• Effect applies immediately upon Orb pickup

Compatible Weapons

Works with all Strand damage weapons:

• Primary ammo Strand weapons
• Special ammo Strand weapons
• Heavy ammo Strand weapons
• Both Legendary and Exotic Strand weapons

Build Synergies

Orb Generation Sources

• Wished into Being - Ability kills spawn Orbs
• Weapon multi-kills with masterworked weapons
• Super casts from allies
• Mods like Firepower or Heavy Handed

Strand Synergies

• Unraveling spreads to create chain reactions
• Works with Thread of Propagation for more unravels
• Combines with Threadlings for additional tracking damage
• Enhances add-clear potential significantly

Strategic Applications

• Add Clear: Unraveling creates chain reactions in groups
• Champion Utility: Pierce Barrier shields without Anti-Barrier mods
• Ammo Efficiency: Tracking projectiles provide free damage
• Cross-Element Builds: Use Strand weapons on any subclass

Comparison to Other Sources

• No ability investment required unlike Shackle Grenade
• More accessible than Unraveling Rounds fragment
• Shorter duration than fragment version
• Stacks with other Unraveling sources

Subclass Flexibility

• Enables non-Strand subclasses to access Strand verbs
• Particularly valuable for Solar/Arc/Void builds
• No Fragment or Aspect requirements
• Works purely through Orb interaction

Optimization Tips

• Pair with high Orb-generation builds
• Use Strand weapons with good add-clear potential
• Position near Orb spawns during combat
• Combine with damage perks for enhanced projectiles

Notes

• Part of Season 23's cross-element synergy theme
• Does not require Strand subclass to function
• Unraveling Rounds timer refreshes with each Orb
• Particularly effective in high enemy-density activities
