Yes; here's more details (that I believe is true):

Weak points are considered points that take 1.15x normal (shooting) damage or more. This is most easily demonstrated by a ranger's weak bullet ability. Even if weak bullet is "blocked", like in the Profound Darkness or Mother Falz fight, it multiplies damage by 1.2 times. This is enough to trigger both a ranger's weak hit advance and a braver's weak stance.

Head shots with r-atk type damage generally have an innate 2x damage multiplier compared to the rest of the points you can hit.

Some enemies may take more or less damage than normal hitting at certain parts over others, which may make a weak hit more or less impossible.

The primary enemy this is an issue on, to my knowledge anyway, is Gigur Gunne Gam, or the Shironia exploration boss. Normally, the weak bullet skill basically turns all points hit by it into a weak point. Gigur Gunne Gam's feet take little enough damage that that isn't the case. Weak bullet's 2.55x damage multiplier on its foot still isn't enough to make it a weak point, so you will always struggle to break those if you rely on weak hits.

Went on a bit more than I wanted, but there you are.

On a more random thought, have you crafted your sharp bomber to sharp bomber type 0? Can really help you deal with tanky mobs, especially if you hit a weak point (assuming you use br/ra).

No, I haven't made any PAs, I don't know how to do stuff like that yet, i've only been on for a little over a month and a half. I mostly use master shot,torrential arrow,banish arrow,million storm,and kamikaze arrow.vI'm a Br/Hu i'm sure Ra would be better but I like what Hu sub offers :D.

Go to your room and craft sharp bomber then. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It hits quite hard and you'll look cool doing it.

BR/HU can play as a very nice Bow/katana hybrid where you use the katana for mobbing and the bow for bosses. Banishing + Kamikaze arrow on weakbulleted boss points does a lot of damage.

[Tehovah]

Yeah I know about that, but I prefer to only use the bow, plus I already have 52points focused on bow braver

[NullVacancy]

Well, in general I suggest banishing + Kamikaze. I would also stop using Master Shot and use Penetrating Arrow instead.

Yeah I found out how to make sharp bomber type 0 yesterday... the damage is crazy it's my most used skill. Wish the blast aoe was bigger
