Best Bow Skills

Best Damage Skills

These skills make it possible to deal extra damage! Aim for these skills for maximum DPS to defeat those monsters easier and finish those quests faster!

Best Skills Explanation
Element Attack
★★★
The Bow is at its most powerful when built as an Elemental weapon, and so the appropriate Element Attack skill is mandatory for boosting damage.
Weakness Exploit
★★★
Weakness Exploit grants large amounts of Affinity when hitting weak spots, which Bow can take advantage of with its constant attacks and Tracer arrows.
Agitator
★★★
An excellent source of raw damage and affinity, especially in the late game since monsters tend to get angry often.
Critical Element
★★★
This is an excellent skill for pushing Elemental damage even further, as it increases Elemental damage when you land a Crit.
Burst
★★
Burst is a skill that is easy for Bow to trigger with its multi-hit shots. Just note that it requires constant offense for the best returns.
Spread/Power Shots
★★
This skill increases the strength of the Bow's strongest shots, the Power Volleys. Definitely consider this after the essential skills for more damage.
Special Ammo Boost
★★
Increases the damage of the special attacks from your bow such as Wyvern Piercer, Thousand Dragons, and Tracer.
Critical Boost
The Bow is a weapon that likes to stack Affinity, and this skill increases the damage of Critical Hits. Note that it does not affect Elemental damage, however.
Attack Boost
This skill increases Attack, which amps the base damage output of all the Bow's attacks. It prefers Elemental damage more, so add skills that boost that first before this.
Critical Eye
This skill grants flat Affinity, and shines when used with other Affinity-granting skills to push the Bow's damage further. There are more efficient skills for Affinity that should be prioritized, however.

Best Comfort Skills

These are skills that make managing weapon mechanics a lot easier. Damage is only part of the equation - taking time to slot in comfort skills that increase consistency & comfort will also increase overall DPS!

Best Skills Explanation
Constitution
★★★
Constitution works double-duty as both a Comfort and a Damage skill, as reducing the Stamina needed to fire arrows leads to more attacks.
Stamina Surge
★★★
Similarly, Stamina Surge helps increase damage by regenerating stamina quicker to allow for more attacks, or for evading.
Evade Extender
★★
Increases the distance covered when Dodging or using Charging Sidestep, allowing for easier evasion of attacks.
Evade Window
Increases the duration of Invincibility Frames when dodging, adding more safety when evading.
Marathon Runner
Decreases the Stamina needed to sprint and charge shots. That being said, Bow often skips charging with its combos, so use only as needed.

Hello! Thank you for pointing this out and our apologies for the mistake. The button link for the Sere-Gore Adrenaline Bow should now be correctly linked to weapon's High Rank builds page.

The new serg+gore bow build detail link is wrong. It’s sends you to the Insect Glaive build.
