Bow Class Traits

Bows are the other ranged weapons found in the game. What separates it from Catalyst users is that you will be able to hold down the attack button in order to aim your shots! This makes it more precise when you're trying to focus on enemy weak points!

What Are Classes?

Dictated By Weapons Used
