Multi-Shot Bowazon

Introduction

The Multi-Shot Bowazon is a physical bow build that fires wide volleys hitting whole packs at once. It excels at clearing dense, open maps quickly and depends on high Pierce, strong bow damage, and a good attack speed breakpoint.

Skill Allocation

How to spend your points

1. Level early with simple bow attacks and the best weapon you have until Multiple Shot becomes your main clear skill.
2. Max Multiple Shot and Penetrate first while building Pierce until you reach 100% total Pierce.
3. Then develop Critical Strike and spread the remaining points, for example into Valkyrie for frontline protection.
4. Take Dodge and Evade early for defense; a more aggressive version puts less into Valkyrie and more into avoidance skills.

Final Thoughts

This build suits players who want to clear large screen areas fast and are willing to invest time into a strong bow and gear. Without a good bow, Fanaticism, and high Pierce, it feels considerably weaker.
