Being a Bow main right now is like the greatest thing ever. While it was always super powerful in World, it was NEVER this variable. We've got so many options up the wazoo, you are free to play it however you want. All the Switch skills are viable. The Rampage Bows are all meta and you can choose to run them with Pierce, Spreads or Rapids to fit your playstyle or what works best against the monster. Stamina management is great since Con/Fighter/Dash Juice all stack. There's like no weaknesses to Bow right now.

At last the guide that I have been waiting for

It's incredible, we're like firmly in Fatalis-armor land (where the set is essentially all slots and you can just completely customize it) with the exception of the feather. Some of the easiest sets to make use Vaik chest and Chrome Metal Coil, which are literally just slot armors. As a note, this is one reason I still kinda prefer the Ice Bow to using a rampage. Since it has a 3 slot, it finishes off Normal Up with the Vaik Braces S, or with an appropriate Normal Up 2 charm (got lucky and have a Normal Up 2 1-1. If it was 2-1, it would be fantastic), and then that leaves you two 3 slots to mess around with.

@titianarasputin

The extra stamina drain from the absolute powershot gets annoying at times. Can work around it, just be aware that it exists.

The group meta at the moment is 3 bows and a stamina+attack horn. Let me back this up with some math: According to speedrun google doc at the time of my posting the average Bow WR run time was 2'28", which was fastest among all weapons, while the average HH WR run time was 3'51". If we divide an average monster's life as 100% out by this time we get the %monsterkilled/second, then since the typical 4-person group variant has 2.6x as much HP, we divide by 2.6 to get this weapon's contribution as a percent of the larger heath total per second [1 Bow = 0.259%/sec :: 1 HH = 0.166%/sec]. What would 4 perfect bows speedrunners do? 1.0395%/sec, and would kill the average 4-player monster in 96.2 seconds. What would 3 perfect bows and 1 perfect HH do? Given that the HH applies +10% to +20% attack to the other three bows (we'll say +12% on average if Infernal Melody is up a fifth of the time) the group does 1.03968%/sec, and would kill the average 4-player monster in 96.18 seconds... *BUT* this doesn't factor in that the hunting horn is *also* bringing those three bows from 62.5% less stamina usage to 75% less stamina usage, which makes it even faster. Thus given all averages among the best speedrunners the 3 bows + 1 HH combo, with the HH being stamina/attack, will even discounting the stamina buff be on average faster than 4 perfect bows.

It's kind of silly to base group speedruns on solo speedruns, for example status LBG is practically mandatory for optimal group times, because stunlocking the monster with sticky/para/sleep ammo and traps gives way more damage than a 4th dps (hbg/bow/etc) player or hunting horn buffs.

@alexjgilpin

@@MoooPZ No, not silly at all. 4xDPS runs can have as much output as 4 single DPS runners combined - as it is also with 3 DPS and a HH. The theoretical numbers are a pretty good projection. Perhaps you should do some tests so you can back up your claim when it comes to LBG status? I suggest trying some 4-person runs with the ammo and put it side-by-side with the theoretical 4th HH and 4th DPS times - that way you have some concrete numbers to compare. I'm betting that 3DPS+1stun will be faster than 4DPS but not as fast as 3DPS+1HH, as the stunlock isn't as much of an effective increase at the highest levels since a good speedrunner knows how to maintain pressure throughout a monster's attacks (a stun wouldn't significantly improve on this speedrun kzread.info/dash/bejne/k4yalpaRg83eiZs.html , for example) while the HH is a flat increase which would stack atop it. Remember, this is Rise, not World. HH is now mid-tier DPS, not bottom-tier, and status builds now need to overcome that new contribution.

no. works for all three shot types. works for charging sidestep as well as dodgebolt. this isn't a bug; it's a design decision. that's why it works in more than just this situation.

