In the Naruto game, Orochimaru is undoubtedly a charming and extremely powerful legendary ninja. If you are not very familiar with Orochimaru's various effects, understanding Orochimaru in the Naruto Leaf Village Expert can help you delve into each of his skills. In fact, his unique and powerful skill system brings considerable power on the battlefield. In such card games, because the character settings, in addition to the story, have some newer designs in terms of skills, you need to re-understand them.
As one of the Sannin of the Hidden Leaf, Orochimaru demonstrates a versatile fighting style with his masterful control over forbidden techniques, summoning jutsu, and snake-related ninjutsu. His active skill, Triple Rashomon, is quite effective. When this skill is activated, it deals damage to all enemies. If it hits the target, there is a 50% chance for him to add a layer of resistance effect to himself. The cooldown time for this skill is 4 turns, and it will be decisively released in the first turn of the battle. This special state of resistance is particularly wonderful; with each layer of resistance, there is a 5% increase in the anti-crit effect. If the opponent uses a high-damage skill, 5% of the damage can be directly reflected back. The maximum number of layers that can be stacked is 5, and the duration is as long as 4 turns. This way, when facing the enemy's fierce attacks, Orochimaru not only enhances his own defensive capabilities but also feeds some of the damage back to the opponent, disrupting their combat rhythm.
His passive skill, when he is attacked and injured by the enemy, has a 50% chance to apply a curse mark to the enemy. If Orochimaru is on the verge of death, he will deal a fatal blow to the character with the highest number of curse marks, causing 30% of his own health as damage, while he will be reborn with 30% of his health, and all previous curse marks on the field will be canceled. However, this can only be triggered once per battle. Additionally, the curse mark has both positive and negative effects. For each layer of the curse mark, the attack increases while defense decreases, but the percentage increase in attack is less than the decrease in defense, and the maximum number of layers that can be stacked is 10. This allows Orochimaru to weaken enemies through the curse mark and achieve a comeback at critical moments.
The passive skill White Snake Absorption is also quite impressive. When Orochimaru receives an attack that exceeds 25% of his maximum health, the excess damage will be absorbed by him. Once the total absorbed damage reaches 100% of his health value, although Orochimaru will take 30% of the absorbed damage and enter a stunned state for 2 turns, unable to act, he can effectively alleviate his survival pressure with this mechanism and sustain himself in battles. Therefore, Orochimaru is still a good choice for some late-game lineups.
The Indomitable passive skill provides Orochimaru with excellent base attribute bonuses right from the start of the battle. These bonuses include a 20% increase in defense, a 30% increase in maximum health, and a 15% increase in anti-crit ability, allowing him to have strong durability from the beginning and better handle subsequent combat challenges. In terms of team composition, there are multiple combinations to choose from. For example, the recommended lineup 1 is Orochimaru + Sasuke Uchiha + Naruto Uzumaki + Raikage + Gaara + Kakuzu. This lineup has extremely powerful overall group output, and Orochimaru, in particular, has the unique advantage of ignoring poison mechanisms, enabling him to perform stably in complex combat environments.
Sasuke Uchiha has extremely high burst damage, capable of dealing massive damage in an instant. Naruto Uzumaki, on the other hand, relies on clones for continuous output, constantly affecting the enemy's health. The recommended lineup 2 is Orochimaru + Sasuke Uchiha + Naruto Uzumaki + Raikage + Gaara + Tsunade. In this lineup, Orochimaru and Sasuke Uchiha work together to quickly defeat enemies. Raikage has the ability to reflect damage and block, effectively resisting enemy melee attacks. Gaara, as a tank, has excellent group control and shield stacking mechanisms, providing stable protection for the team.
The recommended lineup 3 is Orochimaru + Sasuke Uchiha, with an additional Raikage and Gaara for output, and finally, Tsunade as support. Tsunade's healing is very good, and she also has some group resurrection abilities, which enhance the team's survivability. Raikage's skills can increase his dual resistances and attack, and also have damage reduction effects. Paired with Gaara, they can quickly deal massive damage. Orochimaru demonstrates extremely high character strength and unique combat value in the game. Players can fully utilize his advantages by reasonably forming teams based on actual combat needs and character characteristics.
How Orochimaru performs in the Naruto Leaf Village Expert has already been introduced above, and I believe that through a deep understanding of Orochimaru and the use of lineups, players can certainly experience more fun with this character in the game. If you want a useful lineup in the early stages, Orochimaru is definitely worth trying.
