Orianna Build Guide for Wild Rift

How to play Orianna

Orianna is a control mage champion. She is a mid-laner that uses her abilities to control a team fight, wave clear, and burst down the enemies. She excels in team fights in the mid and late game, using her ball to control the enemies and get a huge Shockwave to deal a lot of damage. She doesn't do too well in the early game as she doesn't have a lot of mobility to escape, and you need time to scale and get your core items.

Orianna can also be played in the duo lane, make sure to check the alternative build at the top of the page! With Orianna in the duo lane, you can use Orianna's early game pressure and wave clear to try and roam around the river to help your jungler. The build is the same as mid lane but can be switched up depending on the matchup.

Orianna Build Breakdown

Luden's Echo

Rabadon's Deathcap

Seraph's Embrace

Void Staff

Morello-nomicon

Ionian Boots of Lucidity - Stasis

Orianna does great with most ability power items. Her main source of damage is from all her abilities. Luden's Echo is a great first item that gives Orianna a lot of Ability Power and Ability Haste and also some Maximum Mana that can help Orianna stay in fights longer. After Luden's Echo, you want to build more Ability Power items like Rabadon's Deathcap and Void Staff so he can scale well into the late game.

With runes, we have the following:

Conqueror

Orianna uses auto-attacks and a lot of abilities to damage enemies within a short space of time. This means she can get the stacks pretty fast, which allows her to get more damage on the enemies.

Gathering Storm

Orianna is a late-game scaling AP mage. Gathering Storm helps Orianna deal more damage the later the game goes.

Nullifying Orb

Nullifying Orb is a great rune that gives Orianna a shield that absorbs incoming damage when she drops low on health. This will help you survive that little bit longer so you can escape to safety or go in for the killing blow.

Hunter - Genius

Orianna will always be involved in team fights and she will get a lot of takedowns. After every unique takedown, Orianna gets Ability Haste so she can use her abilities more often.

Flash

Barrier

For summoner spells, Flash is a must on most champions. It's a great spell to get you out of a bad situation or allows you to flash and save your ally or even maybe get a kill. The go-to 2nd spell is Barrier. With Orianna you want to stay back and barrier helps you stay alive when being jumped on by the enemy team. The most important thing to note with this summoner spell is that it does not last a long time so you need to make sure you use it when you are about to take damage.

Early Game

Orianna is a champion that needs time to get her core items and get levels to scale up into the late game. During the laning phase, the best thing you can do is stack your Archangel's Staff as fast as possible. This means using your abilities to clear the wave and poke down the enemy. Pushing the wave also benefits Orianna because this means that the enemy mid-lane doesn't have an opportunity to engage.

Late Game

The later the game goes, the stronger Orianna becomes. You want to stay with your team at all times and try not to get caught out by yourself. You don't do well at all in a 1 vs 1 situation. You can use your Dissonance to speed up your allies or slow down enemies. You can also use Protect to shield your allies and get your ball in a better position so you can get a huge Shockwave to change a team fight.

Conclusion

If you want a champion that uses her abilities to control team fights and can farm and push waves pretty safely in the mid lane then Orianna is a perfect champion for you.
