The blueprint is rewarded on completion of The War Within. Additional blueprints can be bought from Cephalon Simaris for 100,000 Standing 100,000. The parts can be acquired from special enemies that appear during a Kuva Siphon or Kuva Survival; the Blade drops from Kuva Guardians, while the Disc drops from Kuva Jesters.

Characteristics

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

Advantages:

Third highest base damage of all glaives, behind Falcor and Pathocyst.
- High Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage – effective against health.
Good critical chance and status chance.
Possesses momentum during regular swings, which resists interruption such as stagger or knockdown.
Charge 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.
- Primary and secondary weapons can be fired and reloaded can be used normally with a thrown glaive, and retrieving the glaive does not interrupt these actions.
- Thrown glaive is silent.
- Glaive can explode mid-flight by pressing the melee button which forces a return or after hitting an object or enemy on the last bounce with Power Throw equipped.
- Channeling the glaive prior to throwing it will consume 5 energy to 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 along side 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.
Short melee range.
Cannot use melee attacks while the glaive is in mid-flight.
Exploding glaive inflicts self-damage.
Charged attacks do not Punch Through enemies, unlike other glaives.

Notes

The Orvius has a special function where throwing the weapon at an enemy while channeling 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 Shocking Touch equipped, it would deal Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist. damage. With both Shocking Touch and 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.
- Energy is also consumed when thrown and when exploding if the player is still channeling.
- 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.
- Reactivating channel will detonate the weapon prematurely.
- The explosion can cause self-damage if players are close enough (~5 meters).
- The special effect does not benefit from channeling mods (e.g.m Killing Blow) when thrown while dual-wielding with a secondary weapon.
If used alongside a single handed pistol, ideally one with high status chance for Condition Overload, not only can you soften targets up with the pistol and make the Orvius deal more damage, but the channeling cost is completely negated. Instead of having to channel, the user simply has to wait until the ridicule glows blue, which will have the same effect as if it was channeled but with no energy cost and bonus stats.
- This is a deadly combo that can easily kill most enemies, especially if also utilized through stealth.
Orvius can be detonated mid-air without the cost of energy after being thrown, making it a great crowd control weapon.
Non-channeling 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 by channeling the throw, 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..
- The detonation occurs and deals the same damage regardless of whether or not the weapon is still being channeled; because of this, it is advised to stop channeling after the initial hit to save energy.

Tips

Unequipping attack speed mods can make the timing for a channeled throw while dual-wielding easier to achieve.
- Throwing the Orvius using this method is preferable to the traditional channeled throw because it does not drain energy or require channeling to do so. Additionally, because the player is dual-wielding, it's still possible to deal damage while the Orvius is latched to a target.
Dual-wielding with a secondary weapon with high status chance and using Condition Overload on the Orvius will greatly increase the damage of the channeled 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 Whirlwind mod.
Because of the channeled 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.
