Today I'll be reviewing the skillbooks for Orochimaru


Orochimaru has many forms in Naruto online. The Sannin War variety is a single target nuke machine that, in a sound team, is hard to remove from battle. Orochimaru's skillbooks focus on these two roles.


Let's dive in.


Mystery: Snake Sword : Is certain to cause damage to the selected unit, will also cause the selected unit to suffer from High Float. Each time the selected unit is defeated by this skill, its cooling time will be reduced to 0 rounds.Battlefield Entrance Cooldown: 1 round Cooldown: 4 roundsChakra Consumption: 20Mystery +1: Snake Sword +1 : “Same description as above”Battlefield Entrance Cooldown: 1 round Cooldown: 3 roundsChakra Consumption: 20Mystery +2: Snake Sword +2 : “Same description as above”Battlefield Entrance Cooldown: 1 round Cooldown: 2 roundsChakra Consumption: 20

The improved cooldown on this hard hitting ability is a great qulity of life adjustment for Orochimaru. Procing this multiple times in a fight is a huge threat to your enemy's healers and dps.


GRADE: A

Standard: Snake Charmer Jutsu: Attacks the opponent’s front row and has a high chance of RepulseStandard +1: Snake Charmer Jutsu +1: Attacks the opponent’s front row and has a high chance of Repulse. This Attack does 15% more damage



15% extra nuke? Nothing too special but I'll take it.


GRADE: B


Passive 1: Cold-Blooded: Every time a unit is defeated in your Lineup, increase this unit’s Ninjutsu and Attack by 14%.*Passive 1 +1: Cold-Blooded +1: Every time a unit is defeated in your Lineup, increase this unit’s Ninjutsu and Attack by 18%.Passive 1 +2: Cold-Blooded +2: Every time a unit is defeated in your Lineup, increase this unit’s Ninjutsu and Attack by 25%.

... WOW. #Ranked*. More buffs for the Mystery nuke.


GRADE: A


Passive 2: Multiple Striking Shadow Snake: Chases and Attacks a High Floated unit to cause Knockdown and 10 Combos.Passive 2 +1: Multiple Striking Shadow Snake +1: Chases and Attacks a High Floated unit to cause Knockdown and 10 Combos. This chase can be triggered twice per round, but undergoes a 30% damage reductionPassive 2 +2: Multiple Striking Shadow Snake +2: Chases and Attacks a High Floated unit to cause Knockdown and 10 Combos. Can be triggered twice per round.

Another great skillbook. +2 takes away the 30% damage nerf to help Orochimaru extend chases, build combo and squeeze out extra dps. This has the potential to finish off foes during the combo you cause during mystery proc.

+1 GRADE: C+
+2 GRADE: B+

Passive 3: Exchange of Life: After Orochimaru is defeated, he can be revived using a Hidden Sound ninja with 50% Life, the Hidden Sound ninja with the least Life will be used.Passive 3 +1: Exchange of Life +1: “Same description”--with 60% Life, the Hidden Sound ninja with the least Life will be used.Passive 3 +2: Exchange of Life +2: “Same description”-- with 70% Life, the Hidden Sound ninja with the least Life will be used.

An Orochimaru kit isn't complete without sustain. This guy doesn't want to die and will sacrifice his Hidden Sound teammates to return to the battlefield. The +2 boost puts Orochimaru in the range of base Izagani. Note that this only works in a sound team, making this ability better suited for ranked and Matsuri. If you aren't using this with sound ninjas, skip it.


GRADE: A-


PREDICTIONS:


Orochimaru's breathrough kit focuses on synergy rather than utility. He may prove to be a worthy addition to Fire and Wind teams with his ability to build combos. I could see him excelling in ranked curse seal teams with the likes of Kidomaru, Jirobu, Kimimaru, Sasuke and Karin.


OVERALL GRADE: A


What do you think? Are you planning on saving up for him?
