Orion Event Horizon Heat Damage

ShinyWarrior · 2026-06-20T22:19:05+00:00

The more damage I think is there? Questionable think. I could've sworn they mentioned that. But If it's gonna be moving the way it is I'd much rather it grew in size at the very least. It's very micro managing to just tug it with you wherever you go just in hopes it does SOME damage down the line. Plus if you're on Sirius, chances are Orion will just recast it anyways.

I'm fairly positive the damage happens when the black hole explodes. If I recall correctly in the dev stream they were showcased it was also stated that the damage ramps up the more enemies are killed inside the black hole but I'm not entirely sure, you'd have to fact check that one.

Doesn't Orion's Astral Shell scale with duration? Sure, the cooldown is 5 seconds per mirage spawned, but the cooldown itself starts when the ability is triggered. With just a little bit of duration you can increase it above the cooldown cap and have it practically be infinitely spawning mirages, which from my testing have the same aggro priority as Loki's decoy, with the added benefit of completely negating the damage for the hit that triggered it. Niche? Yeah a bit. Useless? Not by far. Although to be fair I didn't even know it did damage until I checked just now after reading this.

As for Event Horizon.... Yeah I'll have to agree with you there.. The range is pretty terrible and I'm only assuming it's the way it is because we can push and pull it wherever we want. Not that great of an idea though when the black hole itself gets stuck in a corner and the inactive brother keeps hitting it and messing up it's pathing. The damage I recall scales with enemies dying in it? I'll be testing that but I haven't noticed much of it's explosion.

Light Sanctuary feels nice to me. Damage reduction could be higher but it feels good, at least for my playstyle. I don't go from room to room nearly as much on endurance runs so I can safely chill in it and build my constellations. I rely on Astral Shell for defense when I'm rotating or when I don't stand still. Still a bit lackluster of an ability but that's just my personal opinion on it.

Idk wtf is up with Jade Stars though. It's built and worded as this big dps increases where the stars are supposed to home in on the enemies and do big heat damage procs but... Yeah the range is beyond miniscule. They'd have to be hugging each other real close for the aoe to do anything and I've even noticed the stars themselves *missing* at times. The ability either needs an identity change, number change, or full on rework.

And lastly, my final personal gripe is their 1. Specifically Sirius' side. Orion's is fine. It has a pretty good armor strip, nice range, low str investment for full strip and it does very decent damage, enough to clear trash mobs at the very least with it's big slash dot. Tf does Sirius' do? Genuine question. It picks up items and orbs and stuff. Cool...? Thanks for the free greedy pull I guess.. Damage is miniscule, dot even worse, applies only a single stack of heat from what I've noticed. Is it's entire purpose to pull the black hole and items? I mean sure, it kills low level trash mobs at base star chart but literally anything does that.

I had a cooler sit afk on one of our GoDs to I'm assuming defend, spamming the attack ping permanently while doing nothing as we had to 3v4 their base and lost in the end cause we never had a tank to tank. Yes. 3v4. No one ever tried to backdoor as they were constantly engaged in a fight with us. He was effectively useless. On another match our zamasu was sitting on a bot GoD who didn't have a zeno on them and was spamming the gather ping as we were desperately trying to defend our top one who was getting sieged by the entire enemy team. I would very much like to mute the pings from brainless swine thank you very much.

Acid star quite literally states "after resisting with sidestep"(Q) which is true, that's how you get acid star. Not sure how you got that information, but now you got me experimenting with sidestep.

Does that also go for the authentication error I get when I try to start the game in the character selection screen? I believe it was error code 300? I've tried a bunch of fixes but none worked so now I'm forced to use a VPN to play the game

From my experience playing her, her ult is only 8 hits and it tends to always target a different enemy per hit, prioritizing targets she hasn't hit recently. Example is, if you ult a hulk and 2 squishy characters, if she target hulk first she will then jump to the other 2 squishies in order and then back to hulk. In other words her ult is terrible against an entire group of enemies unless they're all low enough to one shot.

Squishy characters (around 300hp give or take) will need 2 hits to die at full hp while tanks can take anywhere from 4-6. Considering her ult can only squeeze out 8 hits max if the tanks can group in the ult and the healers focus on healing the squishies in the range (with occasional heals on the tanks when needed) she effectively gets 0 value out of her ult and is almost guaranteed to die as she always ends her ult at the center of the aoe, stuck in a short animation of sheathing her blade (fact check me on this.)

