If you want to make Orthros perform at peak performance in AFK Arena, you need to run the right built. While many players think simply maxing out will do the trick (well, not too wrong), there are certain sweetspots with Orthros that will give a big boost so I have some recommendations below that you will very likely find interesting.
Orthros’s Signature Item should be at +30. His Signature Item adds freeze and also reduces enemy haste a lot and this makes him survive longer and a more durable hero to use when he can be squishy at times without a Signature Item.. If you want to learn more about my recommended priority how you should invest into Signature Items in AFK Arena, check out my SI Priority Guide here.
Furniture Recommendation
Overall it’s recommended to get Orthros’s 9/9 furniture set bonus. Orthros’ furniture is effective picks if you have Orthros surviving and get his ultimate going more than once. Squishy but strong and if you set your Orthos into action right a beast, but that’s not for every player.

Recommended Artifacts
Barricade is the best artifact to run with Orthros in most cases, although you can also consider running Waistband of Resilence or Duras Call as backups, depending on your team setup and what artifact you have available.
Engraving
In terms of Engravings, your final goal should be E30.. Although not investent here is mandatorily needed, it scales with stats and the further you push, the more performance you will squeeze out of him. Don’t overdo it, though, and I think E30 should be the maximum looking at how expensive further investments get. Learn more about my recommended engraving priority here.
