Rarely brandished and in pristine condition, the old monarchy deemed this exquisite recurve too dignified for all but royalty to handle. Though it remains unproven in practical combat, this bow’s raw potential is unmatched, waiting to be drawn out through pure focus. |

Notes
At first glance, this bow can be seen as a stronger Coral Bow aside from the very slightly lower projectile speed, as its DPS surpasses every bow except the Predator Bow. Warmonger will do more DPS than the Void Bow until ~33/26 DEF and the Harmonious Harp until ~59/47 DEF. Once you go into combat however, the bow becomes weak enough that even the Leaf Bow will deal more DPS at all levels of DEF.
Even so, the aforementioned Leaf Bow has slightly less range and a significantly slower projectile speed, along with the inability to pierce. Warmonger’s arc gap between its shots is small enough to the point that you can make use of the full range, making it on par with the Bergenia Bow in terms of range. This makes the bow extremely versatile because you can use it for crowd control as well as single target DPS at a safe distance.
The Exalted God’s Horn works well with this bow, as both items incentivize not getting hit. If you are still above 90% HP, the horn’s increase and the Warmonger’s DEX decrease will cancel out, allowing for more effective usage. On a Bard, the Mantle of the Monarchy gives a massive VIT boost on proc, which reduces the In Combat duration, which reduces the debuff duration.
Trivia
This bow’s effect of reducing Dexterity could be influenced from the scrapped Ancient Doom Bow, as that bow would have given the player Dazed after taking enough damage.
History
Before Exalt Version 2.3.1.0 (Apr 2022), this item reduced DEX by 15, and stacked differently with other DEX buffs.
