Bows

From Terraria Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Bows are a type of ranged weapon that fire arrows as ammunition. Unlike repeaters, the majority of bows are not capable of autofire, especially those obtainable in pre-Hardmode.

All bows will benefit from the bonuses of the Archery Potion, Magic Quiver and its upgrades, and the Shroomite Headgear.

The best modifier for bows is Unreal, with the exception of the Wooden Bow and early ore bows, whose lack of knockback make their best modifier Demonic or Rapid instead.

Types

There are 33 different types of bows, 11 of which are Hardmode-exclusive.
