How evolutions and super-evolutions work

Updated 2026-11-15

Most weapons in Orbonk can evolve. An evolution turns a weapon into a much stronger version with a new look.

Evolution

1. Raise the weapon to its top level.
2. Own the weapon’s evolution passive, at any level.
3. Kill an elite and open its chest. The chest offers the evolution.

For example, the Fireball evolves with Area: Fireball + Area = Meteor Shower.

Super-evolution

A super-evolution goes one step further. Keep the evolved weapon, then raise two specific passives to their top level. An elite chest then offers the super-evolution. The weapon deals 1.6 times its damage and glows gold.

For the Fireball, the super-evolution is Apocalypse. See the Fireball page for its two passives.

Where to find recipes

• The evolutions table lists every recipe, with filters by element.
• Each weapon page shows its own recipe at the bottom.
• Each passive page lists the weapons it evolves.

Some evolutions are locked behind achievements. The weapon page tells you which one.
