Active farming
Rotate between Space Invader groups across Midgard Island. Highest kills per hour = fastest Red Orb accumulation. Recommended for players chasing Yamato quickly.

How to Farm Red Orbs
Red Orbs are the main gate for crafting Yamato — you need 1,000 of them. This guide covers Space Invader farming on Midgard Island, drop-rate expectations, codes, chests, trading, and how to farm efficiently alongside Space Ore.

What are Red Orbs in Broken Blade?
Red Orbs are a new crafting material introduced with the Reforge the Yamato update on June 12, 2026. They exist primarily to gate the Yamato forge — the game's second 5-star weapon after Explosion.
Confirmed: Yamato requires exactly 1,000 Red Orbs alongside Money, Gems, Katana Pieces, Fire Seeds, and the Space element. Katana Pieces and Fire Seeds accumulate naturally; Red Orbs are where most players spend the majority of their grind time.
While farming Red Orbs you will also pick up Space Ore — the recommended upgrade material for Yamato after forging. Midgard Island is effectively a dual-material farm.
Best way to farm Red Orbs: Space Invaders
Every major guide agrees: kill Space Invaders on Midgard Island. The reported drop rate is above 50%, making repeated clears the fastest path to 1,000 orbs — but that figure is community-observed, not officially published by Skyrift Devs.
- Reach Midgard Island — also called Dungeon Island. Use the portal from the main world hub.
- Locate Space Invaders — multiple Space Invader bosses exist on the island. Videos mention very high HP pools; having strong damage (~1,600%+ reported) helps before committing to a long session.
- Farm actively, not AFK — move between spawn groups, kill fast, and relocate. Standing in one spot works but is significantly slower.
- Stack luck bonuses — equip your best Luck Title. If a 2x Luck event or game pass is active, farm during that window.
- Bank Space Ore on the side — same enemies and chests also drop Space Ore for post-craft Yamato upgrades.
AFK farming
Standing at a single boss spawn works but moves at a far slower pace. Viable if you cannot actively play, but expect a much longer grind to 1,000.
SlowerHow to maximize Red Orb drops
Small efficiency gains matter when you need 1,000 orbs. These tips come from AllThings.How, GameStratWiki, and multiple YouTube farming guides.
Luck Title
Equip your strongest Luck Title before every session. Extra luck is reported to improve drop rates across thousands of kills.
2x Luck events
If Broken Blade is running a 2x Luck or 2x Drop event, prioritize farming during that window. Temporary events can cut grind time significantly.
Fast Katana build
Vanir + Wind + Loki is the standard speed-farming concept. See the tier list for current build recommendations.
Drop rate disclaimer: The ">50%" figure appears consistently across AllThings.How, Sportskeeda, and YouTube guides — but no official Skyrift Devs drop table exists. Your actual rate may vary with luck, damage, and event bonuses.
All Red Orb sources compared
Space Invaders are the primary farm. Everything else is supplemental or no longer available.
| Source | Type | Notes | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Space Invaders (Midgard Island) | Primary | Fastest — active movement between groups | Confirmed |
| Space Chests | Supplemental | Some Red Orbs + Space Ore inside | Reported |

Active codes for Yamato path: Only BB40KLIKES and BB30KLIKES remain useful — each gives 2x Space Chest (unlimited claims). Red Orb codes (BB30KCCU, BB40KCCU) and Space element codes (BBDC30K/35K/40K) are expired per GamesRadar and PCGamesN (June 26, 2026). Check the Codes page for current status.

Red Orbs FAQ
Common farming questions answered from verified public sources.
Where do Red Orbs drop in Broken Blade?
Space Invaders on Midgard Island (Dungeon Island) are the main reported source. Multiple independent guides agree this is the fastest route for the 1,000 Red Orbs Yamato requires.
What is the drop rate of Red Orbs from Space Invaders?
Community guides consistently cite a drop rate above 50%, but this is player-observed — Skyrift Devs has not published an official drop table. Treat it as a farming estimate, not a guarantee.
How many Red Orbs do you need to craft Yamato?
1,000 Red Orbs. This is confirmed across AllThings.How, Sportskeeda, and multiple YouTube guides. It is the main bottleneck for the Yamato forge.
What is the fastest way to farm Red Orbs?
Active farming: move between Space Invader groups on Midgard Island, kill quickly, and repeat. Equip your best Luck Title and farm during any 2x Luck event if one is running.
Is AFK farming Red Orbs worth it?
AFK works but is significantly slower than active rotation. If your goal is Yamato quickly, active farming is the better choice according to AllThings.How and GameStratWiki.
Can you trade Red Orbs with other players?
Yes — player trading is reported as a valid source. Note that code-granted Red Orbs from BB40KCCU were described as "Untradable" on Bloxron. Farmed orbs may behave differently — verify in-game.
Do any active codes give Red Orbs?
No. BB30KCCU and BB40KCCU (5x Red Orb each) are expired as of June 2026. The only active Yamato-relevant codes are BB30KLIKES and BB40KLIKES, which give Space Chests instead.
Where are Space Invaders on Midgard Island?
Enter Midgard Island through its portal, then explore the island for Space Invader enemies. One guide mentions multiple bosses with very high HP — aim for ~1,600% damage output before serious farming.
Does a Luck Title increase Red Orb drop rate?
Public guides recommend equipping your strongest Luck Title before a session. Extra luck is reported to improve material drops across thousands of kills.
Can you get Red Orbs from Space Chests?
Yes — opening Space Chests (from BB30KLIKES / BB40KLIKES codes or island drops) is reported to contain some Red Orbs alongside Space Ore. This is supplemental, not a replacement for Space Invader farming.
Are there other uses for Red Orbs besides Yamato?
Yamato crafting is the primary confirmed use. Bloxron's codes page mentions Red Orbs as "consumable reroll items" in a code context — whether farmed orbs share that use needs in-game verification.
Can you farm Red Orbs and Space Ore at the same time?
Yes. Space Invaders and Space Chests on Midgard Island drop both materials, making the island a one-stop farm for Yamato crafting and upgrading.
