kel bomb my beloved

Back when I was a new to Omori, I mostly spammed angry Aubrey headbutts in fights in my playthroughs. Since she’s the supposed fighter. It got the job done but it was slow. Later on I noticed how fucking overpowered Kel is. He ends fights way too fast. My most effective set up is: Aubrey pep talks Kel. Kel flexes. Hero uses spicy food on enemy Kel run and gun. Omori’s a Jack of all trades who does whatever is convenient.

Fun fact: Hero heals more hp to allies who are more happy (it means Snack time can heal manic Omori for 100%, ecstatic Kel and Aubrey for like 80%) and less to allies who are more angry Edited. I was told by @poatatoooo that heal "buff" happens if Hero has an emotional advantage over a party member.

Hello, this was a very interesting video! I'm an Omori challenge runner with lots and lots of experience, and while I agree with a large portion of this, I figured I'd mention some mistakes, as well as my opinion on some of these skills. In general: I see you discuss emotions based on effectiveness on each of the characters, while this plays a role, it is completely offset by the power of emotion advantage as a whole. It is much better to make your entire team a single emotion, with the foe being the emotion weak to your party's! Not only do you take less damage, but you will straight up deal 50% more damage, this damage multiplier only needs you to feel the first tier of the emotion, higher tiers will only help you take less damage. So instead, it becomes a question of: whats the best teamwide emotion to use against this enemy/boss? Afterwards, you can build your party members around the specific emotion you will be using. It may not be the most effective on a single character, but as a team, making everyone be able to enjoy the advantages easily offsets that difference! I wholeheartedly agree that applying sad on foes is terrible for the reasons you've mentioned. This unfortunately means party angry strats are much less usable, but they work for unbread twins and the fear bosses. Otherwise, happy strats are best offensively, sad strats are best defensively. OMORI Sad Poem: agreed, tho I'd like to add that it's very important because the game doesnt even give you a chance to buy poetry books until sweetheart's castle! unlike present and sparklers which you can buy immediately at the start of the game. Hack Away: This skill is deceptively powerful, even without the angry boost. Obtained at level 10, no skill can even compete with the damage output of hack away until Aubrey's beatdown at level 27 (unless of course you do run n gun nukes). I'd say this skill is 4.5-5 stars for how long it stays relevant, the 30 juice cost is warranted for a skill of this power. Sure you can hardly use it early on, but the fact that the game even gives you this option is great. The main downside is unreliable targeting, but this isn't a problem against bosses, you wouldn't really spend 30 juice on regular encounters anyways. Shun: Unbread twins have 1 defence so it is pointless to use it against them. And with that... shun is unfortunately barely usable. -3 defence might be powerful but youd have to turn the enemy sad, and its a waste of turns if you turn the enemy back to another emotion. Spending 3 actions to debuff defence by 3 this way is not efficient, you could use power hit 3 times (saves skill slots too) or use those turns to deal even more damage. Maybe 2 stars? Exploit: for the same juice cost as hack away, it deals noticeably less damage, and obtained much later. Even raw hack away would deal more damage to a single foe if you do the combo with curveball. I'd rank it 1 star. I agree with you on fear skills, tho I'd like to mention that they debuff by 3 stages! And I'd personally rank stare at the same tier as cripple at least. Aoe max debuffs are easier to use for multi debuff and debuff refreshing. I find myself using cripple more often than stare because of its synergy with the other fear skills. AUBREY (I agree she's the worst party member, due to a lack of skill variety and the fact that all her skills are outclassed by someone else's at hikki) Pep Talk: Since you get sparklers early on, I'd rank its importance lower than sad poem Headbutt: This is kinda like bread slice, you can use it for the slightly more damage if you really have to, but with 20% hp cost its not the best skill around, and its damage is outclassed by twirl(sometimes), power hit(sometimes), mood wrecker(usually), wind up throw(always), all without the hp penalty, so it falls off quickly. I'd put it at the same tier as bread slice. Counter: Gets you killed, yes, but the only other taunt skill this early in game is charm, and that costs twice as much juice for less effects, and Aubrey is also tankier than Hero. Spamming counter is a valid strategy for bosses with no aoe! As long as you