Skill Tree Veterancy nodes unlocked as the unit levels. Hover or focus a node for detail.

Recommended veterancy- Full Bottom Line (Recommended): Provides consistent results. The 2 ability has three quick attacks, can proc parry, has some block break, and deals very high minimum damage. - Full Top Line: The 1 ability is slow, lacks block capability, and has minimal block break, but this line snowballs better and better in blob fights.

Skills

1

Guide

Counters

  • Loses to: Block units, or units that can dodge dmg
  • Struggles vs: High mobility units
  • This unit counters: Any units with high damage reduction as they have one of the highest minmum dmg of the game, so they counter spartan, reapers,..

Playstyle

  1. 1 -> 2 Combo: Use the 1 ability, and right before the second strike occurs, use the 2 ability. This makes the 2 ability CCi for the rest of the 1 ability’s duration. Pull the unit out and repeat. The combo overcomes the 2 ability’s weakness of not animating if CC’d or dazed, and ensures damage goes through.
  2. Maximize DPS: The 1 ability phases through enemy units, allowing the 2 ability to maximize DPS while inside the enemy unit.
  3. Avoid Blob Fights: If your 1 ability is on cooldown and you have the 2 ability, engage in matchups where the enemy doesn’t have stun/daze capabilities. Avoid blob fights.
  4. Hero Engagements: The 2 ability can one-shot heroes even with a couple of models and has a short cooldown with the bottom line. Use it confidently in deathmatches.

Doctrines

Highest level you can.

Mandatory

  • Unit Damage Doctrine V
  • Epic Bloodthirsty Doctrine (lifesteal + 12% dmg, alt for sustain)

Top Pick

  • Epic Polearm Doctrine (+80 piercing dmg, +120 piercing AP)
  • Health & Resistance Doctrine (+300 HP, -5% dmg taken)
  • Epic Piercing Damage Doctrine (+90 piercing dmg)

Filler

  • Epic Leadership Doctrine
  • Defence Doctrine (+80 def, -5% dmg taken)
  • Siege Fighter Doctrine (+8% all-type dmg in sieges)

Don’t put

  • Brace Doctrines (they only affect F1/F2/F3 formation brace, which Orochi never uses)

Tips & Tricks

  • 1 Ability (Piercing Strike): Has speed modifiers that allow it to deal significant damage to charging units. Phases through enemy units regardless of type (tower shields, CCi units).
  • 2 Ability (Storm Pound): Has blocking capability, procs the parry passive. The block regenerates quickly, similar to Zweihander’s 2 ability.
  • Disarm Mechanic: All abilities have a disarm effect, preventing the enemy from attacking for a set duration. If disarmed mid-animation, the current animation completes, but the next one is halted.
  • High Minimum Damage: Both 1 and 2 abilities have high minimum damage, making them effective against high DR/armor units.
  • Weakness of 2 Ability: The activation range is short. If the unit is dazed, perma-stunned, or knocked down as the 2 ability is activated, the attack animation may be delayed or not occur.
  • 1 Ability is NOT a CC Cleanse: Keep this in mind during engagements.
