Understanding Bow Variety

The mod provides over seven unique bows, each with a distinct special ability. Some may focus on rapid fire, area damage, piercing shots, or utility effects. Your choice depends on whether you prefer aggressive offense, crowd control, or tactical support.

Testing Before Upgrading

When you find a new bow, test it in combat before investing upgrade materials. Fire it at mobs to feel its attack speed, damage, and special ability. Hold Alt to read its stats and understand what makes it unique.

Building Your Arsenal

Don't limit yourself to one bow. Keep several upgraded weapons for different situations:

  • One for general mob fighting
  • One optimized for boss encounters
  • One for crowd control or utility

Since runes are swappable, you can also maintain a single bow and change its rune based on your current task. Combine this flexibility with permanent string and frame upgrades to create a versatile ranged loadout.