beef up Aubrey and heal her constantly, you've basically won the fight. Making one character tankier is easier than trying to make all 4 tankier after all. I'd give it 3 stars perhaps Twirl: It's main strength is making her happier, thus boosting its own damage. It's worth noting that happy alone doubles luck, and ecstatic triples it, so stack a bit of luck (or be in early game) and it can deal more damage than headbutt, plus the extra crit chance! This is a reliable attacking option for happy strats until wind up throw, also especially because you both deal damage and setup your emotion in 1 action. I would also give it 3 stars. Team Spirit: I'd say this is better than pep talk as you can easily replace pep talk with sparklers, while team spirit stays irreplaceable until you get access to confettis much later. A god send skill for quickly removing the angry given by sweetheart's laugh! (you cant buy aoe emotion toys until deep well). Wind Up Throw: I mostly agree, thou as Aubrey's most damaging skill until beatdown I would place it at the same tier as power hit. Mash: A better perk than bread slice perhaps, but by the time you get it, a lot of Aubrey skills beat it in terms of damage, so it will never see the light of day.. I'd place it at the same tier as bread slice. Beatdown: Aubrey's single best offensive move (aside from last resort). Not sure if I understood your happy argument correctly, but by default you should be equipping hitrate charms if you're using happy so there shouldnt be worries on missing. While not a 5 star skill there's really no reason to not equip this skill once you get it, same power as hack away, but obtained much much later. So I'd give it 4.5 stars. KEL Annoy: same as pep talk Curveball: I wholeheartedly agree, tho seeing some of the 1 star skills I'd say this deserves 1 star too LOL Juice Me: Careful! -25% hp for +40% juice isn't the best trade when you consider using juice items. Furthermore, it can miss! and it also wastes flex if you had it, making you have to flex again and also making the party member take 62.5% hp of damage. Sure you can heal the damage away, but with how Kel acts first and is almost always faster than the bosses you are placing unnecessary risk to your characters to be toast. It does give you +1 energy tho. I'd give it 2 stars, but still better than tea time. Cant Catch Me: This is a really good way to add extra protection for multi hit bosses/multiple foes. Dropping your foes' chances to hit you by more than half, plus the fact that it moves first, is still an incredibly powerful protective option you can use. Gambling is bad, but with the nature of this skill, youd use it if you have a risk of dying otherwise, and reducing the chances of it is better than not at all. I'd give it 5 stars still, because it makes enemies miss more than half the time... which is crazy if you think about it. HERO Charm: As a straight downgrade of counter, all of it's niches are gone. Plus it can only affect one foe at a time as opposed to counter's all foes. Another 1 star for me unfortunately. Smile: I agree with you, except for one thing: 25 juice is expensive! You'd have to use 75 juice to apply a max atk debuff, where mock + annoy can do it with far less juice and 1 less action. It still holds a niche though, so perhaps 3 stars. Captivate: Once again, counter outclasses it in every way, but it is technically better than charm so maybe 1.5 stars? lmao. Refresh: A good juice recovery option, but rally heals so much more with +4 energy for a slightly higher juice cost, its just way more efficient! Also, its role can more easily be replaced by juice items than cook and snack time by healing items, because refresh' cost is higher and its juice heal is lower, meaning the clams spent on juice items are more worth it. Dazzle: This skill is also deceptively powerful. It has 3 things going for it: moves first, aoe emotion on foes (no item or skill can even do this!), and atk debuff. This synergizes way too well with sad strats! Hero dazzles, Kel rain clouds, and tada! all setup done in just 2 actions, and you are already immortal. The main thing holding this back is a bug actually, it's a bit convoluted for me to explain it here but simply put it doesnt always make all enemies happy if theres an enemy thats already happy. That being said, it's really clear you put a lot of effort into this, a 40 minute video discussing Omori's combat is very welcome! You can find more detailed information about the combat in this page and wiki which I helped write: omori.wiki/Battle_system Glad I was able to find someone else so interested in Omori's combat :) and also sorry for the wall of text lmao

Thing I like about curveball is that it won't change emotions on bosses that are locked, so it's practically just increased damage... although theres better damage for kel.

