Strategy

This section needs some improvements.
You can help the Gigantic Wiki by expanding it.

Oru's unique playstyle revolves around his ability to combo between his skills – dealing high damage while also providing utility to the team in the form of crowd control or peeling away in a fight.

Oru is a bit more complicated to understand then most characters, but once known what each his abilities does, Oru is quite easy to grasp. But be careful when enemy Oru is on the field, because he is a very tricky character and has the ability to strategically turn the tables around in any game.

Tips and Tricks

• If enemies are clumped up, try spreading [LMB/RT]: JUDGMENT to as many enemy Heroes as you can, then reveal the cards with [E/RB] COSMIC POWER for a reliable AoE burst of damage.
• Plan ahead with [Q/LB] THE JOKER skill: place traps in front of you before engaging in teamfights to make it difficult for enemy melee Heroes to get to you.
• Make sure you have enough health before unleashing your FOCUS
  Special resource that is accumulated and stored throughout every match, and can be used to unleash a FOCUS ABILITY, or upgrade young creatures to powerful adults.
  Focus requires to build up FOCUS CHARGES (maximum 3) before it can be used. They can be accumulated by dealing damage to enemies, healing allies, taking damage, and sometimes after being defeated and sent to the Airship.Focus, since this very powerful skill leaves you vulnerable to ranged attacks for about 2 seconds. If you are killed before you can reveal your Death cards, your Focus will be wasted and the damage from the reveal will not be applied.
• Oru has one of the best FOCUS
  Special resource that is accumulated and stored throughout every match, and can be used to unleash a FOCUS ABILITY, or upgrade young creatures to powerful adults.
  Focus requires to build up FOCUS CHARGES (maximum 3) before it can be used. They can be accumulated by dealing damage to enemies, healing allies, taking damage, and sometimes after being defeated and sent to the Airship.Focus abilities for confirming kills, but it's utility shines through primarily for low-health targets; the rapid-fire Death cards only do 10 damage each, after the initial 40 damage card at the start. The final burst of damage is not affected by how many Death cards hit the target, so it's better to mark as many targets as possible so that the final burst can potentially confirm multiple kills.
• Conversely, if an Oru marks you with a [F,LMB/LS+RT,RT] DEATH DEALER card, and you're at low enough health for it to be fatal, you can still survive the attack if your health is at or above 50% when Oru completes the card reveal at the end.
• Know your maximum range. Oru has a shorter range in comparison to most long-range Heroes, and he doesn't have sustain options like other shorter-ranged Heroes like Xenobia or Ezren Ghal. So always be aware of your positioning and don't overextend too far.

Bugs

• [Q/LB] THE JOKER will sometimes not register that it's been selected.
• When using [F,LMB/LS+RT,RT] DEATH DEALER, the animation for the whole attack will sometimes break, leaving Oru in a near-static pose, until the ability ends.
• The skin Eternal Master does not unlock at lvl. 25; when asked to redeem, it responds with a 9999 price and Error message on an attempt.
  • The level requirement for skin unlocks are also flipped for Oru; his Eternal Master skin has a lvl. requirement of 10, while his The Void Dweller skin has a lvl. 20 requirement.
