# Orbs System

Orbs are collectible resources that drop from defeated enemies during gameplay. Each orb type provides specific benefits and has a limited lifespan—if not collected quickly, orbs will expire and disappear.

### Orb Types

#### Health Orb

**Purpose:** Restores player health upon collection.

**Drop Rate:** High drop chance

Health Orbs provide immediate healing when collected. These orbs drop frequently from defeated enemies, offering players opportunities to recover health during combat. Orbs expire after a short duration if not collected.

#### XP Orb

**Purpose:** Provides experience points for player progression.

**Drop Rate:** Always drops from defeated enemies

XP Orbs are guaranteed drops from every enemy killed. Collecting XP Orbs allows players to level up, unlock abilities, and increase stats. Since XP is essential for progression, efficient collection of these orbs is critical for surviving later waves.

#### Armor Orb

**Purpose:** Restores or increases player armor.

**Drop Rate:** Rare drop chance

Armor Orbs are rare defensive resources that provide armor protection when collected. Armor absorbs damage before health is affected, making these orbs extremely valuable. Due to their rarity, armor orbs should be prioritized when they appear.

#### Stamina Orb

**Purpose:** Restores player stamina.

**Drop Rate:** Rare drop chance

Stamina Orbs are rare resources that restore stamina when collected. Since stamina is critical for sprinting and mobility, these orbs provide crucial movement recovery during intense combat situations. Running out of stamina can be fatal, making stamina orbs highly valuable despite their rare drop rate.

### Collection Mechanics

#### Expiration

All orbs have a limited duration after dropping. If not collected within this timeframe, orbs will expire and disappear permanently.

**Expiration Duration:** \[5 seconds]

#### Automated Collection

The Gloop pet automatically collects XP, health, and armor orbs within its range, preventing resource loss from expiration and allowing players to focus on combat.

***

### Strategic Tips

* Prioritize XP orbs early in runs to unlock abilities faster
* Never ignore armor orbs due to their rarity and defensive value
* Use Gloop pet for automated collection during intense combat
* Balance orb collection with combat positioning—surviving is more important than collecting every orb

***

*Orbs are fundamental to survival and progression in Insomnus. Efficient collection and prioritization separate successful runs from early defeats.*
