Orvius

The Orvius is a throwing melee weapon used by Teshin, introduced in update. The Orvius blueprint is awarded to players upon completion of related quest.

Characteristics
This weapon deals primarily damage.

Advantages:
 * High damage – effective against Infested, Flesh and Cloned Flesh.
 * Can be thrown using the charge attack function.
 * The Orvius can be detonated in-flight by pressing the channel button, or with Power Throw when unequipped, which does not cost energy.
 * Silent.
 * The throwing attack still counts as melee, so it will do bonus damage against unalerted enemies even when thrown.
 * Can hit enemies on way back to thrower.
 * Can hit headshots and other weak spots for damage multipliers on its throw more easily than other melee weapons.
 * Can be aimed around corners and used to hit several enemies in one bounce.
 * Knockdown on jump attack.
 * Regular attacks have momentum, like heavy weapons (stagger resist).
 * Player can still perform other actions while the Orvius is in mid-flight.
 * Catching the Orvius while a reload is still ongoing will not interrupt the reload.
 * Channeling attacks can stun and suspend an enemy in mid-air, making them more vulnerable to attack.

Disadvantages:
 * Short melee attack range.
 * Regular attacks can only hit one target.
 * Ground slam attack has a very small AoE radius.
 * The user cannot use melee attacks until the Orvius has returned, limiting its rapid fire (charge) capability.
 * When it bounces off the wall, it has a very low chance to hit an enemy.
 * The explosion caused by channeling the weapon or by Power Throw while the Orvius is in flight can damage the user.
 * Low critical chance.
 * Channeled thrown attacks will use up energy regardless if it hits enemies or damages them.
 * Slow attack speed.

Acquisition

 * The Orvius' parts can be acquired from special enemies that show up during a Kuva Siphon objective; The Orvius Blades can drop from Kuva Guardians, while Discs can be dropped by Kuva Jesters.
