How to Use Shadow War Bow

Shock Arrow

	Ridge-Wood (x10) Metal Shards (x5) Sparker (x5)

This low damage ammo is good for temporarily stunning smaller enemies. Because of the low damage that it deals, we do not recommend using this for direct combat unless the machine has Shock canisters or Shock vulnerabilty like Stalkers.

Freeze Arrow

	Ridge-Wood (x10) Metal Shards (x5) Chillwater (x3)

This arrow also deals low damage, but is useful for freezing machines with Freeze cannisters or Freeze vulnerability like Scorchers and Daemonic Machines.

Corruption Arrow

	Ridge-Wood (x10) Metal Shards (x5) Metalburn (x5)

This ammo deals no damage but can corrupt machines and make them attack other machines. This can temporarily turn the tide of battle in your favor when successfully used.
