Glasswork

Glasswork is an uncommon Defect skill costing 1 Energy that gains 5 Block and channels 1 Glass Orb. Glass is a unique Orb type that shatters when Evoked, dealing damage to all enemies. The defensive Block combined with the unique Orb type makes Glasswork a distinctive addition to the Defect's toolkit.

Glasswork provides a unique Orb type that counts for Compile Driver's draw bonus and Synchronize's Focus calculation. Barrage deals damage per Orb, counting Glass. Defragment increases the passive effect of Glass alongside all other Orbs, and Dualcast can Evoke Glass twice for doubled shatter damage.

For the Defect, Glasswork is particularly valuable in Orb-diversity builds that use Compile Driver and Synchronize. Against bosses like Ceremonial Beast, the AoE damage from Glass shattering adds up. Against Vantom, the Block and unique Orb type provide both defense and Compile Driver fuel. Pick Glasswork when your deck benefits from Orb variety rather than stacking a single type.