You're really underestimating Counter, it saved other party members a ton of times

This is a pretty good video, always nice to see recent Omori content just popping up on my recommendations. Even though of course this is more on the game as a whole, we can agree if Basil was a party member we could get for the story.. he's way too strong for his own good WHEEZE. Flower Crown being a one hit less Red Hands, Photograph's aoe hit rate decrease, Cheer's stat boost dependent on Emotion, and then the variety of the hair clip moves syngerizing with whatever strat ya could use for each one. Yikers-

my first playthrough i gave omori seer goggles and ran a happy build by using kel's follow up. seer goggles made sure manic omori almost never missed and lucky slice absolutely powered me through like every boss fight lol

Run n gun and vertigo if set up right basically erases the very concept of the existence of whatever the skill hits after you use it you practically forget the enemy ever existing

Feel like through my play through Audrey wasnt really useful in the early game but during mid to end game she was pretty much important for setting up emotions and doing more dmg.

I tried Kel Nuke (without Coffee) and as a casual gamer THIS IS GAME CHANGING

Good editing and clean vocals. Nice stuff.

0:12 pringle

There is a strong boss: panic Kel gets coffee: calm There is only omori and basil in your team: panic

I will forver defend the fact I think rally is the best non-broken skill in the game and the best part of rally is the 4 energy. I also think that happy strats are the best, the stats buff you get with release energy is better than the 1500 flat damage itself, and that emo inflicting skills are useless post sweetheart (just buy items and free up skill slots). The following very strange strat is how I basically clear the boss rush in as little pain as possible: Turn 1: Rally, Stare, Present to enemy, Confetti Turn 2: Rally, Release energy, Power hit, Tenderise Turn 3: Tickle, Red hands, Beatdown (or last resort if super tanky enemy), Tenderise (or snack time) In turn 3 the buffed stats of release energy added to the 1.5x crit on top of emo advantage will vaporise pretty much anything. It is a lot of setup but the damage output on the last turn is insane and very satisfying. The second rally is not required if the enemy deals a spread attack such as boss rush old sprout so Kel can confetti here allowing hero to use gator aid or one of his special attacks. In terms of healing the first rally should be anough to heal juice of the fight before. Turn 3 is repeatable every turn and not all party members need to attack so hero can smack time/juice Kel instead. Another crazy easy strat is to have Kel attack then pass to Omori, where Omori can use either final strike or vertigo while ecstatic. This is an insane multi enemy damage output for virtually no setup. My normal endgame setup is: Omori: Stare, Vertigo, Red hands, Cripple/Final strike Aubrey: Power hit, Beatdown, Windeup throw, Last resort Kel: Flex, Run and gun, Rally, Tickle Hero: Snack time, Cook/Refresh, Gator aid, Tenderise Pre sweetheart it usueally is: Omori: Sad poem, Stab, Mock, Trick Aubrey: Counter, Team spirit, Windup throw, Twirl Kel: Flex, Run and gun, Annoy, Guard (because Kel has the tendancy of perishing to a forest bunny) Hero: Cook, Smile, Fast food, Homemade jam Some other quirks are: Headbutt is very handy for pluto and the earth at the start of the game and then looses all its use. You can actually toast your own teammate with Juice me if you flex and have an emo advantage over the target.

