How to Use the Wildfire Hunter Bow

Mid-Range Combat

The Hunter Bow is the most versatile among all the bows in the game and is best used against targets at a medium distance. They have moderate speed and accuracy, and inflict an average amount of damage and tear compared to other weapons.

Elemental Damage

This weapon can inflict both Fire damage and Acid damage on enemies. Elemental damage applies additional effects on their targets, such as dealing damage over time or making them more vulnerable to attacks. Certain types of elemental damage are also more effective against some enemies.

Best Used on Higher Ground

This weapon has perks which make it highly effective when used on enemies while on higher ground. You can increase the effectiveness of these perks by upgrading your weapon.
