TipsEdit

• Being one of the longest melee weapons (after Orthos Prime), the Orthos benefits greatly from Reach; a maxed out Reach will allow you to strike through multiple enemies, bypass Grineer Shield Lancer's shields, and strike Toxic Ancients without touching the poison cloud.
  • The average range of this weapon with a maxed Reach is ~3.6 meters – about as wide as four Grineer/Corpus units standing in a line.
• Combines with Ash's maxed Smoke Screen or Loki's Invisibility for devastating attacks.

TriviaEdit

• In Greek mythology, Orthos (also known as Orthrus) is the name of a two headed dog, brother of Cerberus, which probably relates to the Orthos' two blades.
• Ortho- is a prefix in Greek which meant "straight", “upright”, “right”, or “correct”.
