Beige Orb- This orb enhances Duvalier's reflexes where he is quickly able to counter-attack with Mind Blast.

Red Orb- Gives Duvalier Vendetta, so he can return his pain and then some to his enemies.

Tan Orb- To improve his skills with a knife, tan orbs boost Duvalier's strength.

Here's the thing, Duvalier doesn't use strength, in fact, for Duvalier, strength isn't even a stat.

The Beige and Red orb are good ideas.

The twitter says that Duvalier will learn Knife during a side quest.  This means that Duvalier will have very low strength when he gains knife, so the Tan Orb will make up for it.

I'll go for the Tan Orb too.

Grey Orb: Gives Duvalier mental-resistance

I thought the shadow-resistance was given by the shadow orb. No matter. It can be called the grey orb then.

Orbs are named after colors.

Does everyone like the grey orb idea though...

I actually like every idea on this thread so far. The Beige orb will let Duvalier have a counter-attack, which is nice because so far Griffin is the only character to get a counter. The Red Orb was already discussed with the inclusion of Vendetta in "Formulated Teammate Attack Ideas", and the Tan Orb will be very useful- however, it should not be obtainable untill after Duvalier learns Knife. Also, the Beige orb is a good idea. The only issue is that Beige and Tan might be tricky to distinguish, but thats just IMO.

I would also like to see the Crystal Orb (Physical res.) included
Currently tied with Zack for the title of Master of Light!

What about orbs that give another area attack for your affinity? Or is that a bad idea? The red orb? Since Duvalier can already learn pyro hail if you want. Different area attack? Or maybe a bigger mind blast to go with it?

An orb that lets you learn Fire Gate? Maybe; it might be a bit OP, though.

here's my idea for the orb that modifies your element.

silver orb: makes the elemental blast attack range 3 and piercing.
golden orb: adds 5 damage and increases the size of your elemental area attack
for pyro hail it would be a 5 by 5 plus sign, cyro cross would get +1 range and dark vortex and light blast would be a 5x5 blast.
While I'm here i'll just post possible methods of getting the orbs.
for the silver orb: 1v1 against a silver colored shadow beast that has your stats +5 (doesn't include orbs)
for the golden orb: team vs team of golden colored shadow beasts who all have your teams' stats +5
