1. My thoughts on Ororon

   He continues the trend that Hoyoverse started in Fontaine: giving more prominence to under-utilized elemental reactions via general raw damage or general buffs. Ororon is the latest example, now for the electro-charged reaction. Clearly designed to be both a sub-dps and a support.

   For AOE, at C0 Ororon’s damage actually seems quite decent for a 4* character. His skill, burst, and A1 passive do not have the biggest numbers but they seem to hit for multiple times, and combined with the electro-charged reaction, your looking at good supplemental damage.

   For support, the taunt should help a little bit with crowd control, and the energy recharge mechanic from his A4 is good. However his main form of support will come from the Hero of Cinder City Artifact set (he should use any other set) to essentially give a permanent 40% boost to electro and hydro damage for himself and his whole team (with him triggering electro-charged constantly).

   Ororon is one of the few 4* characters in who has great constellations all around. He probably has one of best C1s for a 4* in Genshin Impact: As long as there are at least 2 enemies, the 2 extra bounces basically give a massive 75% damage boost to the total damage of his skill, with good bonus damage to his A1 on top of that.

   C2 gives Ororon a boost in his personal damage. Decent at 1, to amazing at if he happens to hit 4 enemies

   C4 boosting the frequency of attacks for his burst is nice. The boost in damage probably more comparable to his C3 and C5.

   C6 giving up to 30% bonus attack for the active party member and essentially doubling the damage of the initial hit of the burst is also great.

   Thanks to the benefits of his constellations, Ororon could possibly be one of the best 4* DPS characters upon his release (and assuming Hoyoverse doesn’t nerf them too much during this beta period).

   However, Ororon does seem to have one major weakness. His single target damage seems to be quite abysmal, especially in terms of his skill since it won’t bounce if there is only one enemy. This does make sense when consider how the electro-charged reaction works.

   Ayato and Raiden Shogun are the characters I feel who will benefit the most from an electro-charged team with Ororon.

   Ayato’s identity as a hybrid main/sub DPS means he is usually shafted in favored of more specialist units, but I feel he will do quite well with a Ororon electro-charged team.

   Raiden Shogun could use the team as an alternative to her Cheveruse/Overloaded teams. Basically exchanges single target/boss killing for mob killing. Also a great excuse to pair Furina with Raiden Shogun.

   Of course many other characters can be used with Ororon as well.

   In conclusion, I see Ororon roughly equal to Cheveruse in terms of overall value. Which means he will be one of the better *4 characters upon his release.

   • Well said. His kit works around Electro-charge however he doesn’t have the supportive skills like Chevreuse does on Overload team. But given how busted the Cinder City set for Natlan character support, it’s good how his kit does as it is for now and that he does not have element restriction unlike Chevreuse. Also his more of a sub-dps than a support unlike Chevreuse. One thing that I think will set him back is against single target content. I agree that so far he looks good as a 4* character and perhaps he and Iansan might have synergy in the future.

     • He is slightly worse in exchange for not having elemental restrictions. This allows for flex like kazuha or xilonen in taser teams.

   • You’re wrong and I’m right. If a character’s support is lock behind an artifact or constellations, then they are no good crap to even exist in the game.

     • i think as sub dps, he will want 5 star weapons for higher base atk, or use stringless, it increase skill dmg + EM is good for electro-charge

2. To me he looks mid, I don’t get why people say he’s great.
   He’s related to electro charge but see how Chevrolet is good in overload. We need a similar chara for this reaction, but he doesn’t buff as her, just a little. And he deals damage, so he’s kinda hybrid.
   But hybrids won’t work very well in this game…

4. Very similar to Kuki (easy off-field aoe electro application). Gives 30% attack and recover 9 energy to active hydro/electro character. You don’t need to swap to him EVER to trigger aoe electro and attack% effects (but swapping and using the elemental skill increases the number of triggers and recovers 9 energy).

   Has potential to be a good character with the roles of electro applier + buffer + off-field dps.

   I’m not sure if building him for damage or EM is better (he will probably be triggering electro-charged).

   • small clarifications to my comment: more conditional teams than Kuki – need electro-charged or nightsoul-aligned attacks. 30% attack isn’t limited to hydro/electro active char but 9 energy is.

5. Huh, his colours seemed lika a “Sonic OC” mush or blob, but knowing the colour of his effects, (if IT ACTUALLY IS bright green-ish yellow, like on a gacha art) it will be quite balanced and nice. His design is still kidna overloaded with sybolics and blue tones that dont go well together, but wfx might save it.

6. Disappointed they made this man a 4 star. I hope the reason why his beta leaks are broken is because they are deciding to turn his rarity around. He literally gathers more attention than Chasca, it’s going to be waste to waste the potential profit this man could bring. Pretty sure people are tired of female characters and him being the first of its kind is something people are ecstatic for.

8. *sorry, he’s in fact a support/sub dps character, and that makes him at least somehow useful, but still not sure he’ll ever be in your team.

9. WOO YEAH another 4* bow electro dps for no reason! Sethos (had to check to remember his name) was so successful, you know?
   But he seems to be more of overworld character with this double jumps and everything, you know.
