Notes

  • Dexterity provides stronger physical scaling than Strength. It offers more reach than a shortbow, with the ordinary bow firing pattern rather than the quick roll-shots of Black Bow.
  • Samurai starts with a copy, but every class can buy the same weapon from the Twin Maiden Husks for 1,200 runes. It is not locked to the starting class.
  • The shop copy starts unupgraded. Choosing Samurai does not provide a permanently stronger version or a special arrow-only passive.
  • Mighty Shot costs 6 FP and fires a stronger arrow with increased status buildup. Make room for the slower draw; it is a deliberate shot rather than a rapid Barrage.
  • Starts with Mighty Shot. Can use compatible Ashes of War for this bow class, but keeps Standard affinity rather than changing to Heavy, Keen or an elemental melee affinity.
  • Upgrade with Smithing Stones to +25.
  • Grease and weapon enchantments cannot be applied. Choose the ammunition for added elemental damage or status buildup; this bow has no Arcane scaling to increase the arrows' status buildup.
  • Uses arrows, rather than bolts or greatarrows. Equip up to two arrow types in the ammunition slots and use the corresponding firing input to choose between them.
  • Requires 9 Strength and 14 Dexterity. Weighs 4. Ordinary shots spend stamina and ammunition; the skill also needs its listed FP.