crit attacks also do a base of +2 damage that ignores defense. This is important because it's one of only 2 ways you can attack the big strong tree. The other (and much better) way is release energy. You can't get hit by the big strong tree, so the only way to increase your energy is using Kel's Rally skill

as someone who hasnt beaten hikiko stare just sounds like the Megaten series' debilitate and i am amazed i was so underleveled i missed it

Great video, this was a lot of fun to listen to! I do disagree with a couple rankings but memegoatomori already left a very detailed comment about pretty much everything I wanted to say, lol. Definitely understand why all the angry-party or sad-enemy skills are ranked so low. Though in my latest hikikomori playthrough I've been experimenting with strategies I don't normally use (like angry vs sad) and trying to avoid outright-cheese skills (like Run N' Gun or Red Hands) - so, a lot of the skills you ranked lower here have been some of my best ones. I suppose you could view angry vs sad as an optional challenge mode in which the relevant skills for that are actually useful. Another thing about angry vs sad, I think it's interesting that the in-game manual says that sad enemies are easiest to defeat, hence why they give less loot. The devs apparently designed sad with that in mind, whether or not it's actually the case. (PS: As someone who's done a _bit_ of stuff on the Omori Fandom wiki, I would say that yeah, you should not reference it for information about the combat system. The Fandom wiki is good for info about areas and secrets but the one memegoatomori linked is way better for combat. Also, fuck Fandom.)

I can make an arguemnt on how counter can actually work well with Aubrey Turn 1 Have aubrey use a regular attack and then look at hero for a defense boost Have kel use coffee on hero Have hero use gator aid or smile at the foe Have omori use stare at the foe Turn 2 Have aubrey use counter Have hero use smile or gator aid again Have kel do whatever Then start using omori to make aubrey sad to depressed This makes Aubrey Tanky enough to spam counter or just use it whenever if you cant use coffee then fast food on hero can stil work.

Love this! I'll add as a casual player that I think dazzle, tea time, and exploit are underrated, but otherwise agree with just about everything else

personally counter has always been one of my favorite moves because if it’s paired with fast food and juice me, you essentially have an unbeatable set. was able to fly through the rare bear dungeon on my first run with this strat.

painful truth is probably one of the best abilities for the sweetheart fight because at a certain point she's permanently locked at happy

A strategy tha i used on my gameplay. So,making the foe Sad,i know it sounds bad,but if you use abilities tha ignores defenses,like stab (with Sad Omori) and Power hit with Aubrey (+ the lower defense additional),you have a massive damage debuff on the enemy without a really downside at all. Considerations:This was my first playthrough,and it was not on the hikikomori rout. For the bad whriting,its becouse i dont fully speaks english and im still learning.

When I played, Kel was fast for me so I used him for heals. I had Aubrey as the tank spamming counter, Hero as juice refill or mass heal if the enemy uses AOE, and Omori as damage usually using stab or lucky slice.

