Bonds

This article is a stub. You can help the Orchid Mod Wiki by expanding it.

Bonds are a mechanic associated with the Shaman class in the Orchid Mod. When dealing damage with shamanic weapons, the player will gain bonds based on the weapon used, which give access to bond abilities. The max level for new effects is 12, and past that you only gain stat buffs.

Bonds, aside from giving bond abilities, also may augment the stats or effects of certain shamanic weapons, or trigger the activation of certain shamanic accessories' effects.

Types

Fire

The Fire bond loads over time and shoots a powerful fireball. At level 3 the fireball pierces up to 2 enemies. At level 5 the fireball explodes on first hit. At level 8 the explosion releases damaging embers. At level 12 hit enemies will take heavy damage after a delay.
