Defect

The Defect is one of 4 playable characters in Slay the Spire. It is a bronze automaton that became sentient and seeks its way out of the Spire. It attacks foes with a high-tech arsenal, an array of powers, and elemental evocations. The Defect has a unique mechanic, orbs. Using cards and relics, The Defect channels these elemental spheres into a set of orb slots, activating their passive effects each turn or evoking them for a one-time burst.
== Story ==
Much like the other playable characters, the Defect has little lore shown in-game. All we know is that it once woke up in the bottom of the Spire, and is along with the Bronze Automaton one of many combat automatons.
== Abilities ==
As explained above, the Defect can use various elemental orbs, from lightning orbs to plasma orbs and frost orbs. Some of these can strengthen the Defect in battle or give it more energy when their passive abilities are triggered. Additionally, the Defect can gain focus to increase the damage it deals with orbs. It can also shoot a large laser beam from its eye, though it will lose a lot of focus when doing so.
