Notes
This bow sacrifices its ability to pierce multiple enemies in exchange for longer range (1.75x the true range of tiered bows, plus full benefit from Inspired) and high DPS. While it is worse than endgame options like the Void Bow or Warmonger, the leaf bow is a strong option for the midgame. It also gives a hefty speed boost, allowing its user to dodge more or run faster, given the Archer’s and Huntress’ low base SPD.

However, aiming it can be slightly difficult. The slightly slower projectile speed and wavy projectile pattern make shooting moving targets harder. Bards can negate this difficulty with the Inspired buff, boosting projectile speed and range.

This bow shines with close-quarters, single boss fights, where it is able to tear through many bosses at a rapid pace. The Leaf Bow excels in organized Tombs; not only does its high DPS secure the soulbound damage threshold on the bosses quickly, but the lack of piercing lowers the risk of triggering other Tomb bosses. Regardless, it is recommended to keep another bow for when piercing is useful.
