How to Use the Firestorm Warrior Bow

Short-Range Combat

Warrior Bows HFW

The Warrior Bow is the quickest and most agile among all the bows in the game and is best used against targets at a close distance. They are incredibly fast and can be used effectively even when not fully drawn.

Elemental Damage

Fire Damage HFW

This weapon can inflict Fire damage, Acid damage, and Shock 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 along with Melee Attacks

This weapon has perks which increase its damage after a successful melee attack. This makes it a great bow to use alongside Spears. You can increase the effectiveness of these perks by upgrading your weapon.
