Characteristics

This weapon deals primarily Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.

Advantages:

  • Third highest base damage of all glaives, behind Falcor Falcor and Pathocyst Pathocyst.
    • High Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – effective against health.
  • High critical chance and status chance.
  • Possesses momentum during regular swings, which resists interruption such as stagger or knockdown.
  • Heavy Attack throws the glaive, which can bounce up three times or travels up to 30 meters before returning to the user, damaging anyone in its path.
    • Thrown glaive has innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – effective against Alloy Armor, Shielded, and Infested Sinew.
    • Thrown glaive has above average critical multiplier.
    • Primary and secondary weapons can be fired and reloaded normally with a thrown glaive, and retrieving the glaive does not interrupt these actions.
    • Thrown glaive is silent.
    • Glaive can explode in a 4.8 meter radius mid-flight by pressing the heavy attack button which also forces a return.
    • Blocking prior to throwing the glaive will make the weapon fly above the first enemy in its path and suspend them in midair for 3 seconds. The disc then inflicts 3 ticks of damage to the suspended target before exploding and damaging all enemies around it and then return to the user.
    • Using the weapon alongside a single handed pistol will negate the energy usage, while keeping this effect.
  • Can be wielded in-tandem with a single-handed secondary weapon.
  • Innate Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Pol" does not exist. polarities.

Disadvantages:

  • Low Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against shields and armor.
  • Thrown glaive has innate Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – less effective against Infested Flesh and Fossilized.
  • Second slowest attack speed of all glaives, after Pathocyst Pathocyst.
  • Cannot use melee attacks while the glaive is in mid-flight.
  • Explosion inflicts self-stagger.
  • Explosion has linear damage falloff from 100% to 50% from central impact.
  • Thrown attacks do not Punch Through enemies, unlike other glaives.

Notes

  • The Orvius has a special function where throwing the weapon at an enemy while blocking will make the weapon fly above the target enemy's head, and then suspend them in mid-air. The disc will last for 3 seconds before exploding, dealing damage to all enemies within its radius. Enemies who are instantly killed by the explosion will not be suspended.
    • While above an enemy's head, the Orvius will deal damage approximately once per second with 100% status chance.
      • The base damage of this special attack is Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., but it can proc any other elements added to the weapon through mods. For example, with Mod TT 20px Shocking Touch equipped, it would deal Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage. With both Mod TT 20px Shocking Touch and Mod TT 20px Fever Strike, it would deal Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. and Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage and have a chance to proc either status.
      • Orvius cannot proc physical status effects this way.
    • If the enemy dies before the 3-second duration is up, the Orvius will immediately explode before returning to the player.
    • In Conclave, the Orvius will follow enemies, dealing some damage over time with a guaranteed Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. proc until it returns. It will still explode if the enemy it's following dies.
    • Pressing again the heavy attack key will detonate the weapon prematurely.
    • The explosion can cause self-damage if players are close enough (~5 meters).
  • If used alongside a single handed pistol, ideally one with high status chance for Condition Overload, you can soften targets up with the pistol and make the Orvius deal more damage.
  • Orvius can be detonated mid-air without the cost of energy after being thrown, making it a great crowd control weapon.
  • Normal throw attacks deal 150 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage while the detonation does 150 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage.
  • When suspending an enemy, it deals 150 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage per second for three seconds (unless detonated prematurely) with the subsequent explosion while returning dealing 400 Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist..

Tips

  • Unequipping attack speed mods can make the timing for the special attack throw while dual-wielding easier to achieve.
  • Dual-wielding with a secondary weapon with high status chance and using Mod TT 20px Condition Overload on the Orvius will greatly increase the damage of the special attack throw.

Bugs

  • Ragdolling an enemy that is under the effects of the special attack and then quickly switching weapons will result in the enemy either continuing to float or walking in place with the tethers still attached and refusing to attack, even after the Orvius is returned.
  • The special attack is less likely to work if dual wielding and using the Mod TT 20px Whirlwind mod.
  • Because of the special attack throw targeting the enemy closest to you, sometimes the Orvius attempts to lock onto enemies that are either below or above you by a floor, thus making the ability inconsistent on maps where Turrets are widespread.

Patch History

Hotfix 27.2.2 (2020-03-06)
Reduced the following AoE weapons Radial Damage Falloff from central impact that were all previously 90%:

  • Orvius: 50%

Update 27.2 (2020-03-05)

Self Damage Changes

We are getting rid of Self Damage and replacing it with something else: instead of Self Damage, it’s now ‘Stagger’. This change completely removes the chance of killing yourself, and instead now creates scenarios where you will interrupt yourself - or ‘Stagger’ - to varying degrees if you aren’t careful.

The degrees of Self-Interrupt start with a small stumble all the way to full knockdown depending on how close you are to the center of explosion. Any Mods referring to Self Damage will be converted to acknowledge Stagger.

With this Self-Interrupt system, we have added dozens of new recovery animations that harness a ninja-like recovery experience. By pressing ‘Jump’ at the correct time, you can execute a ninja-skill-based knockdown recovery to ALL in-game knockdowns. This ninja recovery window is indicated by a glowing FX on your Warframe.

In the original Dev Workshop, we said:
As a result of this overall systemic change, Weapons with Stagger will be getting approximately a 20% buff in Damage, with any weapons with AOE receiving a 50% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact.

This is no longer accurate after continued testing. What we are doing now is:

No damage buffs have been added, but any weapons with AOE are receiving ~20% increase in Radius. Additionally, AOE weapons are receiving a 90% Radial Damage Falloff from central impact. This means on the very outer section of the explosion Radius 10% of the Damage will be dealt. Tactics will be deadly - aim true, Tenno.

Why: Several players brought up the history of the Tonkor and we want to make sure we ship this change in a place that’s conservative in its starting point from a balance perspective. The complete removal of Self Damage does change the pace of destruction with some of the game’s most powerful weapons, so we want to make sure we can iterate upwardly instead of releasing a bonanza of explosions with no other choices.
