Your use of fission requires specific circumstances to make it effective, which while not rare, definitely requires some luck to get it set up that way consistently and would struggle vs. Or you may not be able to gain any that turn, depending on how saturated your deck is. Now you need to pull a glacier and/or coolheaded to rebuild your orbs somewhat, otherwise you're going to be relying on the frozen core slowly filling them (it's a good relic, but it isn't going to fill all of your slots alone). Next turn you likely have 0/1 frost orbs, depending on whether you have the frost core or not and 4-6 orb slots. with other frost orb cards being played afterwards).

Now, that's the best case scenario for a turn 1 encounter, barring getting every card you'd need to keep the chain going, which isn't the most likely case (cards being turbo, aggregate, skim, cool headed, etc. Act 3, nearly any encounter will bust through it easily and deal a significant amount of damage. Act 2, while still blocking a significant amount of damage on turn one, there are many that it won't be able to fully negate.

Act 1, those are very significant numbers and will block nearly anything that isn't a beefed up gremlin nob. (Fission, defrag and chill being assumed automatically for turn 1) So if there were 3 enemies, you could have 18 block from fission, 21 if defrag is upgraded and 24 if you lucked out and got a data disk. It takes 3 or more energy and lucky relic drops/a lucky draw to get the cards you need to set up initially.
