Since its launch, Genshin Impact has introduced numerous 4-star characters, but many of them are underwhelming, leading players to overlook their potential. However, a select few 4-star units stand out, and Ororon, introduced in version 5.2, is one of those stronger characters.
Ororon is a 4-star Electro Bow user, versatile enough to fit into various team compositions thanks to his elemental skills. If you appreciate this 4-star character and wish to add him to your roster, here’s a comprehensive guide on how to build him effectively.
Top Builds for Ororon
Before delving into specific builds, let’s explore some features of Ororon’s kit that make him both effective and enjoyable to play:
-
Extended Flight: When paired with Chasca in Natlan, Ororon can remain airborne for extended periods. While this ability is primarily effective in Natlan, it allows players to traverse long distances without touching the ground.
-
Electro Application: Ororon excels at applying Electro, making him a valuable addition to Dendro teams.
-
Team Benefits: He boosts the gliding speed of all party members by 15% and can restore energy to all team members using his Aspect Catalyst passive.
- Elemental Damage Boost: When equipped with the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City artifact, Ororon grants a significant 40% elemental damage increase to the whole team.
Ororon’s Electro capabilities, combined with the benefits of the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, allow him to replace characters like Kuki Shinobu and Fischl. Nonetheless, keep in mind that he functions best as a sub-DPS character and cannot match the damage output of 5-star main DPS units.
Ororon Electro-Charge Build
| Artifact Set | Weapons |
|---|---|
| Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City | Elegy of the End, Favonius Warbow |
In this role, Ororon can significantly contribute to damage output. His passive ability enhances his personal Electro damage whenever a team member triggers an Electro-Charged reaction nearby. Additionally, he benefits from the buffs provided by the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City, raising his Electro damage by around 40%. To maximize his effectiveness, use his Ultimate ability after activating his Elemental Skill.
Among his weapon choices, Elegy of the End is optimal due to the boosts in Elemental Mastery, ATK, and Energy Recharge that enhance his reaction damage. For players looking for a free-to-play option, Favonius Warbow effectively supports energy recharge, allowing him to use his ultimate ability more freely.
Note: Ensure you manage Ororon’s Energy levels since his Ultimate has a narrow Area of Effect (AoE). Characters like Kazuha or Venti can help group enemies together for better damage.
Ororon Hyperbloom Build
| Artifact Set | Weapons |
|---|---|
| Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City | Elegy of the End, Favonius Warbow, Chain Breaker |
Ororon also fits effectively into Hyperbloom teams due to his quick Electro application. However, activating Dendro reactions requires precise timing, making it crucial that enemies are first affected by Electro Charged abilities to maximize damage potential.
The weapon choices remain consistent, as Elemental Mastery buffs from Elegy of the End are beneficial for facilitating Hyperbloom reactions. The Chain Breaker, a craftable bow from Natlan, offers good ATK and Elemental Mastery, which complements Ororon’s skills.
Artifact Priorities for Ororon
Ororon uses the same artifact set for both builds, but the focus on individual stats will depend on your approach to gameplay. Here’s a breakdown of artifact stats to prioritize based on the specific build you are using:
Electro-Charge Stat Priority
| Artifact Type | Main Stat Priority | Sub Stat Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Flower | HP | Crit Rate > Crit DMG > Elemental Mastery |
| Feather | ATK | Crit Rate > Crit DMG > Elemental Mastery |
| Sands | ATK% | Crit Rate > Crit DMG > Energy Recharge |
| Goblet | Electro DMG Bonus | Crit Rate > Crit DMG > Energy Recharge |
| Circlet | Crit DMG | Crit Rate > Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge |
Hyperbloom Stat Priority
| Artifact Type | Main Stat Priority | Sub Stat Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Flower | HP | Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge |
| Feather | ATK | Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge |
| Sands | Elemental Mastery | Energy Recharge > ATK% |
| Goblet | Elemental Mastery | Energy Recharge > ATK% |
| Circlet | Elemental Mastery | Energy Recharge > ATK% |
Overview of Ororon’s Abilities
Ororon’s kit may appear complex, so here’s a summary of how to utilize his abilities most effectively:
-
Passive Talent – Nightshade Synthesia: Gains 40 Nightsoul points when a team member activates a Nightsoul Burst. He also collects 5 Nightsoul points whenever a party member strikes an opponent with Electro or Hydro.
-
Hypersense Activation: When a character triggers an Electro-Charged reaction, Ororon enters the Nightsoul Blessing state, gaining a 160% Electro DMG bonus based on his ATK stats. It’s crucial to create these reactions consistently while he is in play.
- Reaction Management: Ideally, trigger necessary reactions, switch to Ororon, deploy abilities, and then activate the Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City buff. Afterward, you can swap to your main DPS or restart the rotation for continued damage output.
When planning his skill enhancements, prioritize Elemental Skill over Elemental Burst, as the Normal Attack is less impactful.
With the right team composition and build strategy, Ororon can become a powerful asset in your Genshin Impact journey.
