What’s the best Ororon build?
Ororon is a four-star character who uses a bow and the electro element in Genshin Impact.

| Element | Electro |
| Weapon | Bow |
| Best weapon | Elegy for the End |
| Substitute weapons | Alley Hunter, The Stringless |
| Best artifact set | Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City |
| Artifact substitutes | Golden Troupe, Thundering Fury |
| Main stats | Sands: Energy recharge Goblet: Electro damage bonus Circlet: Crit rate/damage |
| Sub-stats | Crit rate, crit damage, energy recharge, elemental mastery |
Ororon holds an electro vision, and uses a bow as a weapon. Ororon is interesting as his kit pertains to the electro-charged reaction between hydro and electro. He also has a handy skill that increases gliding speed in the overworld.
When enemies take damage from electro-charged reactions, or party members deal Nightsoul damage, Ororon can enter the Nightsoul Blessing state and trigger the Hypersense effect. This deals electro damage. He doesn’t need to be on field for this to trigger.
During his burst, Ororon summons a Supersonic Oculus which taunts enemies close by. Once in the range of the Oculus, they take damage from soundwaves generated by it. Ororon fills his Nightsoul Points when other teammates unleash hydro and electro attacks after he’s used his elemental skill.
He also gains Nightsoul Points when other party members trigger Nightsoul Bursts – however, outside of Xilonen, there currently aren’t any other viable teammates to do this just yet. While you can use Mualani with him, she prefers a vape team over electro.
As for what teammates we recommend for him, here’s a list of options:
- Hydro –
- Ayato, Furina, Barbara, Xingqiu, Yelan
- Electro –
- Raiden Shogun, Fischl, Kuki, Cyno, Keqing
