A New Mythic Approaches - Voice of Orpheus

YASSSSSS I love the Orpheus love!

I am sad to report that I am a compulsive player that plays waaaaaay too much , and yet, I have still not faced Voice in PvP.
It’s like it does not exist.
Come on people , send him to the front!

That’s because, quite frankly, the AI and Voice are the absolute worst team ever. The AI is very cast-happy and rarely sits on spells on any kind, which is bad when Voice needs Mana on the rest of the team to deal any amount of acceptable damage. And the AI is also really, really bad at deciding on targets. My team works really, really well when I play it, but when I let the AI handle it, it’s like the worst team in Krystara.

I honestly only give the AI teams with either set targetting, random targetting or AoE. When the AI has to decide targets for both buffs and attacks, the wrong troop will be chosen 99% of the time. (This, of course, only applies to my defense team. When I play against the AI, the AI always chooses 99% right. Always. To balance out the 99% choosing wrong in my defense team or something.)

Funny. But I don’t think you’ll find many agreeing with you any time soon that VoO is better than Infernus… though VoO is definitely useful given Mab is in 90% or enemy teams right now… but I never cast his spell…

Why does it have to be one or the other, use both and tell your mana generating troops to work for their money! Positive sideffect, Voice actually does some decent damage with so many manasponges in the team :wink:

…

Ok decent might be a bit of an overstatement.

Okay, lemme phrase it differently, then. For one, I don’t think Infernus is as OP as people claim. He’s very good, but he’s random and doesn’t always hit the troops I need him to hit. I find other mythics like Worldbreaker and Yasmine more reliable. The matches with Infernus are fast, but they are fast in either direction… I win fast or I lose fast - both outcomes usually overwhelmingly so.
My Infernus is maybe broken, though? I think he only self-looped once or twice in all the matches I tried him out in (quite many; two weeks of leveling to PVP tier 1 and some GW matches on top).

Now, Infernus’ damage is far superior to VoO’s damage… but VoO also fits my playing style better. Truth is, I don’t like exploders. They make every match fast, but they also make every match incredibly random. Clearing the board with exploders can easily give the enemy several 4-matches, resulting in a loss. So I’m someone who, in PVP, very much prefers tight board control. And yes, I am aware VoO needs an exploder to function. But it’s far less messy to do Khorvash/Ragnagord/Ysabelle/Voice (though I still wish I could switch Valk back in for Ragnagord, but alas) than it is to do Gorgotha/Ragnagord/Infernus/Worldbreaker or something ilke that. I just don’t like these exploder guys. I always seem to get bad RNG with exploding gems.

Also the status effects hurt my eyes. Infernus inflicts the most eyecaner-giving one, Voice clears them all up. :stuck_out_tongue: I like Voice.

(I am still happy to have Infernus, though. I just don’t use him outside of GW anymore now.)

I like VoO. I want to like him more. He really needs to hit harder. A nice control build is HellcatAlchemistTitaniaVoO which is great against these bloody TrollNyx builds that are everywhere. Even so, VoO is bringing his cleanse trait, I almost never cast his spell even though he sits there full.

He is my “i wish” troop. usually when i face mab that freeze and block me from getting extra turn, “i wish” i have orpheus in the team to cleanse that. although, i know my team can’t fit him for that purpose after a tank, mana generator, dps and event troop combo.

Has anyone made any ace teams with him yet? I got him and still haven’t found a great place to put him. Everytime I think of putting him somewhere, i go “yeah, but Infernus is better” and on the sidelines he sits…

Any decent teams with Orpheus that don’t require other mythics or fully traited troops. I play on mobile and Xbox one. The only mythic I have is Orpheus. I want to use Orpheus on the Xbox one, but don’t have other mythics and only at level 70. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

He ain’t great at early game if you ask me. I would avoid using him if you don’t have other troops trained that can get the best out of him.

Don’t have dawn bringer yet unfortunately. Too much of a soul sink for me to take in right now, lol