I really hope they don't remove the animation cancel. A lot of weapons have new cancel tech and it only adds to the experience in my opinion. It's something to learn, it feels and looks cool, and this isn't a competitive game. Having fun is so much more important than worrying about which weapon is getting the best speedrun times. If the elemental modifier stuff wasn't intentional, they should fix it. But intentional or not, they should leave the animation cancel in. It doesn't negatively affect 99% of the people playing the game. And there will ALWAYS be a weapon at the top of the speedrunning charts. People will always chase a new "broken" meta and I hate when developers play the unwinnable game of whack-a-mole with a nerf hammer. It's an endless cycle of everything getting nerfed as soon as something new is at the top. Which only makes the game less fun for the average player that isn't concerned with metas and speedrunning.

is it worth going blast element on rampage bows ? TIA

It's funny because I thought I understood English until today. What I seem to understand is that unlike other weapons, bows all have a different moveset which is a combination of spread, rapid (mid range) and pierce (long range), with pierce being the more optimal in most matchups but rapid having the most diversity. Bows landing a lot of hits simultaneously means that a significant portion of your damage will come from elemental damage which makes elemental builds more viable, which also means that switching to the correct element might justify having a worst moveset with fewer pierce arrows in your rotation. Also of note, two rapid bows with similar attack stats might perform very differently because the total MV% of your three hit combo might vary depending on the amount of "rapid 2" and "rapid 3" in there. No convenient way to guestimate damage before making the bow. Also, different bows encourage swapping your first or your fourth attack for a dodge or a spread shot because of lower performance on one specific attack. No bow does passive status damage but all bows have access to some, but not all coatings. Some bows have a "+" effect for a coating which represents a ???% increase to application rate. One assumes that status damage works similar to elemental in that it has flat MV% so only the number of hits counts, which might mean that in some cases, the "+" might be misleading. To use 50 coatings per hunt, you need your cat to permanently farm mushrooms and you need to check for sales. See also money farming tutorials. Your "A" attack in your three/four hit combo does ??? depending on where you put it. No longer rains rock with high stun damage. Different bows have a different effect, apparently, but notably some seem to create a damage boost or a heal mist on the monster, which I guess it mostly good for other players. Then there are switch skills. Most seem to be bad unless you have a very specific build. ... I need to find a video that just tells me in what order I should be pressing the buttons...

Go to the smithy and select ramp-up weapons then select your weapon and then choose what rampage skill you like.

So, I’ve been hearing allot lately that bow is broken? What’s making it so broken? Is it the builds themselves or is it something specifically wrong with the bow?

The element dmg mod on shots does more then it " says" the calculation should. That combined with how we're naturally stronk, good silkbinds, wpns and some other stuff makes us tip more on the broken side.. personally im fine with it cuz they took away quick shot and i loved that shit

How you guys aim so well...

isnt it more beneficial to get one point on crit boost instead of 1 point in attack? 30% crit damage seems like alot

@jenova2916

it isnt +30% Crit damage increase... it is increasing the (already existing +25% of) crit damage to +30%. so +5% more damage compared to normal crits without crit boost! on the other hand i think he doesnt have crit boost jewels yet, as he uses Ballistics in one of his build (instead of crit boost) as stated.

Kelbi bow good now unlike gen u and with decos like quick load swapping threw all the coating is nice for speed kills. And set ups.

For the narga pierce set, how did you fit in the remaining pierce up? The set is missing one 3 slot. Did you swap an armor piece or replace the listed talisman with something better?

Let's chill on all the "broken" talk. This isn't a competitive game. It's about fun. Some weapons may need adjustments to make them more enjoyable. Also even though bow is insane I still never see it used online. Great build info and tons of data for us nerds though. Thanks for the content, my man.

Depends on the monster/my mood. Bow is definitely better solo because you want easy access to the monster's face, but if the monster has several juicy hitzones I may go in with the bow in multiplayer. I think one reason Bow is so uncommon is that it's just one of the most armor-skill dependent weapons in the game, and even more than in World it requires you to make many different weapons for different situations.

Boken?

Never mained a bow, im looking at so many videos an to be honest im F-lost lol i dont seem to be able to drill the combos and don't get the armor needes. Maybe i shouldt play bow😅 i still want to tho🤣

Don't give up! It takes time! I started without any knowledge about bow, skills and armor sets. I just went to watch some builds and make those as my way of learning them and as a base for my own build. And I use the training ground a lot. If it's still not clicking for you, then I guess you can try other weapon🙂
