=== Buffs & debuffs === | === Buffs & debuffs === | ||
Buffs and debuffs | Buffs and debuffs work similar to what is expected in other JRPG, the most common buffs/debuffs, speed, attack, and defense lasts for six turns and stack up to three times, while the uncommon ones, like sno-cone and the release energy buff, do not stack and last till the end of the battle or till it becomes toast. To keep track of all that, the game makes use of several states, one for each tier of the buffs, when a state already applied is applied again, it removes the current tier and gives another advanced tier, for example, using "Gator aid" will give everyone a "defense up 1", buffing again will remove "defense up 1" and apply "defense up 2", and so on, if a buff is already at max tier it will instead just reapply itself. | ||

Revision as of 19:49, 17 August 2021
The battle system in OMORI is similar to the combat of the traditional turn-based JRPGs which the game takes inspiration from, with the use of plugins to create additional mechanics to control the flow of the battle, like emotions and follow-ups.
Stats
Most stats rest unchanged compared to what is expected, save from some renames and small differences, as seen below:
- Heart: It's the normal "HP" or "health points" value we see in other JRPGs, it's the amount of health party members and enemies have, if fully depleted, the character becomes "toast" (the game equivalent of a "KO" state), except Omori, who if ever reaches 0 heart it will bring up the "game over" screen.
- Juice: It's the normal "MP" or "mana points" value we see in other JRPGs, it's the amount of mana party members and enemies have, most skills costs juice to use, party members are unable to use skills that use more mana than what they currently have. Only the members of the player's party use juice for their skills, enemies use their juice solely as shields when they are inflicted with Sadness.
- Attack: Attack works as predicted, as it decides the amount of damage most attacks do, with very few exceptions, like Kel's "run'n gun" or Aubrey's "last resort".
- Defense: Defense works as predicted, decreasing damage taken by attacks and skills, note that there are skills that bypass defense.
- Speed: Speed works like an "agility" value we have in other JRPG games, however in OMORI it only affects three things: who will act first, some skills formulas, and the chances of running away from the battle. With very few exceptions, like Sunny's Calm Down, Focus, Persist, Encore, and Cherish skills.
- Luck: Luck controls the critical hit rate, each point in luck is 1% critical rate, however, luck does not increase when leveling up.
- Hit rate: Hit rate dictates how often an attack hits or misses, except for Sunny with a 75% hit rate, the default hit rate for the party members is 0%, enemies mostly have a 95% hit rate.
- Critical hit: The chance to "hit right in the heart" as the game puts, as stated before, it's a % chance based on flat luck, each point in luck increase critical hit rate by 1%. Hitting right in the heart increase the damage dealt by the attack by 50% + 2, if the base damage's lower than 0, hitting right in the heart will always deal two damage instead.
Equipment
Weapons
Weapons are the characters and the main method of attacking, granting the hit rate needed so the characters can hit something, the player is only able to change the weapon of the dream world cast, excluding Omori. Each character uses different types of weapons, as seen below:
- Omori uses knives to attack, while Sunny uses the Steak Knife, his own hands or the Violin.
- Aubrey, while in Headspace, uses a variety of blunt-force weapons, such as hammers, bats, and pillows. In the real world, she wields her Nail Bat.
- Kel, while in Headspace, uses various types of balls as weapons. In the real world, he uses his Basketball.
- Hero, while in Headspace, uses cooking and serving utensils, like pans and spatulas. In the real world, he uses his fist.
Charms
Charms are equipable items shared between all characters, each character can carry one charm, which will grant a variety of different effects, like increasing stats, granting emotions or immunity to it, changing battle rewards, etc.
Battle actions
During the battle, there is a set of actions the player can take at the beginning of the turn, these are:
Attack
The default attack option, shared with all party members, doing an attack allows the use of follow-ups when pressing the movement keys in direction of a living party member.
The basic attack always has the same formula of doing double the character's attack minus the target's defense. All basic attacks have the default 20% damage variation and can hit right in the heart, basic attacks from real-world party members can't hit right in the heart.
Skills
Each character has access to a variety of skills that they can use, however only four skills can be used at the same time, including the ability to guard attacks, below is an abstract for each character's skills, a more complete list can be seen at the character page, keep in mind that every skill that applies emotions and buffs can be applied again to increase the tier. Like attack, all skills, with very few exceptions, have the default 20% damage variation and can hit right in the heart, skills which this does not apply will have it written on the list below.

