FreeUp Orbless is a different take on the Orbless strategy that particularly uses Free Upgrades and (ideally) Black Hole Digestor.

Introduction

The general goal of Orbless is to carefully control damage so that Enemies die mostly within Spotlight to leverage the Spotlight Coin Bonus. Ideally this is paired with high uptime or permanent Black Hole (BH) and Golden Tower (GT).

Since the goal is to kill mostly within Spotlight. Spotlight Missiles are the perfect tool, but other damaging Ultimate Weapons (UW) can work as well.

Like all Devo strategies, Orbless usually requires intentionally leaving some abilities (like the namesake Orbs at 0) and forgoing Free Upgrades to control which abilities get leveled and when.

FreeUp Orbless takes a different spin on this and starts with all Free Upgrades maxed. But leaves the entire attack section of the workshop unlocked but at level 0. This allows Free Upgrades to slowly max out the attack portion of the workshop and therefore scale damage output gradually.

Ideally we use Black Hole Digestor as Generator, to benefit from the Free Upgrades as well as ensuring we keep Tower Range at 30m, even when using full Free Attack Upgrades.

Furthermore we ideally have:

• Free Upgrades Card Mastery with at least one lab level so we can also prevent Free Upgrades from adding Orbs and Shockwave Size, allowing the usage of maxed Free Upgrades (i.e., the Free Upgrades Lock).
• Free Upgrades Workshop Enhancements
• Free Upgrades Perk

Workshop Setup

Attack

• Everything unlocked and at level 0.
• You can lock Multishot Chance, Bounce Shot Range, etc., depending on additional locks from Free Upgrades Card Mastery and UW of choice for farming. (Spotlight Missiles does not need Attack Speed, Chain Lightning does)

Defense

• Everything unlocked and at various levels.
• Orbs and Shockwave Size at 0 and locked via Free Upgrades Mastery.

Utility

• Max everything except Enemy Level Skips, but invest into those as much as you can.
