Orphea Build Guide “I won't miss your face.”

Orphea is an odd caster with above-average survivability and high damage output potential but limited access to crowd control. Given that all of Orphea's Abilities have a cast time or delay, they can all be avoided by prepared opponents... unless you are better prepared.

• Each enemy Hero hit by Overflowing Chaos generates one Chaos, making area hits key to improving your survivability.
• Shadow Waltz may be tempting to use on-Cooldown, but using it to avoid dangerous skillshots is paramount.
• Chomp synergises naturally with Shadow Waltz; use the latter to dash to your intended target.
• Both Dread's initial wave and eruption can hit a given target.

Note about the current Anomaly: Orphea's playstyle is affected little by the Anomaly. It does provide her with more opportunities to damage any opposing Hero attempting to collect Experience Globes, but she should not attempt to collect them by herself unless absolutely necessary.

Compared to most other casters, Orphea provides higher-than-average on-demand burst damage and decent sustained damage. On the other hand, she lacks much crowd control, making it necessary to pick her along Heroes who can provide it. As with many Heroes who provide little more than damage, Orphea's popularity depends entirely on her power level resulting from game balance. Regardless, building a team composition that aims to stay ahead of one's opponents in terms of Experience is the best way of exploiting Orphea's strength as a snowballing Hero.

Due to her reliance on crowd control, Orphea is at her best when part of a roaming group of Heroes. She can hold her own in the solo lane as well against most melee Heroes, but must be careful when rotating and may need help clearing out large Mercenary Camps.