7:05 KEL BOMB/NUKE GO BRRRR

This is a good video and I've been waiting for a detailed video on Omori's combat for AGES and I thought I'd also share my thoughts too. I agree with most of your points but I like taking into account synergy and the turn order between each character. I actually like Counter on Aubrey so that Hero doesn't have to do all the luring and Hero can use that turn to heal the party or whatever. It means she can do something other than just attack as well, though it's not as great when she's Angry since she'll just take more damage. It's annoying how limited Aubrey's move pool is and she doesn't even learn a new skill in the Hikki route! Everyone else does but Aubrey doesn't! I also like having some kind of AoE skill on every character if possible that way you're constantly hitting everything at once (especially great against Abbi), so for Kel I just use Pass to Hero follow-up which also lowers all enemies' Attacks, then I use Cripple and Suffocate together on Omori to also damage and lower Defence and Speed of all enemies, then Aubrey I use Windup Throw. I agree with Mesmerize on Hero as the best Lure skill since it works great on just a single enemy or multiple enemies. If it's just 1 enemy, I just use Stare for stat drops. I agree with everything you said on Rally and Tickle on Kel. Rally is a way better Juice Me imo and then I love using Tickle + Red Hands + Beatdown all in 1 turn, especially when Kel's the fastest. I don't really like Vertigo on Omori or even just making Omori Happy because Omori can't Flex, meaning he can miss. I just think Kel is better at being a nuke with Flex + Run n' Gun in that sense. I would say Fast Food and Mesmerize are 5 star moves too since Fast Food and any lure skill have priority making Hero go first, so Hero being slow and tanky really doesn't matter when he has priority! I use Fast Food as emergency healing because of it and as I said, I use Mesmerize as I think it's just the best of Hero's lure skills. I don't think making enemies Sad is really a bad thing either when Kel can use Megaphone. Megaphone + Sad Poem on an enemy means Aubrey can use a turn 1 super effective Angry headbutt (this was one of my main builds during my multiple playthroughs) In the late game on Hikki Route, I prefer using items to inflict emotions, that way any character can inflict any emotion on anyone and it also frees up a skill slot instead of having to Annoy or Sad Poem etc. Again this is just what I think and also because Omori's combat is so unique and interesting!

The first time i beat jawsum, i used hack away while furious to kill all gators and head butt to kill the boss, it is insanely consistent and almost always works

thank you!! Very useful ❤😊

IVE WANTED SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR SO LONG YEEEEEEEEEEES

Run N’ Gun? X Kel Nuke? ✔️

this is all I ever needed, I just got Omori a few days ago but I'm not too good with the Battle System yet

I actually used counter with Aubry a lot so that Hero could heal.

is anyone not gonna talk abt 23:41

While Aubrey is unfortunately the worst ngl she can make counter work and is the best with the sad emotion because all of her good attacks cost little juice. Her follow up are the best out of the group or at least with the hero follow up attack she can get to + 4 defense in 2 turns with her follow up and gator aid having the option for both with rally from kel. Giving her Hector Jr. Makes her able to have good stats after you're done boosting. Her kel follow up attack is ok for her but the use it gives to Kel is entirely dependent if run and gun accounts for attack.

Guard came in handy when I knew who was being targeted, was a fun way to play at least if not effective as it takes away two people per turn but it can be very useful for very scary hitters

Relatively speaking, this vid is pretty good, good job mate I won't dive into disagreements with the list itself because someone else is coming but I kinda need to point out these minor mistakes, no biggie: -Mock, Trick, Shun, Vertigo, Cripple and Suffocate decrease their respective stat by three stages instead of two -Shun on the Unbread Twins is (almost) cosmetic because they have one defense -Chicken ball is +200 instead of +300 -Omori not having Flex can be mitigated by giving him a hit rate charm since Manic + Coffee will usually be enough already -Mood Wrecker doesn't actually guarantee hits, omori funni game -You don't necessarily have to fight Unbread Twins before you get Snowball if you fight em on one day left -Snack time heals 25% HP instead of 40% Also I'll drop these here I did these with x2 so they may be one second off bc yt sucks -Omori 3:07 Guard 0/5 3:39 Sad Poem 5/5 4:03 Stab 3/5 4:46 Observe 1/5 5:36 Bread Slice 1/5 6:20 Mock 4/5 6:48 Hack Away 3/5 7:32 Lucky Slice 3/5 8:15 Trick 4/5 8:28 Painful Truth 2/5 9:02 Shun 4/5 9:20 Stare 5/5 9:41 Exploit 3/5 10:17 Final Strike 4/5 10:54 Red Hands 5/5 11:18 Vertigo 6/5 12:37 Cripple 4/5 13:05 Suffocate 5/5 13:30 Summary of Omori -Aubrey 14:45 Pep Talk 5/5 15:03 Headbutt 4/5 15:51 Counter 1/5 16:26 Twirl 1/5 16:54 Team Spirit 3/5 17:18 Power Hit 4/5 17:54 Mood Wrecker 3/5 18:33 Wind-Up Throw 3/5 18:58 Mash 2/5 19:20 Beatdown 4/5 19:44 Last Resort 5/5 20:15 Summary of Aubrey -Kel 21:26 Annoy 5/5 21:44 Rebound 22:30 Flex 6/5 23:10 Run n' Gun 6/5 23:13 Curveball 2/5 23:48 Ricochet 2/5 24:21 Juice Me 24:55 Megaphone 3/5 25:36 Can't Catch Me 4/5 26:27 Rally 5/5 27:04 Comeback 1/5 27:52 Tickle 5/5 28:26 Snowball 0/5 29:12 Summary of Kel -Hero 30:34 Cook 5/5 30:51 Massage 0/5 31:53 Charm 3/5 32:21 Snack Time 5/5 32:57 Smile 4/5 33:28 Fast Food 4/5 34:05 Homemade Jam 4/5 34:44 Tea Time 2/5 35:22 Captivate 3/5 35:39 Spicy Food 3/5 36:13 Enchant 2/5 36:41 Share Food 3/5 37:20 Refresh 5/5 37:41 Mesmerize 4/5 38:05 Dazzle 1/5 38:31 Tenderize 3/5 39:05 Gator Aid 5/5 39:21 Summary of Hero

