Bow Introduction
Back in the day, bows and arrows were the ultimate tools of destruction in any warrior's arsenal. These age-old weapons have a rich history, dating all the way back to mythical times. Just take the legendary tale of Hou Yi shooting down the sun! Now that's what we call firepower. Let's break down what makes our Bows stand out from the crowd!

Now, the cool thing about the Bow is its ability to inflict IGNITE, making it a perfect match for heroes like Gru and Eri who thrive on that IGNITE DMG boost. And let's not forget, with its epic DPS Multiplier and super long-range capabilities, pairing the Bow with long-distance Characters is a no-brainer. So, how should they be combined exactly? Here are some of my insights about it!
The Bow is the first Team DMG Boosting weapon. Now, does that remind you of Kukik, who can also provide Team DMG Boost? Kukik inflicts Tearing Marks on enemies with his Ultimate Skill, Gale Plume. If he releases his skills when enraged, it not only enhances his Falcon but also boosts the entire team's ATK. That, plus the Bow with its Team DMG Boost, your DMG will shoot through the roof!
It's also a Weapon with Debuff DMG Bonuses. Pair it with Nadia, the only Character currently with healing powers, and they'd work wonders. With a Bow and its Debuff DMG Bonus, Nadia's healing effects can be amplified to the max.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to pair the Bow with heavy single-shot Characters like Scarlett and Eva. Them and the Bow's great single DMG and range would be a match made in heaven. The possibilities are endless, Commanders! We can't wait to see more creative combinations you come up with.
