100% Orange Juice - Sham & Sherry Character Pack Review Summary

Sherry has top-tier stats and a hyper that enables multi-battles, though it's situational, while Sham is tanky but his hyper forces rolling a one, and the DLC adds good value variety.

Sherry has top-tier stats: Sherry's +1 to all stats gives her the best stat spread in the game, making her a powerful and versatile fighter. Despite attacking second, her high stats and 5 HP compensate for the drawback, allowing her to block, dodge, and deal damage effectively.

Sham's hyper forces opponents to roll 1: Sham's hyper, Delta Field, makes all opponents roll 1 for every action until her next turn. This is a powerful and fun ability, especially when used on players near boss panels or traps, and is considered one of the best hypers in the game.

DLC offers good value and variety: The DLC is a nice package with two balanced characters, unique hypers, new music, and new sprites. The price is excellent for what you get, adding variety to the game and supporting the developers' continuous development.

Sherry's hyper enables multi-battles: Whimsical Windmill lets Sherry battle every opponent one by one while gaining +1 evasion per fight. This makes her a great evade character in later fights and allows her to bully enemies from anywhere on the map.

Sham is defensively tanky: Sham's +1 Defense and +1 Evasion make her a tough character who rarely gets KO'd. She is a defensive character with above average survivability and can serve as an opportunistic star collector.

Sherry's hyper is situational: Sherry's hyper is only useful in specific situations, such as when everyone is at low HP or for a big hunt. Many players find it sub-par and risky because it can backfire and cause her to be attacked first.

Sham is a weak character: Sham is often considered weaker than Sherry, with a -1 attack penalty that discourages offensive play. Her hyper is situational and can be easily countered by opponents using movement cards, battle cards, or low rolls.

Sherry's drawback deters players: Many players are put off by Sherry's drawback of always attacking second, which can be painful and make her feel weak. It often leads to losing the first battle and can be particularly frustrating against high-HP enemies.

Partner mode reduces Sherry's versatility: In partner mode, Sherry's versatility is reduced compared to normal mode. Additionally, her partner Hy often causes self-damage or death, making her less effective in this mode.

Sham causes social issues: Playing as Sham can lead to social consequences such as losing friends or making enemies, likely due to her trollish playstyle. This adds a unique but negative aspect to the character.

Sherry's strong stat spread: Sherry is repeatedly described as having 5 HP with +1 ATK, DEF, and EVD, often compared to Peat but with higher HP. Players consider her stats among the best in the game.

Sherry's forced second attack: Many players note Sherry's passive forces her to attack second in combat unless facing another Sherry. This weakness is frequently discussed and shapes her playstyle.

Sham's Delta Field hyper: Sham's hyper, Delta Field, forces all opponents to roll 1s for a full turn or chapter. This powerful disruption is a defining part of her kit.

Sherry's Whimsical Windmill hyper: Sherry's hyper lets her battle every other player one by one, gaining +1 EVD per battle. It can be activated at rank 3 and synergizes with other effects.

Sham's defensive stats and passive: Sham is noted for having +1 DEF and +1 EVD with no special passive, making her a straightforward defensive character. Some mention her attack starts at -1 and is buffed to 0.

Strong DLC Recommendation: Multiple reviewers strongly recommend this DLC pack, considering it possibly the best for 100% Orange Juice to date. It is described as a no-brainer for fans of the base game, offering useful value for the purchase.

Sherry Highly Praised: Sherry receives extensive praise as a must-have character, especially for players who enjoy a play-with-your-food playstyle or fighting other players. Reviewers consider her the best and highly recommend using her, though she may appeal to masochists or those with a supremely honorable samurai mindset.

Both Characters Well-Rounded: The two characters in this pack are described as well-rounded and fun to play. They are good choices for players without a specific game plan, and reviewers recommend giving both a try.

Great for Intermediate Players: The DLC is recommended for intermediate players looking to spice up their gameplay. It offers variety and is a good option for those wanting to enhance their experience.

Get It Cheap: One reviewer suggests getting this DLC at a cheap price. This indicates that the value proposition may be a consideration for some players.

Tactical Intermediate Deckbuilder: Uses movement, battle, and turn-control cards to manipulate positioning, survival odds, and board risks. Motivation: To explore deeper card synergies and make each match more tactically varied. Stance: buy.

Anime-Flavor Aggro Duelist: Picks aggressive characters for direct fights and playful dominance over opponents. Motivation: To enjoy aggressive, flavorful characters and chaotic player-vs-player battles. Stance: buy.

Achievement Completionist: Rotates characters and focuses sessions on achievement conditions. Motivation: To complete character-specific achievements and clear remaining goals. Stance: buy.

Monetization: The available reviews describe DLC as optional, non-pay-to-win, and content-rich rather than predatory. They mention no in-game cash shop, gacha, loot boxes, paid power, or paid convenience. The only monetization discussed is traditional add-on DLC, which the reviews explicitly say can be skipped and is rebalanced if necessary. Per the scoring rubric, this supports a Fair/Pure classification with a low score.

Two-Character DLC Pack: The DLC adds two playable characters, Sherry and Sham, as a character pack for the game. This is the sixth DLC pack and is compared favorably to the first.

Sham's Lore and Backstory: Sham has an extensive backstory from the original game, including being Sora's instructor, surviving a war, and becoming an idol. Her last commands to Sora led to Sora sleeping for 10,000 years.

New Music Themes: The pack includes new music themed around Sham and Sherry, with Sherry's theme being Bossa Nova and Sham's being slow techno. Sham's original BGM is praised and requested for inclusion in 100% Orange Juice.

DLC Praised and Balanced: The DLC is considered the best in the game, adds variety, and characters are balanced to avoid pay-to-win. It supports the developers' continuous development.

Unique Voice Lines Included: The characters feature unique voice lines, including a special line for Sham encountering herself as an idol. The DLC also adds voice packs for Sherry and Sham.
