| Build Merits | This build provides players with a perfect gear set against Volatile and Deeply Volatile Kemono. Our build for the Tempest Bow: Skanda will focus on damage boost as well as stamina and utility boosts that prolong the volley shots from the Haya stance, making it possible to stick more arrows on a Kemono to set for an Otoya shot that ultimately leads to more damage. Note that players can also choose another build path, but we recommend this build as it is not too taxing on resources. Our recommended armor set also provides damage boosts from Desperation, Savage, Solar Protection, and Hawk Eye on top of high defense points and elemental resistances; it also provides stamina boosts that can help prolong the volley shots from Haya stance. To finalize the build we recommend three specific talismans that boost survivability and damage. Pious Cross: Rosary gives the Resurrection skill for a cost of 40 talisman points which leaves us with 10 points to work with. The Attack Talisman: Cicada and Memento of Minato: Remorse give Desperation and Rude Health respectively for 5 talisman points each; totaling 50 talisman points. |

| Build Merits | This build provides players with a strong gear set that can bring down Amaterasu. The weapon focuses on raw damage per second with a high chance for critical hits and poison ailment build up that can synergize with the Bow's rapid fire and would work well against Amaterasu as the poison ailment is one of its weaknesses. The Armor for this build will focus on health boosts, elemental and ailment resistances against Amaterasu's attacks, as well as dodge boosts which can merit from the Bow's playstyle as player's can keep on aiming while dodging. To Finalize the build, we recommend equipping talisman skills that can boost the Parhelion Bow's damage output like Savage, and skills that boost stamina and stamina recovery like Leeway, Fatigue Alleviation, and Core Boost to extend the use time of bolstered Haya (Horizontal) shots. |

| Build Merits | This build provides players with a perfect gear set when hunting Deathstalker. The Ember Bow build will focus on physical and elemental damage boosts and an adequate stamina boost from Leeway. The Bandit Armor set that leans towards a pure kemono-path is heavily focused on resistances against Deathstalker's physical, ice, and freezing attacks but also provides adequate damage boosts like Bridge Burning and One Stroke: Fury with an added stamina bonus from Core Boost. To round up the build we recommend talismans that boost already present skills in the build like Tiger's Den and Core Boost, and skills that boost raw damage like Savage. Note that stacking Tiger's Den is advisable for this build, as Freezing Recovery will alleviate its side effects. |

| Build Merits | This build provides a perfect gear set against all Kemono from Harugasumi way until Akikure Canyon although the Twilight Bow can still be viable until Fuyufusagi Fort. The Twilight Bow has the highest damage output out of all weapons that are obtainable from Chapter 1 and it comes with a Poison Wielder skill that is a weakness of most Kemono except for Fumebeak. The reason we chose the Basara armor set for this build is that it is the most decent armor set obtainable from Harugasumi way and because of its boosts on survivability and versatility against ailments provided by Nostrum Water. To further boost this build recommend talisman skills that boost stamina like Core Boost and Leeway, as well as boosts on raw and elemental damage like Savage and Poison Wielder. |
