Since Kumawakamaru maxes out at -8 monsters on its own, each level of Borb adds a maximum of -1 monster to this reduction. This makes up for 500*1/0.1 = 5000 zones of monster gain. You will have 2 monsters at Zone 1 without over-reduction. Since 2 monsters is the minimum allowed per zone, you can use the simple formula, 5000n, to calculate how many zones Borb will get you through before monsters per zone goes up again.
| Level | First zone with >2 mpz |
|---|---|
| 1 | 5000 |
| 2 | 10000 |
| 3 | 15000 |
| 4 | 20000 |
| 5 | 25000 |
Usage[]
Borb is the most important outsider by far. Only Borb and Kumawakamaru decrease Monsters Per Zone, which directly impacts your progress by a massive margin.
Borb's effect decreases Monsters Per Zone (MPZ) by a large margin. Once Kumawakamaru, Ancient of Shadows maxes out at 1498 levels, Borb is the only way to decrease MPZ. Maintaining 2 MPZ is important because of an effect called "Instakill." Once a player has the DPS to kill a monster in less than one frame, the death animation of the first monster for the next zone is reduced to one frame. This causes progression at 2 MPZ to be nearly 9x faster than progression at the ambient 10 MPZ. Keep in mind that the time it will take per zone is 0.5 seconds times the MPZ-1 if you're instakilling, but it will take 0.5*MPZ during timelapse (and offline), which sadly will take much longer, but the good news is timelapses carry you through a huge number of zones in the first place, only limited by your current DPS and the zone cap.
Furthermore, there are many mechanics in the game that buff the damage statistic. However, Borb and Kumawakamaru are the only two mechanics in the game that reduce the Monsters Per Zone statistic. As the amount of monsters determines the amount of time spent on a zone during progression, Monsters Per Zone is a very important statistic to minimize. As Kumawakamaru has a level cap, as mentioned above, Borb is a driving factor in progression, even though it gets weaker over levels per AS cost just like 
Rhageist, 
K'Ariqua, 
Orphalas, and 
Sen-Akhan.
Notes[]
Borb was added to the game in Patch 1.0, and originally increased the maximum transcendent primal reward. In the Patch 1.0e10 update, the transcendent primal cap was removed, and Borb's function was then changed to increase the effectiveness of Kumawakamaru.
Borb started out in patch 1.0e10 as 10% effectiveness of Kumawakamaru per level. In 1.0e11, this was changed.
Each of the outsiders that buffs an ancient is holding one of the platonic solids.
Borb is holding the sphere, which represents God.
