| Start of Stage 3 | 3-cost | 3 |

Loot delivery & Bonus Gift
Immediate: Emblem becomes an orb if the item bench is full; champion if the unit bench is full. Later: 1 champion per stage, orb only if the unit bench is full.
The loot-source list does not record its build. Orb delivery alone does not verify a Bonus Gift trigger.
