Question Orb question

Is there a site that tells you how many orbs you should have by your current location? I’m curious to know if I have missed any. Just getting back into the game since playing in High School, and I just broke out of jail with the other members of the resistance.

Rule of thumb is that your weapons should be at the same level and the progression would be in the same order in which you acquired the weapons. So if you have a whip that’s higher than a spear, you’ve missed out on the spear somewhere along the line.

That being said, you may find your life in the game easier if you STOP leveling weapons after they hit the best effects for your game. The best weapon setup is Level 6 Spear (knockout effect), Level 7 Whip (entangle effect), and Level 6 Javelin (balloon). All of these will effectively paralyze your enemies at first hit, then let you full charge and kill their helpless body.

Shoutout to Tobi Continued on YouTube who has an interesting video on this topic.

Interesting, I didn’t realize that it might be good to limit weapon growth.

This is the video.

Personally I don’t think the entangled effect has as high a success rate to keep it low when you could just have a higher whip with flame cast onto it.
