Notes

• The Orthos will extend slightly when drawn, and retract back after "sheathing".

Tips

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

Trivia

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