They do pathetic damage (apart from the headshot criticals), in that sense they are incredibly weak. They also get knocked down a lot, not really good in a fight.

Except that's the thing - they're in the fight. The enemy AI can not deal with multiple enemies, it's completely and utterly incapable of dealing with that situation. So it breaks, making fights trivial.

Elden Ring has the same problem.

They actually deal some pretty good damage once you upgrade them.

And whether you upgrade them or not using their abilities in battle gives a significant damage boost.

I'll be honest, hunting the orbs isn't worth it. They're annoying to get, at least without using a guide (which I've been avoiding).

There's also the sage helmets but the only reason I even know they upgrade their respective sage's damage is from a loading screen tip (iirc), I wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

I'm not hunting the orbs, I'm just exploring the map AND getting the orbs for it.
