MiHoYo’s open-world action RPG Genshin Impact is about to get one of the biggest content updates with the release of Version 5.2. From a lot that is expected, one of the most talked-about features will be the introduction of a new four-star character named Ororon. Slated to be released in the first phase of the update, Ororon promises to bring a new playstyle and fresh narrative elements to the game.
Schedule of Release and Banner Details
Ororon will be very active in the first phase of the 5.2 update, releasing on November 20, 2024, and running until December 10, 2024. He can be gotten by the players via two running banners: Piercing Shot Crimson Wake and Conjuring Chiaroscuro, headlined respectively by the five-star characters Chasca and Lyney. Those who, for whatever reason, won’t be able to get the character during this limited time will see Ororon join the standard banner pool some time after the 5.3 update.
Gameplay Overview: An Agile Electro Bow Wielder
Ororon is an Electro-element character who wields a bow. He can be used primarily for long-range combat and precise elemental application, with enhancements in both. Ororon’s skill set showcases a highlight of emphasis on aerial combat and team synergy. Key highlights include the following:
- Elemental Skill: Ororon gains “Nightsoul points” for dealing in Hydro or Electro damage, using his Elemental Skill, and having certain reactions happen. Those points allow him to enter a state of Hypersense, amplifying the Electro damage dealt by allies.
- Elemental Blast: Deploys a Supersonic Oculus that taunts and applies waves of Electro damage, giving a great result for crowd control.
- Passive Skill: If Ororon is in the lineup, the gliding speed of all party members will be increased.
Moreover, Ororon’s one-of-a-kind air mechanics allow him to perform mid-air attacks and even enhance his traversal with his rocket-jump skill.
Story and Character Lore
Oronon hails from Natlan and is a part of the highly secretive tribe of the Masters of the Night-Wind. His past is really shrouded with mystery: as a child, he had been abandoned and he experienced an unhappy event-an attempt to repair Ley Lines of Natlan-ended in failure. The process left him shattered but determined, making him all the more interesting as a character.
Brooding in demeanor and dedicated to his tribe, Ororon pushes the meaning of “Bidii” to its limits. His narrative is supposed to expand the lore of Natlan, offering players rich narrative content to explore.
What can really set Orono as a potentially strong support character would be his capability to amplify Electro damage and break formations. Being hydro and pyro-compatible, he can fit into quite a number of teams focused on triggering high-damage elemental reactions like Overloaded and Electro-Charged.
With Orono’s arrival in Genshin Impact, players will have the opportunity to experience an entirely new style of play and an elaborately designed backstory, adding further depth to the lore. His flying capabilities with a utility-based kit will surely please players who enjoy strategic team compositions and dynamic fighting styles. Mark your calendar for November 20, 2024, and get this exciting addition to your roster during the 5.2 update banners.
