Orca (Killer Whale)

Orca is a T10 animal wich evolves from Dolphin. 1 Orca is already annoying, but teams of these are infamous and you will die in a few seconds if you don't have any boost or can't boost (Unless you are Whale, those probabilities are lower as Whale)

## Ability

Killer whales can grab an animal and bring it with them. They do this to drown seagulls and pelicans. They are also very strong against sharks as when grabbing, sharks lose 90 HP per second, as sharks need to move to breathe, but anyways Shark has a higher damage and a strong ability. After the Update 4-15-17, the Orca evolves after Dolphin. Currently, the orca needs to charge the boost to grab, it takes aprox. 0.5s.

## Food

The orca can eat meat, humans, flappy ducks and plankton but not the food from beneath beaver dams.

## Strategies you can use at your disposal.

The orca lacks in brute force and damage, but the grab can be used in many ways effectivly to give you the upper hand. Even one grab can turn the tide for you. (Please note that all the strageties we are going to take a look at will require you to release in order to work out effectivly.)

1) Pin the enemy into a wall. This is the most basic strategy among all orca players. This simply gives you free hits on the target, or you can corner a prey to dish out damage. Instead of making it touch the ground, go near the ground facing it then release it, so it bounces back to you.

2) Throw the enemy into the sky in 1v1. Throwing the enemy into the sky will make the enemy miss its attacks, simply giving you the upper hand. The victum would not escape, as it will fall into your mouth. Toss the victum into the walls when throwing him up, so he will be cornered.

3) Double or even triple grab the enemy. (You gotta master #1 first.) Right when the enemy is pinned into a wall, spam click to release him, and make sure your mouth will hit him. In rare scenarios, you can even triple grab if the steps are performed less than a second.

## Pros and Cons

Pros:

* Able to grab players, it can corner the victum, or get free hits on it.
* It is able to suffocate the shark; for anyone that is not a fan of taking it head on.
* Can be in a grabbing state when airboosting, you can take down eagles.
* Using the enviroment, you can perform double or triple grabs to lock your opponent in place.
* Valuable in team fights; you break the enemy's position.
* Useful in teams or team gamemodes as you can grab someone to toss it onto your teammates.

Cons:

* Does not have good brute strength, has lower than average stats.
* Weak against some ungrabable tanks, they cannot take them head on without mobilty. Skilled orcas can kill Humpback whales without much problem thought.
* Horrible against heavy armored tanks. Loses to Sunfish if it cannot grab.

## Trivia

* Orcas are predators to sunfish, although those are such threats to orcas in-game.
* The grab used to do the same damage as if you were boosting without grab.
* You used to never charge your boost to grab.
* The Orcas were in a higher tier than the sharks before the dev seperated animals into evo tree. But most people used Shark as it could easily deal incredibly high amounts of damage, higher than orcas, and could and can easily escape losen figths, making it a better animal in v1.
