Want to equip Orb of Causality on 5th God Hand? You can get this Secret-tier equipment for 5th God Hand in two ways: clear Crimson Shore Mastery or craft it at the Armory Forge in the Expedition Hub. The Mastery route starts with all five Crimson Shore Normal acts, while Forge becomes available after you reach Armory Level 2.
This guide covers both ways to obtain the Orb, what to expect from its 5% drop chance and 20-clear pity, and how its Causality passive works once you equip it.
How to Unlock Crimson Shore Mastery in Anime Expeditions
Crimson Shore Mastery is separate from the region's Normal story. Clear the five Normal acts first, then select the Mastery card from the Crimson Shore stage list.
- Open the Crimson Shore Normal story.
- Clear Acts 1 through 5.
- Return to the stage-selection screen and choose the separate Crimson Shore Mastery card.
Once the Normal story is complete, Mastery is the stage to farm for Orb of Causality.
How to Get Orb of Causality from Crimson Shore Mastery
Crimson Shore Mastery is a Hard-mode stage with a 5% chance to drop Orb of Causality on each clear and a 20-clear pity. Start the stage from the Mastery card rather than replaying one of the five Normal acts.
After each clear, check the reward and your inventory. If the Orb does not appear, run Crimson Shore Mastery again. The 5% chance applies to each clear, and the stage has a 20-clear pity. If the Orb does not drop on an early clear, keep farming the same Mastery card instead of assuming you chose the wrong stage or expecting it on a particular run.
How to Craft Orb of Causality at the Armory Forge
Forge is the alternative source in the Expedition Hub's Armory. Armory Level 1 unlocks equipment rerolling, and Armory Level 2 unlocks the equipment Forge.
Use this route as follows:
- Go to the Armory in the Expedition Hub.
- Reach Armory Level 2 so the equipment Forge is available.
- Open Forge Equipment and look for Orb of Causality.
- Read the current Orb entry, then provide the Equipment Scrap and Sprites shown there to craft it when the recipe is available.
Use the quantities shown in the live Forge panel instead of relying on a static shopping list for Orb of Causality. If the Orb entry is missing or locked, use Crimson Shore Mastery as your acquisition route while you continue progressing the Armory.
Orb of Causality Stats and Causality Passive in Anime Expeditions
Orb of Causality provides random equipment rolls plus the Causality passive. The roll values are ranges, not fixed stats, so a new Orb can land anywhere inside those ranges.
| Part of the item | Effect | Practical read |
|---|---|---|
| Random equipment rolls | +1% to +10% Damage and -1% to -5% SPA | Check the individual roll you receive; +1% Damage and -1% SPA are the low ends, not the full fixed effect. |
| Fated Meter | Starts at 0 and has a capacity of 35 | The passive builds its meter through the Mark Of Fate trigger below. |
| Mark Of Fate trigger | If an enemy survives Distortion's damage, it receives Mark Of Fate and the unit gains 1 Fated Meter | Distortion must leave the enemy alive for the mark and meter gain to happen. |
| Marked enemies in range | Each enemy in range with Mark Of Fate gives the unit +5% Damage and +2.5% Range | The bonus is based on marked enemies in range, and Mark Of Fate does not stack on the same enemy. |
| Damage against marked enemies | Marked enemies take 20% increased damage from this unit | The equipped unit gets an additional advantage against the enemies it marked. |
The order matters during a wave: Distortion damages an enemy, the enemy survives, and then Causality applies Mark Of Fate and adds one point to the Fated Meter. Marked enemies in range then contribute the Damage and Range bonuses, while the 20% increased damage applies to those marked targets from this unit.
How to Equip Orb of Causality on 5th God Hand
Orb of Causality is restricted to 5th God Hand. After the item appears in your inventory, open that unit's equipment screen, choose its unit-equipment slot, and select the Orb. Deploying 5th God Hand with the Orb equipped is what lets its Distortion and Causality effects work together.
The equipment's passive replaces the unit's original passive, so check the resulting loadout before you deploy it. If you still need the unit itself, the 5th God Hand guide covers that separate progression.
For the clearest route, clear Crimson Shore Normal Acts 1 through 5 and farm the Hard Mastery card. Keep Armory Level 2 as an alternative when the live Forge menu shows Orb of Causality and its recipe.
