We have a guy in our clan who's pretty... ummm... "well-funded." He gets all the toys loooong before I do, if I ever get them.
I says he "over-invested" in the Orochi. Number one complaint: "Squishy when maxed." #2: "Not much of a beacon capper."
He's struggling with loadout. He tried a few.
I suspect it's fun but a little niche-y. Food for thought. YMMV.

For some reason, every YTber likes calamities. I suspect because it's easy to aim at other Orochis with it...sort of. I think redeemers are best.

#3: He did not like Devastators. Too close for comfort. Get killed by Shells.

What? A Redeemer and a Calamity? Or you have two Orochis, one with Redeemers and one with Calamities?
I have one with devastators and I like it so far. I am gonna try it with Redeemers also.
But it is quite squishy. So far it doesn't look like a meta god the Shell is, but it is fun to play.

I feel like Orochi and Typhon are very similar bots in the sense that they are only fringe meta but in the right hands they are quite effective… I like bots like this, wish the game had more of this and less pack animals like shell and Demeter
having said that, I’ve no desire for an orochi… I’m super happy with my hangar as it stands currently

Just from my experience in dealing with them; I have noticed the ones doing well, use stealth. Maybe because they can be squishy.

When I got mine, I firstly used Devastators and they were OK, then I tried glacier and exodus but I was dying fast. Last 2 days I am using Avalanche and I rip the reds apart and stay alive for a long time doing a lot of damage, couldn't be happier!

They HIT the target, Oli s clan mate got one and maxed it out assuming it would be META. Whales are easy to catch in the dragnet, the minnows always get through, only to die a certain death soon after  |

I'm not sure exactly how the ability durations match up, but it seems sort of like a rolling Orochi would be like a stealthy Strider using all five charges one after another, right?

Orochi gets 2x 5 sec turbo-stealth mode vs 5 dashes. Probably pretty close. But... In a perfectly timed sequence, in think Orochi could theoretically get 48 seconds of stealth. 2 saved charges, Clever Survivor, 3 maxed stealth mods and recharges of ability. Not likely to occur in actual combat conditions of course, but 20+ should be doable with Clever adn a single stealth mod. Hopefully long enough for the Calvary to arrive. |
