Best Use

This bow really shines when you're facing machines that are weak to Shock damage. Hitting them with this bow will stun them, giving you a great opening to land some powerful attacks or reposition yourself. Warrior Bows in general are fantastic for building up elemental status effects quickly because they fire so fast, though they trade off some raw damage for that speed. It's also a solid choice for tackling those challenging Hunting Ground trials!
