Heavy Bowgun (HBG) - Best Skills
| Skill Name | Effect Recommended Points | |
|---|---|---|
| Normal - Rapid Up (★★★) | [Effect] Increases the attack power of a bowgun's conventional rounds or a bow's barrage of arrows [Recommended Points] It simply increases the power of bullets. It can be replaced with enhanced scatter and spread arrows or piercing bullets and piercing arrows, depending on the weapon. | |
| Spare Shot (★★★) | [Effect] Rarely can be fired without consuming a bowgun bullet or bow bottle [Recommended Points] A skill that has up to a 20% chance of not consuming bullets. It is strong if it keeps activating, but it is not stable, so its priority is low. | |
| Recoil Down (★★★) | [Effect] Reduced recoil when firing a round with a bow gun [Recommended Points] Important skill that can reduce recoil after shooting and eliminate skew. Use together with loading speed. | |
| Ballistics (★★☆) | [Effect] Wider distance for bullets and arrows to reach their maximum power state [Recommended Points] This skill is compatible with piercing bullets and shotgun shells. The appropriate distance becomes wider and it becomes easier to stand in the way. | |
| Ammo Up (★★☆) | [Effect] More bowguns are loaded. [Recommended Points] Increasing the number of bullets loaded reduces the number of reloads, which in effect increases firepower. The effect is doubled when used in combination with bullet saving. | |
| Guard (★☆☆) | [Effect] It is more difficult to roll over when guarding and consumes less stamina. [Recommended Points] Since the guard performance of the heavies is quite poor, we would like to assist them with guard performance if possible. However, since the priority is only on firepower skills, the priority of guard performance is low. | |
