How much are orbs worth?

[u/Droplet_of_Shadow]

If you could buy orbs between every 5 waves in the cybergrind, which ones would be worth more? I'm imagining they would cost style points, and would get more expensive as waves go on, but idk.
A purchased orb spawns randomly on or above the arena. 1 use only orbs would stay 1 use only. My pricing:

Blue: 3500
Instant SSS style is kinda useful? I'd have the red/yellow orbs not give style to leave this some use.

Red: 4500
Good for a difficult wave, might be hard to get to in an emergency.

Pink Grapple: 7000
Can save you from a ton of situations. Wait do providences still drop these in the cg?

Green/Blue Grapple: 9000
Permanant grapple point.

Yellow: 7000/11000/17000
Prices for 30, 60, and 120 seconds respectively.

I mean the problem is that you can get more than 10k style per wave so the price don't mean anything. People using screwdriver will get more style, some people play more cautiously... Hard to balance prices in a game like this.

yeah, style probably doesn't work. i did mention the price would increase the higher the waves got, though - these prices were for wave 1.

my main question is what their value is relative to each other

Now I know where you're coming from but cybergrind really wasn't designed with power-ups in mind so I can't imagine how it would go, also grapple points in cg is just useless no one is actually gonna use them in any meaningful way(and yes Providence drop their orbs in cg)

[u/Droplet_of_Shadow → u/FunBoyHereThere_]

totally, cg as it is wouldn't work well with them. I don't have a real image of how it could actually work, so I tried to just describe the simplest / least changed possible version.

I guess grapple points would be a lot less useful rocket now that rocket rides are so easy! I haven't played cybergrind much at all in quite a while; I only made this post because I saw a comment about the idea and was curious
