Orka abilities, deck combinations, and variants in Marvel Snap

Orka's abilities

Orka may seem dull at face value when compared to other Series 4 cards like Luke Cage, Absorbing Man, and others since it only deals nine power damage at the cost of six energy points. However, its abilities make it a potent item to be used in the penultimate round of the battles.

Orka grants players five more damage points if it is the only card in the selected location. This means they can use it to deliver 14 damage points without using any other item in that spot. This has the potential to turn an impending defeat into victory if the opponent’s score is less than 14 points.

The ability can be a drawback in scenarios if the opponent has a strong deck from higher pools. In some cases, it may happen that the person on the other end already has more than 14 points in one location where players would like to use Orka. This may make having this card redundant and a waste of space in the deck. However, there are some ways to counter this situation.

There is one way to ensure that using Orka in battle doesn't go to waste. Players must ensure they have Klaw in their deck along with it. Since it belongs to Pool 1, many will have it very early on in the game.

Using Klaw will give a boost of six power to the card on the location to its right. So, one can deploy it and then use Orka in the last turn, and place it on the location on the former's right.

Another tactic players can resort to is using Ebony Maw. He has the ability to disallow opponents from playing any card in the location where it is placed. This increases the chances of victory in one location of the battle.

One can then proceed to use Orka in any desired spot. Using it does require a proactive effort of spotting an opening to leverage Klaw and Ebony Maw.
