TBH I made the comment about orbital not knowing you could target enemies by clicking 😅. Orbital card is still overpowered for those reasons you listed above, i dont know if you thought i was trying to discredit it or anything, its still an amazing card by itself. The reason i say you dont need insane bullet speed to use orbital is that if you focus on adding small flames and damage its practically better than upgrading bullet speed. Its up to you personally whether you want to upgrade small flames themselves for them to be stronger or if you want to upgrade bullet speed (it’ll be weaker but better for you overall because of slimes and caterpillars). I’d say bullet speed is better to upgrade if your focusing on multiple cards, but if your focusing on orbital upgrade those corresponding cards first. Also you really shouldn’t run Armor shredder or assassin early game because those enemies dont really have armor (also i haven’t been effected by that assassin armor glitch) and assassin at lower percentages is still better than armor shredder at lower percentages.