Snacks
Snacks can restore the Heart or Juice of one or all party members. Certain snacks can also revive party members who are toasted or applying some buffs.
Toys
Toys are one-use items, typically causing a debuff or emotion. They can be used on enemies, and sometimes on party members.
Run away
As the name suggests, this action is for running away from combat. the chance to escape is based on this formula: [0.65 * $gameParty.agility() / $gameTroop.agility()], in other words, the speed value of all the party members combined, multiplied by 0.65, divided by the speed of the enemy troop. Whenever a failed attempt's made, an additional 10% chance is added.
Battle mechanics
Energy
Energy is a resource gained whenever one of the party members is hit by any attack, the party starts with 3 energy with a maximum of 10 energy, consuming 3 energy when using follow-ups and 10 energy for using the ultimate "release energy" follow-up.
Follow-ups
As stated before, follow-ups can be used after an attack's made and each party member has a different set of follow-ups, it changes as the player advances throughout the game, ranging from level one to three:
Aubrey | Description | Level one | Level two | Level three |
---|---|---|---|---|
Aubrey look at Omori to grab his attention... | [(2 * a.atk + a.luck) - b.def]. | [(3 * a.atk + a.luck) - b.def]. | [3 * a.atk + a.luck]. | |
Aubrey looks at Kel, who eggs her back. | Turn Aubrey angry. | Turn Aubrey and Kel angry and increase Aubrey's[1] attack by one tier. | Turn Aubrey and Kel furious, and increase Aubrey's[1] attack by one tier. | |
Aubrey looks at Hero, who tells her to focus and cheer up! | Turn Aubrey happy and increase her defense by one tier. | Heals 25% , turn Aubrey happy and increases her defense by one tier. | Heals 75% and 50 , turn Aubrey ecstatic and increase her defense by three tiers. |
Kel | Description | Level one | Level two | Level three |
---|---|---|---|---|
Kel passes his ball for Omori to catch... | [1] damage to Omori... also turns him sad. | [(1.5 * Omori.atk) + (1.5 * kel.atk) - b.def], also turn Omori happy. | [(2 * Omori.atk) + (2 * kel.atk) - b.def], also turn Omori ecstatic. | |
Kel passes his ball to Aubrey and she knock it out of the park! | [Aubrey.atk + kel.atk - b.def]. | [(2 * Aubrey.atk) + kel.atk - b.def]. | [(2 * Aubrey.atk) + (2 * kel.atk) - b.def]. | |
Kel passes his ball to Hero to dunk on the foes! | [Aubrey.atk[2] + kel.atk) - b.def], to all enemies. | [Aubrey.atk[2] + (1.5 * kel.atk) - b.def], to all enemies. | [(1.5 * Aubrey.atk)[2] + (1.5 * kel.atk) - b.def], to all enemies and decrease their attack by one tier. |
Buffs & debuffs
Buffs and debuffs work similar to what is expected in other JRPG, the most common buffs/debuffs, speed, attack, and defense lasts for six turns and stack up to three times, while the uncommon ones, like sno-cone and the release energy buff, do not stack and last till the end of the battle or till it becomes toast. To keep track of all that, the game makes use of several states, one for each tier of the buffs, when a state already applied is applied again, it removes the current tier and gives another advanced tier, for example, using "Gator aid" will give everyone a "defense up 1", buffing again will remove "defense up 1" and apply "defense up 2", and so on, if a buff is already at max tier it will instead just reapply itself.
Below is a list of all major buffs and debuffs. There are more buffs, which are used exclusively by enemies, like increasing hit rate and such, these are covered when needed on their articles.
