So I would first like to say that the alternate animation for this NP is hilarious. And part of me wants to be put into a chokehold by Artemis. Orion doesn’t really know what he has right in front of him.

Staying on topic, this NP may not be a damaging NP, but it’s damn good. The effects can effectively be categorized into two sections, the things you care about:

30% Base attack buff for 3 turns

100% critical damage up buff for 3 turns that scales on Overcharge

10 stars generated per turn for 3 turns

And the stuff you might care about, the Invincible Pierce and Debuff Immunity for 3 turns.

Needless to say, this NP is an obscene offensive buff for Orion. With all of his skill active at the same time, he’ll have +112% critical damage, +50% attack up, +50% Buster up and +50% anti-Demon/Beast damage for a turn. And most of those buffs are 3 turns.

However, the Invincible Pierce and Debuff Immunity are still very useful effects, negating many gimmicks you’ll find for difficult content and also compensating for his lack of magic resistance. We can tick that weakness off, too.

Speaking of negating weaknesses, the 10 stars per turn on this NP essentially gives him a self-sufficient star supply, too. Does this goliath of a man have, well, ANY weakness?

Scorpions, apparently.

That aside, this NP also has some traits that makes it very scary to use in the right teams - you can put it at the end of a double Merlin NP chain for a total of +150% critical damage up instead (or +200%, if you’re a mad lad and use the new 3-time Overcharge boost CE, which is really strong, by the way), and its nature as an Arts NP means pretty much any brave chain Orion does following it provides him with a good sum of gauge, as shown earlier.

All I’ll say is I’m envious of whoever on this planet (let’s be real, they’re a Japanese whale) has NP5 Orion - that 50% attack buff must be delicious.

So he gets hugged by Artemis and becomes god of crits and destroyer of worlds. Sounds fair.
