Four stars.

Excellent value at 1 cost: 7 damage plus a Lightning orb. Attacking while generating orbs gives two benefits in one card, making it a workhorse Attack for Lightning decks.

Upgraded to 10 damage, it's even better. A flexible card that performs from early to late game, essentially a must-include in any Lightning-focused deck. Higher Focus also boosts Lightning's passive, so combining with Defragment turns one card into a major late-game damage source.

• Core Attack for Lightning decks from the early game onward
• Running multiple copies lets you stack Lightning every turn
• With Thunder (Power), each Evoke deals bonus damage
• One of the top priorities for upgrading

• Thunder (Power): Extra damage on every Lightning Evoke. Orbs from Ball Lightning deal massive damage when Evoked
• Defragment: Focus boost strengthens Lightning passive and Evoke damage
• Storm: Channels Lightning on every Power play, stacking orbs fast when combined with Ball Lightning
• Tesla Coil: Immediately triggers all Lightning passives
• Dual Cast / Multi-Cast: Chains Evokes on generated Lightning for huge damage

• Defect Lightning Orb Build (Key Card) (A tier)
• Defect Hybrid Orb Cycle Build (Key Card) (B tier)
