Orphie Magnusson, credited in game as Orphie & Magus, debuted in Version 2.2 and arrived on banners in late September 2025. She is an S-rank Fire element Attack specialist whose kit centers on Aftershock synergy, off-field scaling, and short high-impact on-field bursts with her companion Magus. This guide covers the best W-Engine, Drive Disc choices, stat priorities, skill order, team pairings, materials, and practical play tips so you can get the most out of her.

Why Orphie works

Orphie’s kit encourages alternating off-field buildup and on-field bursts, with Magus providing companion effects that scale from passive stats and Aftershock multipliers. In short, you build her to maximize the strength of her Aftershock triggers and make those spikes land harder. Guides emphasize stacking energy regen to keep burst windows available, and crit/ATK for raw damage.

W-Engine recommendations

1. Bellicose Blaze (signature): best-in-slot for most players because it synergizes with Orphie’s base kit and improves her main damage windows. If you have it, equip it.
2. Energy regen focused engines: if you lack the signature engine, choose W-Engines that boost energy recharge or ATK scaling so you can trigger Orphie’s bursts more frequently. Several community guides list energy regen engines as strong alternatives.

Drive Disc sets and stat priorities

• Primary sets
  • Shadow Harmony (recommended for Aftershock builds) increases Aftershock damage and pairs perfectly with Orphie’s core mechanic. Use a 2 pc or 4 pc based on availability.
  • Swing Jazz (energy regen and ATK) is excellent for increasing uptime and overall damage output and is commonly listed as the best practical option for many players.
• Priority stats
  1. Energy regen (to enable frequent bursts)
  2. Crit rate / Crit damage (to maximize burst windows)
  3. ATK% and secondary offensive stats
  4. Aftershock damage% if available on discs or set bonuses.

Skill priority and promotion focus

• Skill order: Max the talent that boosts Orphie’s Aftershock damage and any passive that buffs Magus first, then follow with the on-field burst skill. Community build guides list the Aftershock-scaling talent as the highest priority.
• Promotion mats: Follow the item list shown in the game and on build sites, focusing first on mats required to reach her key talent breakpoints. Mobalytics and other sites have detailed material tables if you need precise farming targets.

Best team comps

Orphie benefits from teammates who provide Rupture or elemental synergy, but because she is Fire Attack, she also pairs well with buffers that:

• Provide consistent energy or battery support so Orphie can hit burst windows reliably.
• Trigger rupture or shatter windows if you build hybrid comps that capitalize on Aftershock interactions.
  Community premium teams often pair Orphie with supports that boost energy regen or provide debuffs that increase Fire damage taken. Check recent tier lists for evolving best-in-slot partners as the meta develops.

Sample builds

1. Aftershock Spike build
   • W-Engine: Bellicose Blaze
   • Drive Discs: Shadow Harmony 2pc, complement with Crit and Energy subs
   • Stats: Energy regen, Crit, ATK
   • Play: Build off-field stacks, deploy Orphie for a single massive Aftershock burst, then rotate out.
2. Sustained Burst build
   • W-Engine: Energy regen focused alternative
   • Drive Discs: Swing Jazz set, plus ATK/energy subs
   • Stats: Energy regen, ATK, Crit
   • Play: Shorter but more frequent burst windows, consistent damage across fights.
