Genshin Impact: Ororon Character Quick Guide

Ororon is an off-field DPS character who can harness Electro-Charged reactions and teammates' Nightsoul-aligned attacks to deal continuous Electro DMG.

His Elemental Skill can bounce between enemies, dealing DMG, while his Elemental Burst continuously taunts and attacks nearby opponents.

In addition, under certain conditions, when enemies take Electro-Charged DMG or other characters use Nightsoul-aligned attacks, Ororon's Passive Talent allows him to deal Electro DMG to up to 4 nearby enemies.

This guide is based on the Community Character Builds by the Genshin Helper Team.

Night Realm's Gift Passive: Flowing Fog, Spritely Shadows

While in an area with Phlogiston Mechanics within Natlan, he can use Nightsoul Transmission: Ororon. When the active character is currently in the air, the following will trigger when switching to Ororon: Ororon will leap up high. Nightsoul Transmission can be triggered once every 10s by your party.

Holding Aiming Mode will cause Ororon to enter the "Spiritspeaker" state, which will allow him to interact with "Nightspirit Graffiti" and "Nightspirit Sigils," extracting information and power from them. The rules for interacting with these objects follow the same rules as those governing Iktomisaurus interactions.

Additionally, holding the jump button will cause Ororon to consume 75 Stamina and leap. In areas within Natlan where Phlogiston mechanics are present, Ororon will prioritize consuming 5 Phlogiston to leap to a height higher still.
When in the air, Ororon can Hold his Normal Attack to consume Phlogiston or Stamina and enter Aiming Mode.


Passive Talent: The Art of Skinchanging

Increases gliding SPD for your own party members by 15%.
Not stackable with Passive Talents that provide the exact same effects.


TLDR / Rotation

Ororon focuses on dealing damage off-field with his Elemental Burst. Beside from Burst, His A1 can also allow him to deal off-field damage whenever an enemy trakes Electro-Charged damage or when the active character deals Nightsoul-aligned damage, with a cooldown of 1.8 seconds.
With his A4 talent, he's able to give up to 9 flat energy per rotation after using his Elemental Skill, whenever the active character uses a Normal Attack, Charged Attack, or Plunging Attack. Ororon will also gain this energy if he is off-field.
