Tips

The best strategy to defeat the solo Orb Walker is to be very aggressive. Consider blocking if your attacks in hand are subpar. Because of its buff, the Orb Walker can snowball very quickly. As with most heavy-hitters, Weak can be a very powerful asset to buy you more time. The Weak Potion is also effective as the three Weak will lessen damage every single turn, and the Orb Walker always attacks.

In its Event encounter, focusing on one and then the next is typically the best strategy. Area of Effect damage or cards such as Corpse Explosion are also immensely helpful.

Trivia

• Though this monster bears resemblance to a Sentry and seems to be man-made, it doesn't have the Artifact Buff.
• The Orb Walker's resemblance to the Repulsor seems to have no clear connection, apart from that they are both robotic monsters.
• Two Orb Walkers used to be an Act 3 Elite encounter until it was replaced by the Reptomancer.
