"This is my personal tier list of the orbs based on my many playthroughs (trying to focus on focusing on at least 2 orbs per playthrough).
S is the "I always want to use these" tier.
A is the "Solid options, both fun and effective" tier.
B is the "Rough early game but pretty strong late game" tier.
C is the "I will begrudgingly use these, but I might swap to something else when I get frustrated" tier.
D is the "these actually feel unusable/unenjoyable" tier.

The fact that there are at least 9 orbs I enjoy using full-time makes me understand why this is probably tied for my most replayed singleplayer game thus far.
