The Orthrus is the faction cruiser for [[Mordu's Legion]], introduced in the Kronos expansion. Like the other Mordu's Legion ships, it has bonuses for the range of [[Tackling|tackle]] modules, for missile damage, and for missile range. | The Orthrus is the faction cruiser for [[Mordu's Legion]], introduced in the Kronos expansion.

Navigation support skills, missile supports, and shield tanking skills will be especially important. Both Gallente and Caldari Cruiser skills should be at IV at minimum, and V in both is desirable given the ship's rarity and value. | ||
As a ship conventionally used to kite, the Orthrus also puts a premium on player (not character) skill. Pilots might want to log time kiting in relatively cheaper hulls such as the [[Osprey Navy Issue]] to hone their abilities for the Orthrus. | As a ship conventionally used to kite, the Orthrus also puts a premium on player (not character) skill.

Like the other Mordu's Legion ships, the bonuses on the Orthrus combine to make it an excellent kiting ship in PvP combat, able to tackle targets from long ranges and pepper them with missile DPS while staying out of their own tackle range. Fitted with Rapid Light Missile Launchers, it can kill almost anything that can keep up with it, and flee from almost anything that can kill it. Fitted with heavier missiles, it can muster impressive DPS at range. | Like the other Mordu's Legion ships, the bonuses on the Orthrus combine to make it an excellent kiting ship in PvP combat, able to tackle targets from long ranges and pepper them with missile DPS while staying out of their own tackle range.
