The Tenno forged Orthos is a rare double bladed staff. Those who take the time to master it speak of its impressive striking distance and ability to hit multiple targets.
When swinging you will be reduced to a walking pace, starting on the third swing animation.
Normal attacks have awkwardly placed swing hitboxes which vary with each swing animation, making it more difficult to hit enemies.
Low critical chance.

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”.
