Recommended Skills For Heavy Bowgun
Skill Name | Effect Recommended Points | |
---|---|---|
Normal - Rapid Up (★★★) | [Effect] Increases the power of Normal Ammo and Rapid-type arrows. This skill simply increases the power of your bullets. Depending on the weapon you can also opt for Spread Up or Pierce Up. | |
Spare Shot (★★★) | [Effect] Bow and bowgun shots have a chance not to expend coatings or ammo. [Recommended Points] It gives you an up to 20% chance of not using bullets. It is strong if it keeps activating, but it is not stable, so its priority is lower than Rapid Up. | |
Recoil Down (★★☆) | [Effect] Reduces recoil when firing bowgun ammo. [Recommended Points] An important skill that can reduce recoil after shooting. This allows you to not have vulnerable moments. Works well with Reload Speed. | |
Ballistics (★★☆) | [Effect] Shortens the distance before ammo and arrows reach maximum power. [Recommended Points] Skills that go well with penetrating bullets and shotguns. The appropriate distance becomes wider and it becomes easier to move around. | |
Ammo Up (★★☆) | [Effect] Increases bowgun loading capacity. (There is a cap to loading capacity.) [Recommended Points] As the number of bullets loaded increases, the number of reloads decreases, which leads to a substantial increase in firepower. Double the effect when used in combination with Spare Shot. | |
Guard (★☆☆) | [Effect] Reduces knockbacks and stamina depletion when guarding. [Recommended Points] Heavy Bow's guard performance is quite poor, so if possible, I would like to assist with guard performance. However, since the priority is on increasing fire power, the priority on guard performance is low. |
