Best builds for Oree in Temtem Swarm

We fear Roi allows players to choose from several different Tems to play as while holding off huge swarms of enemies. While only Plattypet and Smazee are initially available, the current release features seven different Tems for players to choose from once unlocked.

A Tem you can unlock after defeating his first main boss We fear Roi it's Oree. This digital Tem is an expert in AOE attacks and comes with the ability to run away right at the start of a round. This makes him a fairly mobile fighter, though his starting technique can make it difficult to hit the later parts of the round without careful planning. This guide will discuss Oree's playstyle, what to prioritize at the start of a round, and how to set up all of Oree's powerful synergies.

Best skills for Oree in Temtem Swarm

Oree's skill tree offers plenty of ways to make his attacks more deadly and improve the effectiveness of his Dash. You'll want to learn the following skills first to make things easier:

• Cooldown Technique: This reduces the time between triggering techniques, allowing you to spam large area attacks like Turbo Attack and Fire Tornado with surprising speed.
• Area: Simple and straightforward, this increases the area your techniques affect, making it easier to decimate entire hordes of Tems.
• Projectile: This gives you an extra projectile on all attacks, which includes Fire Tornado and Data Corruption, making it a great way to double your damage.
• Range: This increases the pickup range for any object on the ground, which is useful for helping you level up without getting too close to enemies. More importantly, though, it's a prerequisite for the next skill.
• Experience Multiplier: Oree's biggest weakness is a weak early game as their data corruption attack isn't very strong and makes them vulnerable until they can level up and get more techniques. Experience Multiplier will help you quickly build up power and get the ball rolling.
• Reroll: Another simple but powerful one, this one will allow you to reroll your options when you level up, making it easier to pursue essential upgrades like Fire Tornado early on.
• Block: Similarly, Block allows you to remove a chosen item from the selection when you level up for the rest of the race, allowing you to narrow down your options to increase your chances of getting what you need.

How to build Oree in Temtem Swarm

Start of round and priorities

When starting a round with Oree, your number one priority should be to use multiple techniques. Turbo Attack and Fire Tornado are especially important here as they will help Oree take out large groups of enemies and quickly collect experience cubes. Data Burst is very valuable later, but pretty weak initially, so it's a slightly lower priority here. Oree's starting technique, Data Corruption, is great for slowing down enemies and can be manually targeted as of version 0.5, so you should use it to stop enemies from getting too close and keep them in range of your attacks more deadly. Data corruption is unfortunately very weak on its own, so updating it can wait until you have some reliable damage options to back you up.

Once you've got Turbo Attack and/or Fire Tornado going reliably, you can start picking up some gear. You should watch out for Fire Chip, Volgan Ladder and Drill. Fire Chip will increase fire damage, which is useful for Fire Tornado. Volgan Scale will increase all damage dealt, and Drill allows your projectile attacks like Data Burst to pierce through multiple targets. All three provide a vital secondary benefit once certain techniques are maxed out as well.

Once you have these three, you should look at Holster to get more projectiles from Data Corruption and Data Burst, or Kaleidogrease to increase the duration of slow fields created by Data Corruption. (Of course, once Oree has additional equipment slots unlocked, you should try to pick them both up.) The motherboard and Kusanagi are also excellent choices, with the former picking up all digital damage dealt, while the the second increases the damage dealt to bosses and mini-bosses.

SYNERGY

By removing Fire Tornado while you have a Fire Chip, you can upgrade it to Fire Tornado+, which causes all of your fire tornadoes to leave trails of flames behind, which can deal additional damage to any enemies that touch them. Similarly, maxing out Turbo Attack with a Volgan scale will allow you to upgrade it to Turbo Attack+, which causes Turbo Attacks to ignite enemies, dealing damage over time as they burn.

Data Burst +, unlocked by maximizing the data burst with a Drill equipped, will constantly fire piercing data projectiles at enemies as they approach (not unlike the Holy Wand from Vampire Survivors), causing a truly ridiculous amount of damage that can be further increased by the Baseplate item. Data Corruption+ is obtained by maxing data corruption with Kaleidogrease equipped and will cause additional projectiles to fire in all directions after creating a slow field, which can be useful for dealing some extra damage as you go.

Playstyle and overall strategy

With Oree, you'll need to play it safe at the start of a round, using your dash to dodge enemies and deal a bit of extra damage until you level up enough to really start dealing damage with your AOE techniques. Data Corruption is pretty weak in terms of raw damage, but it's great for slowing down enemies, while Oree's Ultimate Attack, Mechanical Heat, allows them to rain missiles at random places all over the screen. Use it when the swarm gets particularly large to help clear space, or activate it when doing optional defense objectives to help stem the incoming tide.

If you're working with other players, you can afford to play a little riskier and use Data Corruption to lock down angry enemies for your allies while they keep the horde away from you.