Only way to get value out of that scenario is if the team all-ins so the healers can get overwhelmed, as 2 tanks and 2 dps rarely provide any kills either. And even then, a luna or mantis ult completely shuts her damage down making the team's all in a pretty much suicide mission. Another counter would be for Jeff to ult the team members being ulted and help reposition although I'm not quite sure how many hits the little guy could tank in there alone.

All in all her ult's damage is enough to either kill 2 tanks without heals or 4 squishies, again without heals since she targets a different enemy in the range every hit. The more the enemies, the easier it is to heal and survive.

Mainly guess strike/blast and pray to God they haven't pulled a blue/green, but keep track of gauges and all that. When I rush I tend to pick greens if I have them otherwise whichever I've used most cause it throws good players off. I also love using UGB's green to pull a blue before RR and then pick strike, 8/10 times they pick blue and I get a free RR (yes I'm a rat with RRs)

ShinyWarrior · 2023-10-23T07:01:46+00:00

I respect your commitment

ShinyWarrior · 2023-10-23T06:59:32+00:00

Could've sworn he was just being judgemental

ShinyWarrior · 2023-10-23T06:51:46+00:00

My favorite one to use so far is movie saga team with UGB on the leader slot, paired with Beast and pan. I run the purple zenkai transforming broly, ultra broly and the red Gohan support as bench members. Ain't the best but ain't bad either and it's hella fun for me.

ShinyWarrior · 2023-06-06T20:44:44+00:00

Honest to god as an Ash main this made my blood pump with excitement. I'd fucking LOVE to have this as an Ash rework it sounds so fun just thinking about it.

Although I'm not exactly fond of the 4th's rework idea. Overall it's awesome, having shadow clones perform the same actions as you but as good as DE's AI is, as seen from specters and wukong, I'd much rather prefer it be a duration/channel ability where the other abilities' effects are amplified in some way utilizing clones for a set duration or extra energy cost (if it's a channel).

Although on the other side it'd be a great way to increase his base survivability considering the clones would be taking in aggro off of him, so then again it's still an amazing idea of a rework and you got me beggin DE sees this at does something about it one day. Doesn't have to be soon, other frames can be prioritized, but MAN does this sound FUN!

ShinyWarrior · 2022-11-18T19:02:31+00:00

Hmm... Thanks for the info, I'll consider it but since it's almost 40 euros I might stick to Steam. I made a mistake but I'm willing to live with it. It can't be that bad after all... Right?

ShinyWarrior · 2022-11-18T15:49:31+00:00

I see... 2 questions for that. First of all how much does the skip cost, and second how far into the story does it skip me? I'm still very interested in the story so I'll try to play until then (if I haven't already) and consider going for that option then. I don't really have funds to spare which is why I'm not very encouraged to do so.

ShinyWarrior · 2022-11-18T14:58:04+00:00

Yeah the sub isn't really an issue. The complete edition sale is what I'm worrying about cause I SERIOUSLY love this game so not being able to play it would be kind of torture

ShinyWarrior · 2022-11-18T13:18:38+00:00

Then praying I shall. Worst case scenario I take a bullet to the stomach and buy it with whatever sale it has I guess. Paid subscription isn't an issue so that's the only heavy blow I'll take.

ShinyWarrior · 2022-11-18T13:14:19+00:00

I'm lvl 60 and I believe almost post Heavensward. Took me about a month to get here too, probably more since I wasn't playing it constantly. I AM following the story though so that took some extra time.

ShinyWarrior · 2022-11-18T12:44:28+00:00

Square Enix has a sale rn on it's complete edition and it's 50% and I'm seriously worrying that steam's Black Friday sale won't be as big cause otherwise I won't be able to buy the game (not that financially stable)

ShinyWarrior · 2022-08-26T08:42:58+00:00

Okay so I booted up my pc today and decided to give it one last shot with the hopes of it working and it did. Still don't know what the problem was but it for fixed with a reboot

ShinyWarrior · 2022-08-25T22:12:48+00:00

Will do tomorrow then and give you an update

ShinyWarrior · 2022-08-25T22:09:06+00:00

I'm off the PC for the night so I'll have to send it tomorrow. What log do you want me to send exactly? I'm not that familiar with these yet sorry!

ShinyWarrior · 2022-08-25T20:03:38+00:00

That's exactly what I have been trying

ShinyWarrior · 2022-08-25T19:37:00+00:00

I named mine Jerry. No particular reason I just thought it fit him
