Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu ·
Playstyle Overview
Orphie & Magus is a Fire Attack Agent who plays like a sub-DPS and buffer. While off-field, she fires an Aftershock every 5s off her teammates' attacks, and most of her attacks count as Aftershocks. Her key buff is Zeroed In from Heat Charge: team-wide ATK scaling with her Energy Regen, plus 25% DEF ignore on Aftershocks.
At 100 Bottled Heat, hold Special to fire Heat Charge, triggering a Quick Assist and refreshing the buff. Build CRIT, ATK and Energy Regen. She is easy to play, but her Decibel generation is poor, her long animations lock out swaps, and she needs the right partners.

Energy Regen determines how much ATK Zeroed In gives the team; maxing it needs her signature, an Energy Regen 2-piece and an Energy Regen Disc 6. An ATK% Disc 6 is still competitive when Orphie deals a large share of the damage or tends to overcap Energy (Seed teams). For Disc 5, ATK% is usually slightly ahead; Fire DMG wins when the team has other flat ATK buffers like Seed or Astra Yao. Aim for 90–100% CRIT Rate including her Core Passive and set bonus.

Dodge
Level her Core Skill first: it raises her CRIT Rate, Aftershock DMG and the ATK granted by Zeroed In. Special Attack is her main damage source since all her Aftershocks and Heat Charge belong to it, followed by Chain Attack/Ultimate. Assist and Basic Attack come after, and Dodge can stay at 1.

Best Bangboo for Orphie & Magus
Mercury is the main pick: its Additional Ability needs at least 2 Defense Force members (such as Orphie and Trigger), and every Aftershock powers up its next Active Skill. Teams with 2 Electric Agents such as Soldier 0 - Anby and Trigger can use Electroboo or Plugboo; Overtimeboo is a generic fallback.

Mindscape Cinema
Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?
M1 and M2 are the most valuable stops, together raising Orphie's personal damage by roughly 40%. M4 mainly helps teams without Aftershocks such as Seed teams, while M6 is one of the strongest M6s around and overhauls how she plays. M3 and M5 only add skill levels.
- M1Corrosive Flash, Crimson Vortex, Heat Charge and Fiery Eruption ignore 15% Fire RES, and every Agent with Zeroed In deals 20% more DMG. Excellent in Aftershock teams where the buff stays up, weaker in Seed teams.
- M2Each Aftershock restores 65 Decibels (once every 4s), fixing her poor Decibel generation, and her Ultimate grants +20% ATK for 45s. It makes 3 Ultimates per fight easy, though its value depends on the encounter.
- M4Zeroed In lasts 16s, and Heat Charge and her Ultimate deal 40% more DMG. Almost irrelevant for Aftershock teams, but very valuable for teams that can't extend the buff, such as Seed teams.
- M6Her fire blade restores Bottled Heat and can chain straight into Crimson Vortex while on-field, and the lasers of Heat Charge and her Ultimate deal extra Fire DMG equal to 250% ATK every 0.5s. Orphie becomes viable as an on-field main DPS.
M1Luxurious Cat HouseRecommended
Orphie & Magus' Special Attack: Corrosive Flash, EX Special Attack: Crimson Vortex, EX Special Attack: Heat Charge, and EX Special Attack: Fiery Eruption ignore 15% of target's Fire RES, and Agents with Zeroed In deal 20% increased DMG.
The corners of Orphie's room are filled with all sorts of cat supplies: a cat tree for climbing, a soft cushion, a scratching post that won't break, and carefully selected toys...
"I'm always worried about finding a sick, homeless cat near the outpost... If I have these things ready in advance, it'll be easier for them to stay here..."
"Though we can't keep cats in the camp... I'll definitely find a kind owner for them within the captain's deadline!"
"But Orphie, those things have been in the dorm for three years, and you still haven't found such a cat!"
M2Weird Food ListRecommended
When Orphie & Magus launch an Aftershock, restore 65 Decibels. This effect can trigger once every 4s.
After Orphie & Magus use their Ultimate, their ATK increases by 20% for up to 45s.
Sea grape popcorn, sakura peach seafood porridge, spicy strawberry braised tofu...
Orphie sometimes tries foods with bizarre flavors, all chaotically listed on the list at the corner of her desk.
"While tasty food is tempting, interesting flavors are worth trying too! ...Just as long as they're not bitter!"
"Hey Proxy, wanna try my favorite ultra-spicy strawberry coconut candy? I've already unwrapped it for you—"
"Soldier Orphie, your weird tastes are gonna scare away all your friends one day!"
M3Tactics Manual
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
No one knows what's written in the "Tactics Manual: Orphie's Special Extension" sitting on the young lady's bedside table, not even Captain Magus...
"'Annihilation-1', 'Retreat-3', 'Patrol-2'... Oh, and 'Social Rendezvous-5'!"
"Hold up, Orphie, since when did the tactical strategies for social rendezvous expand to five entries?!"
"I was just testing if you were familiar enough with the Tactics Manual, hehe! You passed, Captain!"
M4Pink HolsterRecommended
Initial duration of Zeroed In increases to 16s, and Orphie & Magus's EX Special Attack: Heat Charge and Ultimate: Dance With Fire DMG increases by 40%.
Magus never responds to empty threats, which is exactly why Orphie actually bought a pink holster.
It sits in the bottom drawer of the storage locker, serving as a constant reminder for Magus to watch her words — though with limited success.
"Captain, I've told you before, think thrice before speaking, or you'll end up hurting others!"
"Those punks deserved those bullets! Wait, Orphie... Squad Member Orphie, I order you to put that horrendously pink thing down!"
M5Ferry Toll
Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2
It was Orphie who placed the silver, gleaming commemorative coin right at the entrance where anyone could see it.
"Where could that silver coin for crossing the River of the underworld be~"
"How about... making a set of commemorative coins like this? Using the squad emblem as the design, as a symbol of our squad spirit."
"So a badge of moonlight can be born from black flames...?"
"Stop saying things nobody understands, Soldier 11! But Trigger's idea is great! We could even put all the squad members' names on the back! What do you think, Captain?"
"Approved."
M6Magic SeedRecommended
With enough energy, after the fire blade attack of Basic Attack: High-Pressure Flamethrower, press EX to immediately follow up with EX Special Attack: Crimson Vortex.
When the fire blade attack of Basic Attack: High-Pressure Flamethrower is activated, recover 10 Bottled Heat, and the Interrupt Level during the low firepower phase of EX Special Attack: Heat Charge will also increase. 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.
"Captain, this kind of seed won't grow into a flower. Just like me... no matter how hard I try, nothing ever comes of it..."
"Orphie, this is a magic seed. Though it can't bloom or sprout on its own, it helps other seeds grow into mighty trees... Just keep it with you, and it will bring you good fortune."
"Like me, it will always stay by your side, Orphie, watching as you gradually become the finest soldier."
—Facing that tiny figure who clumsily wipes away tears with her palms, her face twisted with hurt and sadness, Magus's voice flowed from her muzzle with a gentleness never heard before.

