How to Play with Orochi in All-Star Awakening Introduction to the Orochi Character in All-Star Awakening

In the King of Fighters series, the recent All-Star Awakening has been a game that many players have personally participated in. As the final boss of King of Fighters '97, Orochi, with its unparalleled strength, has maintained a position of the strongest throughout the entire King of Fighters series. How to play Orochi in All-Star Awakening is something everyone must understand. A long time ago, this character was one that all challengers feared, and in this production, you can see his latest appearance.

Orochi is accurately positioned as an offensive role in the game, being the undisputed core of firepower in the team. Its rage skill, Chaos, does not require complex setups or techniques; it relies solely on its immense power to inflict high energy damage on all enemies. When Orochi enters rage mode, its attacks become highly targeted, focusing its terrifying firepower on the enemy with the highest health, typically the front-line tank. With its output capability, Orochi's attacks directly target the core vulnerabilities of the enemy's defense.

During battles, Orochi's powerful energy fluctuations are quite formidable, and no enemy can escape them. However, to activate Orochi's strong bond effect, the conditions are somewhat strict: two other SSR quality companions must be deployed simultaneously. But once these conditions are met, the benefits are enormous. Upon activating the bond, Orochi immediately gains 400 rage, meaning it can release a powerful rage skill at the start of the battle, directly assaulting the enemy.

Starting from the second round, Orochi also continuously regenerates rage each turn, ensuring that it can frequently use skills in subsequent battles. However, Orochi's skills have their unique style, lacking special status effects and relying entirely on pure, powerful output to suppress opponents. Although this reduces some flexibility in combat strategy, this straightforward fighting method, without fancy tricks, showcases Orochi's inherent strength.

Orochi's exclusive weapon, Divine Will, when equipped, increases Orochi's rage cap and significantly boosts rage regeneration efficiency. This allows Orochi to accumulate rage faster. The effect of this exclusive weapon, combined with Orochi's bond effect, further accelerates the frequency of Orochi's skill releases. Additionally, as the exclusive weapon is upgraded, it adds a damage reduction effect, greatly enhancing Orochi's survivability. Already a terrifying force, Orochi becomes even harder to counter after gaining damage reduction.

In terms of team composition, there are multiple options to maximize Orochi's power. A recommended stable and survival-oriented lineup includes Orochi + Kyo Kusanagi + Iori Yagami + Charlotte + Mary Ryan + Shermy. This lineup focuses on the team's stability and survivability, with each character working together. Deploying Mary and Charlotte together activates their bond, providing beneficial status to all teammates. Shermy's damage-sharing skill provides an additional layer of protection for Orochi, effectively reducing the risk of Orochi being focused and taken out early in the battle. Kyo Kusanagi and Orochi share the main damage-dealing role, while Iori Yagami handles the cleanup of weakened enemies after an AOE attack.

Another recommended luxurious and versatile lineup is Orochi + Omega Rugal + Goenitz + Chizuru Kagura + Terry Bogard + Rugal. This lineup is a top-tier configuration in the game, with each character being exceptionally powerful. Orochi and Omega Rugal form a terrifying AOE damage pairing, capable of instantly clearing large numbers of enemies in group battles. Goenitz, with his excellent mobility and finisher ability, delivers critical hits to low-health enemies. Chizuru Kagura enhances the team's damage, Terry ensures rapid rage accumulation, and Rugal shares damage, making this a very strong lineup.

Now that you understand Orochi's strength and the types of lineups it can form, if you happen to get Orochi in the game, you can apply the strategies discussed in this guide to make the most of him.
