A-tier

Seven damage plus a variable draw based on the number of Orbs in your slots, all at cost 1. The more Orbs, the bigger the card haul.

At full 3 slots it is 7 damage plus 3 draws. With Capacitor expanding the slot count, Orb-heavy decks can expect 5 to 10 draws. Large draw volume accelerates deck cycling and speeds up reaching your next combo. Any deck stacking Orbs treats it as a near-mandatory include.

• Play when Orbs are at maximum capacity for the biggest draw
• With Capacitor expanding slots, the draw count snowballs
• Use early in the turn to dig for combo pieces
• The 7 damage attack line still pulls its weight as raw offense

• Capacitor: Extra Orb slots directly scale Compile Driver's draw
• Tempest / Zap: Pack Lightning into slots before firing Compile Driver
• Glacier / Blizzard: Load Frost into slots to inflate Compile Driver's draw count
• Machine Learning: Extra turn draw stacks with Compile Driver to spin the deck
• Echo Form: Played first, Compile Driver fires twice for double damage and draw

• Obtained from Defect card rewards during a run
• Available for purchase in shops
