How to Use the The Sun Scourge

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.

Because it is a legendary weapon, this bow causes significantly more damage than most other Hunter Bows in the game, and has several perks which grant many benefits in combat.

Elemental Damage

This weapon can inflict Fire damage, Frost 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.
