Description

Bow is a gun that fires arrows. When fully charged, arrows will pierce through enemies. Arrows can be released early to deal less damage.

Synergies

Fairy Bow:

If the player also has BombBomb , charge time is halved and the Bow has a chance to fire an extra arrow, similar to the Shadow BulletsShadow Bullets effect. It also gives Cat Bullet King ThroneCat Bullet King Throne the same effect when the bow is held even though it's not part of the synergy.

Slings and Arrows:

If the player has SlingSling , the Bow can be charged longer to fire a special arrow that deals 50 damage.

Sniper Woof:

If the player has WolfWolf , Bow's reload time is decreased by 30%. Standing still for long enough causes the player to glow yellow, making the Bows shots deal 50% more damage. Sniper Shells and Professionals that spawn while Bow is held become permanently charmed.