"Tactical strategy: Annihilation-Delta!" "Yes, Captain Magus!"
"Stop staring at those flashy action figure ads! Or I'll confiscate all those ones you've got stashed in your drawer!"
"That won't do, Captain! Unless you want to wake up tomorrow with pink holsters!"
"Tch... Get me two boxes of gun oil and I'll pretend I didn't see anything."
"Thanks Captain! You want the Nitro-Fuel flavored ones again, right?"
Story
Details
Magus is the captain of Obol Squad. She was gravely injured during the fall of the old capital and on the brink of death. After taking part in a military research project, her consciousness was transferred into a weapon, allowing her to survive as an Intelligent Construct. Since the squad's formation, she has remained its heart and soul — hot-tempered and impulsive at times, yet deeply respected and trusted by her comrades.
Orphie shares an extraordinary bond with Magus — one that goes far beyond that of just "partners." The two have known each other for years, and Magus often acts like a mother, offering guidance and care. In return, Orphie does everything she can to meet Magus' expectations, aspiring to become a strong, independent soldier like her captain.
Strictly speaking, Orphie enjoys many things Magus disapproves of: fancy desserts, cute animals, and overly decorative toys. Her captain sees them as signs of softness, unfit for a soldier. Still, while Magus enforces discipline in public and imposes the expectations of a perfect soldier, she pretends to be in "sleep mode" just to turn a blind eye to Orphie's less-than-perfect behavior. According to this supposedly "strict and impartial" captain, she's simply following the parenting advice laid out in an online series titled "Raising a Child Prodigy."
Ghi Chú Hợp Tác
They see each other as reflections of themselves, sharing certain vulnerabilities, though Magus tends to keep hers well concealed.
Note: Even so, you've already uncovered plenty of weaknesses Magus tried to keep hidden. Nothing escapes your keen eyes!
