Early Astral Orb Farm
By Mewn
Hello fellow Hero's!
After searching unsuccessfully for a good way to collect some Astral Orbs to get the Alchemy feature starting fairly early in the Game, I came up with a build that is so easy that anybody can build it with a couple hours in.

You will need a few things in order for this to work properly but nothing you have to invest too much into.
  • Rogue Class
  • Spider Cocoon
  • Temporal beacon
  • Outpost ( these guys will get you some extra hits on the Watcher which in return gives you more Dice rolls )
  • Forest ( not necessary but nice to have to get your attack speed rolling in the early loops )

    The build works the way that you use spiders to buy you some time to get hits into the watcher who every time he receives damage will roll a Dice so he either takes 1 or 100 damage. The watcher does not attack himself instead he buffs enemy units with a shield and he does this as long as there are enemies present that he hasn't buffed yet.

    Once all other enemies are dead or every enemy got buffed by him, he will disappear, therefore it is important to have as many enemies together with the watcher so you have time to kill him while he buffs the others. the reason i choose spiders is that they spawn really quick, don't do a lot of damage and are fairly easy to kill.

    I hope this Guide was helpful :)

    Greetings.

Does this still work? Just been getting memory fragments for watcher kills.

Please.
You use plural correctly literally every other time
So why does the very first instance have an illegal apostrophe

Also if you have sniper towers in your base then you can add up to like, 4 additional attackers as long as you make the fight happen near your camp

Another thought after trying this: Use Temporal Beacons on all path, the speed up of time makes more spiders generate before you loop. Not only does this give more targets for sheilding, but also gets you 5 enemies which means you can farm orbs of expasion. Bookerys can help you shuffle to get the right cards.

Also been insipred by this to farm regular items, using ruins surrounded by road lanterns. You can get a line of ruins with so many lanterns that no enemies can spawn and you can just hoover up materials each loop.

Abandoned bookeries make watchers dangerous but then they dont flee
