Orphie & Magus
Orphie & Magus provide high-uptime team buffs through their 'Zeroed In' mechanic and excel at consistent, off-field Aftershock damage. Their kit allows for seamless integration into Fire-element squads, making them a top-tier pull for any account prioritizing damage reliability.
Orphie & Magus utilize a unique 'Bottled Heat' resource system to fuel high-damage EX Special Attacks and sustained laser-based Aftershocks [L84, L134]. Their core gameplay revolves around applying the 'Zeroed In' status to squad members, which provides significant ATK buffs and can be extended by triggering Aftershocks. This allows the agent to maintain high offensive pressure both on and off-field while ignoring enemy defenses [L84, L89].

Energy Regen
Increases CRIT Rate by 20/23/26/29/32%. When the equipper triggers an Aftershock that deals Fire DMG, their attacks ignore 15/17.2/19.5/21.7/24% of the target's DEF for 8s. Can stack once every 3s, up to 2 stacks. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
Why it works —Bellicose Blaze provides essential CRIT Rate and consistent DEF ignore, aligning perfectly with their Aftershock-heavy playstyle.
CRIT Rate
CRIT DMG increases by 50/57.5/65/72.5/80%. When the equipper enters the battlefield, or activates a Chain Attack or Ultimate, they gain 1 stack of Heartstring. Each stack of Heartstring allows the equipper's Chain Attack and Ultimate to ignore 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20% of the target's Fire RES, stacking up to 2 times and lasting 30s. Repeated triggers reset the duration.
Why it works —Heartstring Nocturne offers massive CRIT DMG and valuable Fire RES penetration for high-burst rotations.
ATK%
CRIT DMG is increased by 30/34.5/39/43.5/48%. When the equipper lands a hit with a Basic Attack, Special Attack, or Aftershock, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's CRIT DMG by an additional 10/11.5/13/14.5/16%, stacking up to 3 times. The effect lasts for 30s, with each stack's duration calculated separately, and can only be triggered once per use of a skill. With all 3 stacks, the equipper's Electric DMG increases by 20/23/26/29/32%.
CRIT Rate
Increases CRIT DMG by 45/51.75/58.5/65.25/72%. When using an EX Special Attack, Chain Attack, or Ultimate to deal Ice DMG, the equipper gains the Absolute Zero Death Sentence effect for 3s. While Absolute Zero Death Sentence is active, the character ignores 25/28.75/32.5/36.25/40% of the enemy's DEF when landing a hit.
CRIT Rate
Increases CRIT Rate by 15/17/19/21/23%. When the equipper deals DMG with a Basic Attack or EX Special Attack, they gain 1 stack of a buff. Each stack increases the equipper's Electric DMG by 12.5/14.5/16.5/18.5/20%, up to 2 stacks. Each stack lasts 40s. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. Can trigger once per use of a skill. At 2 stacks, the wearer's Basic Attack and Ultimate DMG ignore 20/23/26/29/32% of enemy DEF.

ATK%
ATK increases by 6/6.9/7.8/8.7/9.6%, and DMG dealt by EX Special Attacks increases by 15/17.2/19.5/21.8/24%.

Skills & Mindscapes
Skills
Orphie & Magus's CRIT Rate increases by 12.5%, and Aftershock DMG increases by 42.5%. Orphie & Magus initially gain 100 Bottled Heat, up to a maximum of 125. When Orphie & Magus are off-field, if Special Attack: Corrosive Flash is available and Energy is greater than or equal to 60, consume 30 Energy to automatically trigger EX Special Attack: Crimson Vortex instead. When the laser from EX Special Attack: Heat Charge hits enemies, all squad members gain Zeroed In for 12s. Repeated triggers reset the duration. Zeroed In increases Agent ATK by 130. When Orphie & Magus's initial Energy Regen is greater than or equal to 1.6, for every 0.1 initial Energy Regen above this threshold, ATK increases by an additional 20. The total increase from both initial and additional ATK increases cannot exceed 340. When an Agent with Zeroed In triggers Aftershock, their Zeroed In duration extends by 4s, up to a maximum extension of 20s. The fire blade attack from Basic Attack: High-Pressure Flamethrower, EX Special Attack: Watch Your Step, EX Special Attack: Crimson Vortex, EX Special Attack: Heat Charge, EX Special Attack: Fiery Eruption, Chain Attack: Overheated Barrel, and Ultimate: Dance With Fire all count as Aftershock DMG, and using these skills counts as triggering Aftershock.
