Strategy Guide

The risk was calculated... but I'm bad at math.

This section outlines a strategy. Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

The Mechanical Bow deals more damage than its Primal counterpart, but its reload is slightly slower.
- This gives a weaker DPS, but if you are careful with your shots, they can deal more damage to opponents in large bursts.
