Talent Orbs become available after clearing Into the Future Chapter 3.

Overview[]

A Talent Orb is a type of item which can be given to a unit from the Upgrade Menu by going left in the Talents upgrade screen. Each unit can only hold one Talent Orb at a time. Once equipped, a Talent Orb can still be powered up through merging or it can be removed for 10 NP. Talent Orbs exist in different grades and can be obtained from certain Enigma Stages and Gauntlets or by merging lower-grade Talent Orbs with the exact same type, target and grade. Talent Orbs have a section in the Storage alongside Cats and Catfruit, where they can be merged or sold for NP.

Orb Types[]

There are currently 65 different Orbs, each with a Grade, Target and Type.

Grades:

  • S (highest; best effect)
  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D (lowest; minimal effect)

Targets:

Types:

  • Attack Up: Deals more damage to Target.
  • Defense Up: Receives less damage from Target.
  • Strong Against Up: Reduces all damage taken from a trait, as well as increasing the damage multiplier from the "Strong Against" ability.
  • Massive Damage Up: Increases the damage multiplier from the Massive Damage ability.
  • Resistance Up: Reduces all damage taken from a trait. Affects the Resistant ability.

Note: Talent Orbs do not add a target trait to units with anti-trait abilities, but merely increase attack or defense against that target trait. For example: If Roe Cat is given a Defense Up S: Floating Orb, it will be able to resist Floating attacks more than non-Red, though not as much as Red Enemies, but it cannot weaken Floating. However, when Cursed, it'll resist Floating attacks better than Red.

Notes[]

  • Just like Talents, Orbs only take effect for a unit's True Form.
  • Despite being trait-specific, Orbs are not nullified by the Curse effect.
  • Because rarer Orb Enigma Stages are more difficult but only have a marginally better chance to drop high-tier Orbs, a player wishing to farm Orbs may want to keep their Enigma Level low so that they have a better chance at finding the easier stages.
  • When farming for NP, it is more efficient to sell orbs of grade D than to save them for merges. For all other orbs it is most efficient to merge them all the way to S, then sell it if it's attack, and either sell or use it if it's defense.
