Orphea is a Ranged Assassin hero and the first original hero from Nexus (Heroes of the Storm universe). She has a good set of high damage skills that is great for duelling and teamfighting. However, it has a weak line – average survivability, which directly depends on how successfully you hit with skills. Orphea, who knows how to position herself correctly in teamfight and heals with Chaos stacks, will be impossible to stop. Otherwise, it dies very quickly when it gets into control or from a high-range poke.

Useful Strategies and Tips
Shadow Waltz has a low cooldown (especially hitting the enemy Hero) and serves as the main skill for stable damage and healing. The ability to dash a short distance after hitting a Hero with this ability provides the necessary mobility in battle, allowing you to get closer to the desired targets or dodge enemy control.
Chomp – High AoE damage allows you to quickly kill the entire Minion wave. However, due to the very short range against Heroes it will not be so easy to apply, and you will most likely need to dash from Shadow Waltz to get closer.
Dread has a long range, and allows you to deal damage without putting yourself at risk. Also 25% Slow can slow down the target so that it hits the Shadow Waltz’s radius.
Eternal Feast despite its capabilities, this skill is difficult to use to deal a lot of damage. Players in the fight will go out of its radius, especially during the initial delay. Therefore, it is best suited as a zoning skill, which will allow gain control over capture points.
Crushing Jaws is one of the important Abilities in teamfight. AoE stun will allow your team to deal massive amounts of damage. In end-game hitting with this skill followed up with your Basic Abilities guarantees a kill on squishy Heroes.
Overflowing Chaos gives good self sustain and additional damage, so do not forget to use Basic Attacks in order not to lose Chaos stacks to empty.
