When Safe lane poke to chip the enemy while staying at range

1. QSend ball→
2. WDetonate slow→
3. AutoPassive attack

Tip Q loses damage for each unit it passes through, so avoid routing it through several minions and stop the ball beside the champion. Press W as the ball arrives for damage and a slowing field, then use the allied speed zone either to add a basic attack or retreat safely.

When Bursting a single target or unloading the rotation in a fight

1. QPlace ball→
2. RPull in→
3. WArea detonate→
4. AutoPassive finish→
5. ESelf shield

Tip Place the ball in the center of the group with Q and account for R's brief delay as the shockwave pulls enemies toward it. Overlap W immediately, add a basic attack, then recall the ball with E through the enemies to gain a shield and deal return-path damage.

When Delivering Orianna's R through a diving ally who engages the enemy team

1. EAttach to ally→
2. RShockwave→
3. WSlow damage→
4. QFinish

Tip Attach the ball with E to a diving ally so it travels into the enemy formation with them. Cast R as the ally reaches the priority targets, overlap W's slowing field, then move the ball again with Q along their escape path.

When Surprise flash into the enemy group for a point-blank R

1. EAttach to self→
2. FlashInto group→
3. RInstant R→
4. WSlow detonate→
5. QExtra damage

Tip R always originates from the ball, not Orianna, so begin by attaching it to Orianna with E. Flash into the enemies and cast R-W immediately from the ball's new position, checking before the engage that it is not still attached to another ally.