Can you do Basil in a future video?

When I was first playing Omori I didn’t realize Hero was a healer until HUMPHREY and was using items to heal the whole game.

I know this doesn't count, but if you skill swap omori megaphone, you can use it at the start of hikki fear fights and unlock skills and follow ups on turn 1 Also skill swapping kel vertigo makes it beyond illegal

24:22 You forgot to mention how this skill increases the energy meter as well

id love to see this, but for the reverie mod especially with passives!

“If X skill was on Y character, it would be better” Let me tell you about a cool glitch called skill swap

I feel like less the better fit for the mage sense he's frail and had the highest juice stat, omoris more like a jack of all trades Aubrys a tank/heavy hitter and heros a white mage/support

Do an update to this video only going over basil's moves (all 9 of them)

I didn't use kel bomb on my first play through to not ruin the boss battles, but I'm doing a replay and don't feel like doing all the boss battles again 😂

30:23 Is this is pun [JAM packed -> homemade jam]?

Bro imagine someone says your gf Is a C tier

You should do a summary of basil's move set :D

4:07 subtitles 💀

i'm not sure this was brought up in the video or the comments, but sad foes also give less xp and clams, whereas happy and angry foes give more xp or clams, i can't remember which is which though

Painful truth and shun worked for me

cool!

Can someone help me find a good set for everyone? Im at the Deep Well on my hikki route and im thinking on changing them for Slime Girls and Humphrey My omori has: HACK AWAY, MOCK, TRICK and SHUN My aubrey has: TEAM SPIRIT, HEADBUTT, WIND-UP THROW and POWER HIT My kel has: MEGAPHONE, REBOUND, RUN 'N GUN and FLEX And my hero has: COOK, HOMEMADE JAM, SNACK TIME and SPICY FOOD What skills should i change- Oh and btw im using Spicy Food with Hero until i get Tenderize

How would you rank Sunny's skills (in and out of the final boss)

Misses Sunny's OP skill play :( /j

I feel like Omori is a pretty easy game. The Omori Reverie mod has a hard mode to it, which I like as it make the game much more challenging.

I love this game

Ngl I disagreed with a lot of these (Especially Tea Time that's one of my favourite skills in the game), but regardless this is a really good list.

AMORI

D A M N thats a lot of info i needed to know/srs LMAOOO

I'm sorry, but I won't tolerate this Guard slander. Guarding with everyone and letting you safely reach 10 juice is a busted strategy (in the early game at least). I think I beat the venus flytrap miniboss underleveled with it as well.

good review, but you completely forgot about equipment and shit talked on happy omori because of that.
