What are you thoughts on the bow and arrow?

It's very rhythm based and Necrodancer trained me well. I like it, searching for the perfect position for the big heavy attack is a lot of fun for me. Only recently noticed holding for as long as possible actually deals more damage than focus hits, so I'll have to integrate that into my strategy.

It was also super easy to pick up, unlike the cannon which feels very clunky at first. I got good on the bow in my first hunt.

Some of the bows have pretty cool abilities. The teleport one is crazy, but the garlic shot feels a bit hard to earn and utilize in shooting yourself into a group and getting every rot at once often. You end up needing that ability often with the teleport but you'll rarely earn it fast enough.

The boss that gives me most trouble with bow is Owlitzer. Keeps moving and I have to rely on stun phases, but when mobs come out it becomes chaos.

Mastering the bow is quite challenging. You need to constantly re-position yourself for the best output upon shooting the arrow at the right timing every time, while avoiding the danger.

However it's significantly rewarding if you do the right thing. You can make almost every attack into focused shots, and landing the heavy attack at the very right spot deals satisfying amount of damage to enemies. Piercing ability also is definitely useful without a doubt.

Hows does the heavy attack even work? It says that you need to hit the enemy with the tip to get bullseye but I haven't gotten this to work.

For bullseye you need to land the "focus" heavy shot on the exact spot the enemy is standing.

The damage is tripled I believe and has a small aoe so you can get the surrounding enemies with it as well.
