When conditions are met, the maximum Affinity reaches 99%.

The best bow for a non-elemental build is the Griefbringer Urstox. This bow has the highest raw attack in the game and can essentially be used against any monster. Typically, Close-range Coating requires you to stand in melee distance from your target, but since we also have Ballistics Lv3, we have the leeway to stand further away while still hitting maximum power shots.