Buff | Tier one | Tier two | Tier three |
---|---|---|---|
Attack up | Increase attack by 10%. | Increase attack by 25%. | Increase attack by 50%. |
Defense up | Increase defense by 15%. | Increase defense by 30%. | Increase defense by 50%. |
Speed up | Increase Speed by 50%. | Increase Speed by 100%. | Increase Speed by 400%. |
Sno-cone | Increase speed, attack, luck, and defense by 20%. | ||
Release energy | Increase speed, attack, luck, and defense by 25%.[3] |
Debuff | Tier one | Tier two | Tier three |
---|---|---|---|
Attack down | Decrease attack by 10%. | Decrease attack by 20%. | Decrease attack by 30%. |
Defense down | Decrease defense by 25%. | Decrease defense by 50%. | Decrease defense by 75%. |
Speed down | Decrease speed by 20%. | Decrease speed by 50%. | Decrease speed by 75%. |
Emotions
Emotions are a type of state that gives the character some buffs and debuffs, they also give an "element" to their attack that makes it stronger or weaker to other emotional states, with three tiers for each emotion. It follows the following rules:
- Normal enemies and most bosses can only have tier 1 emotion.
- Party characters can only have up to tier 2 emotion, and can only have the first tier of afraid.
- Only Omori and some bosses can have tier 3 emotions. Omori is also immune to afraid.
- Sunny can only be afraid, stressed out, angry and sad, other real-world friends follow the same rules as their dreamworld counterparts.
While under the effect of emotions, the character does more damage to one emotion and takes less damage from another, following the pattern that can be seen in Hero's Emotion chart at the side, which is:
- Angry is strong against sad.
- Sad is strong against happy.
- Happy is strong against angry.
The emotion resistance and weakness values are as follow:
* Emotion Resistance: Takes 20% / 35% / 50% less damage. * Emotion Weakness: Deals 50% / 100% / 150% more damage.
As an example, an attack done to an ecstatic party member from an angry source will deal 65% damage, while an attack done to the angry foe from an ecstatic source will deal 200% damage instead of 100%.
Emotion tiers
Happy | Ecstatic | Manic | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Angry | Enraged | Furious | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Sad | Depressed | Miserable | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Afraid | Stressed out | ||
---|---|---|---|
|
|
Boss specific emotions
Bosses that have advanced tiers of emotion, these being Sweetheart, captain Space Ex-Boyfriend and the Unbread Twins, use different emotion trees compared to the player once they become emotion locked, it follows slightly different rules, as seen below:
Happy | Ecstatic | Manic | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Angry | Enraged | Furious | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
|
Sad | Depressed | Miserable | |||

Plot armor
Plot armor is the mechanism that forbids Omori from dying when being victim of a killing blow once per battle, which gives the message “Omori did not succumb” instead, it’s a simple “immortal” state that’s given to Omori, once being struck by a killing blow, the immortal state’s set to be removed at the end of the turn, meaning that all damage taken till the end of the turn will still not kill him.
Prior to patch 1.0.8, the game used to check heart value at the end of the turn to determine if Omori should or should not disable his plot armor, if Omori had more than 5% by the end of the turn (for example, by the use of a healing item after the “killing blow” was taken), it was possible to keep the immortal state indefinitely, as long as Omori never ended a turn with less than 5% .
Calculation of status effects
As seen above, there are several items and abilities that can increase a character's stats mid-battle, either by applying emotions or buffs, these extra stats are increased additively, meaning that they will always base themselves at the character is base + gear stats and will add to one another, like seen below:
[(Character stats) + (stateº¹ + stateº² ... stateºn)] = current status.
Example:
[(lv 50 Kel speed + Chicken Ball + Fox Tail) + (Ecstatic) + (speed up 3) + (Sno-cone) + (Release energy buff))
[(130 + 200 + 35) + (50%) + (400%) + (20%) + (25%)]
[365 + (495%)]
[2171,75] => [2172] (rounded)
Kel's current speed in this situation is 2172.
For the sake of continuing the example, here is a situation where his speed would apply in a damage formula, in his run 'n gun, with the enemy defense and damage variation being neglected for the sake of simplicity:
[1.5 * a.spd - b.def]
[1.5 * 2172 - 0] = 3258
If right in the heart, 4889.
Keep in mind that RPG Maker MV calculates the values by transforming them, so instead of "increasing speed by 50%" it "set speed to 150%", which is the very same thing, just written differently.
Trivia
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Aubrey and Kel’s interaction only buffs Aubrey’s attack, despite the animation showing on both.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 The damage calculation for Kel's pass to Hero has an oversight, it uses Aubrey's attack stat again instead of Hero's.
- ↑ Release energy also increase experience gained by 50% and doubles the clams won in the battle, but since all buffs are removed before calculating rewards, it does not have this effect in practice.
