Killer Instinct Guide › ORCHID

INTRODUCTION

Orchid is one of the best characters in the game when it comes to mix-ups. When she activates Instinct she becomes even more deadly, able to make any attack safe while keeping her opponent locked down with continuous pressure and even more mix-ups. Besides having insane offensive pressure, Orchid is also one of the better defensive characters in the game, using ranged Heavy attacks to smack opponents attempting to approach her. Getting off the graound against Orchid is a nightmare while Instint is active, leaving opponents feeling helpless.

INSTINCT MODE:

Orchid gains the use of a Firecat projectile while in Instinct Mode. By pressing , she summons a Firecat that runs across the screen toward the opponent. While Instinct is active, Orchid can summon a Firecat once every 45 frames until Instinct Mode expires.
