Orphie & Magus Guide and Best Builds

Unlike most Agents who want a stat threshold, Orphie & Magus wants Energy Regen, which cannot come from Disc substats. However, reaching the maximum additional ATK from Core Passive: Taming Wind and Fire's Zeroed In is very easy as long as you follow the Drive Disc guide. You might also be receiving Energy Regen bonuses from Squad Agents or Bangboo, so getting Energy Regen as a W-Engine main stat is not very important.

However, the best W-Engine currently available is none other than Orphie & Magus's Signature W-Engine: Bellicose Blaze. This W-Engine not only provides the most Energy Regen for a W-Engine, but its effect is also heavily tailored for Orphie & Magus's preferred gameplay style.

If you want Energy Regen alternatives, you can also consider either Drill Rig - Red Axis or Housekeeper. They both perform about the same at any investment level, so it just depends on your account. Notably, Drill Rig - Red Axis has +50% Energy Regen, while a W0 Bellicose Blaze can only offer up to +60% Energy Regen. The 0.1 multiplier difference is not that significant, considering Orphie & Magus needs more than just ATK and Energy Regen to perform well.

If you want to invest in other stats instead, Orphie & Magus has several options she can choose from. Her most universal option is Heartstring Nocturne, as it increases both her CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG in equal proportions. In addition, it also increases Fire DMG. Whereas both Severed Innocence and Cordis Germina primarily just focus on one stat alone.

Orphie & Magus's base CRIT Rate, including the +25% bonus from Core Passive: Taming Wind and Fire, means she does not require a lot of additional CRIT Rate. As such, Severed Innocence performs slightly better than Cordis Germina, because Orphie & Magus can activate its W-Engine Effect pretty easily. In addition, Orphie & Magus cannot deal any Electric DMG.

Other -Rank Attack W-Engines are fine for Orphie & Magus, but will generally perform about the same. So if you do not have access to any of the above options, any W-Engine will work for Orphie & Magus.

Orphie & Magus has 1.56 base Energy Regen at Level 60. She needs up to 3.66 Energy Regen to fully maximize on Core Passive: Taming Wind and Fire's Zeroed In ATK bonus. However, even though the number may seem daunting, this is fairly simple to achieve with the Drive Discs we currently have available.

You might also be receiving Energy Regen bonuses from Squad Agents or Bangboo, so maximizing the stat with Drive Discs alone is not required.

Because there are plenty of other Energy Regen bonuses for Orphie & Magus to select from, it is recommended to use a build that offers:

• A 2-Piece Drive Disc set with Energy Regen ( Moonlight Lullaby or Swing Jazz)
• and another 4-Piece Drive Disc set (such as Shadow Harmony, Inferno Metal, or Hormone Punk)

Though this does mean Orphie & Magus will be missing out on an extra +20% Energy Regen, the bonuses from other stats will contribute to a higher damage output in general.

Keep in mind that increasing her Energy Regen for Core Passive: Taming Wind and Fire is only a squad-wide ATK bonus, nothing else. Energy Regen does not impact the Ignore DEF value from Additional Ability: Forged in Flames, nor the increased DMG from Luxurious Cat House.

Of the 4-Piece options suggested, Orphie & Magus is most compatible with Shadow Harmony. This is because most of her kit can deal Fire Aftershock DMG, so gaining Shadow Harmony buff stacks will be easy for her.

If you want to maximize on Core Passive: Taming Wind and Fire's ATK bonus from Zeroed In instead, you will need the following:

• Drive Disc 6 Partition: Energy Regen
• 2-Piece Moonlight Lullaby (+20% Energy Regen)
• 2-Piece Swing Jazz (+20% Energy Regen)
• Equipped W-Engine with 50-60% Energy Regen (Main Stat or W-Engine Effect)

You can substitute the W-Engine with a Bangboo if they have an Energy-related skill. However, the Drive Disc configuration is non-negotiable. Because the 2-Piece Disc effects can stack, you can go for a third 2-Piece Disc set (such as Shadow Harmony, Branch & Blade Song, or Inferno Metal).

Alternatively, you can use the 4-Piece effects from Swing Jazz. Of the two Energy Regen sets, Orphie & Magus can at least enable Swing Jazz's 4-Piece effect. However, this is only recommended if you do not have any Shadow Harmony Drive Discs available.

As Orphie & Magus is primarily an Agent who prioritizes Aftershock DMG, her Mindscape Cinema might seem a little niche at first. However, much of Orphie & Magus's Mindscapes increase her compatibility with all Agents, allowing for more flexible squad compositions.

For example, her Luxurious Cat House provides an overall 20% increased DMG for all Agents affected with Core Passive: Taming Wind and Fire's Zeroed In. Though other Agents may not have Aftershocks to increase buff duration, all of them can certainly benefit from a non-conditional DMG increase!

The other major Mindscape Cinema, beyond her Magic Seed, is Pink Holster. This Mindscape Cinema increases the initial duration of her Core Passive: Taming Wind and Fire's Zeroed In buff. This is an incredible quality-of-life addition, not just for Orphie & Magus, but also other Agents who might not have any Aftershocks in their kits.

As such, most of her Mindscape Cinemas are not an insane game-changer for Orphie & Magus herself. But they provide a lot of squad-wide buffs not really found in most Attack Agents. In addition, with these upgrades, you do not have to worry about her personal damage either. They are all great, but investment is not required to 'fix' her kit.

So if you want to use Orphie & Magus with a wider variety of Agents, investing in her Mindscape Cinema (up to Pink Holster) is recommended.

When the laser from EX Special Attack: Heat Charge or Ultimate hits enemies, it deals additional Fire DMG equal to 250% of Orphie & Magus's ATK. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s and is counted as EX Special Attack and Aftershock DMG.
