Notes
This bow possesses very high DPS at the cost of having the same range as tiered daggers. In spite of this, it only fires 1 shot, keeping its true range at 5.6 tiles, which is higher than most tiered bows and just under the Coral Bow, allowing it to do more consistent damage from a safer distance. The other drawback of this bow is that the shots have an amplitude which causes them to alternate left and right, which makes it much harder to aim than most other bows that shoot mostly straight.

It outdamages nearly all other bows and only loses at lower DEF to bows such as the Bow of Deep Enchantment and Predator Bow, both of which have a much lower true range. At higher levels of DEF it is beaten by the Bergenia Bow which possesses much higher range but does not pierce through enemies. It also always outdamages the Leaf Bow but does have a shorter range and is somewhat more difficult to aim.

In spite of its disadvantages such as its lower range, its wavy shot pattern, and its status as a rare drop from the end-game Void Entity, making it hard to obtain and replace if lost, this bow can be used as an effective main bow where the user is comfortable with the shorter range.
