Review

Yamata no Orochi is a pure DPS employee who has a unique passive - she will deploy an orb (that lasts for 5 seconds) after a certain number of basic attacks, and this orb will deal the same amount of damage as her basic attacks. With her Alternium Reactor equipped, the orb will be deployed after just 9 hits, and it will also deal 50% additional damage. This makes Orochi a good pick for a sustained DPS option, especially against a single target with a high a large HP pool e.g. raid bosses.

Her range is also decently long, allowing her to avoid getting hit by melee attacks in Lvl 130+ Britra raids.

Unfortunately, sustained DPS output is her only strength. Both her special and ultimate skills do not do anything noteworthy (and will actually result in a drop to her DPS output), and are useless in both PVE and PVP. This makes her only good in PVE, because sustained DPS output on a single target is not exactly needed in PVP.

Pros & Cons
Pros

- good single target damage

Cons

- Special and ultimate skills are not impactful

- Other characters easily bring more utility and more damage than her
