Unique Upgrade Orb

Unique Upgrade Orb system overview

Unique Upgrade Orb is an in-depth power upgrade system for Unique Upgraded / Unique C2 equipment in D2TM Season 25.
Core rules: All types of Unique Upgrade Orbs are initially crafted white index (no option lines yet). The player activates the Orb with the desired Unique C2 embryo to draw lines, then inlays the Orb into the equipment like a top-notch Jewel.

Orb white index

All Unique Upgrade Orbs when pressed initially have a white index (no option lines). Need to activate with C2 embryo to load current.

Activation & Mosaic

Right-click the white Orb on the Unique C2 embryo to load options, then insert the activated Orb into the equipped socket like a Jewel.

Copy and Delete options

The Orb Copy mechanism helps preserve and duplicate standard option lines, combined with Orb Remove to filter out redundant stat lines or inappropriate garbage lines.

Roll & Split Orb Key 99

Use Soul Stone to roll the index, Reset Count to bring the roll to 0/5, and use Key 99 to separate the Orb to preserve the equipment.

Orb separation formula using Key 99

When you need to remove Orbs from equipment or separate Orb levels, use Key 99 in Cube:

Equipment containing Orb + Key 99 = Detach to regain Orb and equip embryo (all Orbs when separated will return to white Orb form).
Unique Upgrade Orb Level 2 + Key 99 = Split to Level 1 & Level 2 (all Orbs after splitting will return to white Orb form).
Unique Upgrade Orb Level 3 + 2 Key 99 = Split to Level 1 - 3 (all Orbs after splitting return to white Orb form).
Unique Upgrade Orb Level 4 + 3 Key 99 = Split to Level 1 - 4 (all Orbs after splitting return to white Orb form).
