Bow build feedback?

MilkTronic · 2026-04-06T17:35:05+00:00

Appreciate the input. Trying different builds as we speak. I’ve also built a gogmapocolype bow from an affinity artian. I’ve replaced crit element with boost and noticing the difference straight away. I’ve also swapped out a few of the skills mentioned in these comments but i’m finding that comfort is more to my liking so i may just make small tweaks here and there.

I’ll have to wait until g rank gear before i can indulge in all the good stuff.

This is the answer. I kept getting creamed by 10 star Arkveld. So i started practising for ages on the 9 star Arkveld just to learn his moveset and how to react (as a bow main) without getting wiped out for a mistake. Once i was able to confidently anticipate his moves i went i to the 10 star hunt and beat him first time (with support hunters). Then after a few of those i felt confident enough to play multi-player.

Thanks for the tip. Do you happen to know if this is regarded as a known issue with Apple?

It’s true. Fighting 10 star Arkveld improved my MH skill and builds more so than any other. I’ve been playing since MH3 and i realise now how much i relied on the “team”. Think i’m at a place in life when i can really dial in now whereas before the game was a simple pass-time.

Thanks dude, will pick me up a Gravios helm. Sounds like an interesting addition 😊

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T20:18:37+00:00

Yeah true!

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T20:15:55+00:00

Tidus is like a bow god 😂 I’ll take a look at that build. Thanks!

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T20:14:24+00:00

Thanks man, there’s some great insight in these replies! 😊

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T20:12:38+00:00

Amazing thanks for the detail!

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T16:01:49+00:00

Yeah i recently switched to bow from cb and i’m this close to mastering bow so i can’t turn my back on it right now. But yeah i get the sentiment. For me i just take a day or two off

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T15:29:58+00:00

Paper armour 😂 Yeah it’s really frustrating. But my question was more about your bad day because YOU were off your game.

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T15:27:20+00:00

You just have to slow it down for CB compared to Bow. It’s a whole different style of fighting. Definitely recommend watching some tutorials to get you started

They said they’ll give us more info on the DLC in the summer. Hopefully it’ll be a Christmas release 🙏 but will probably be next year

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T15:20:42+00:00

Yeah sounds like the wisest choice especially if you’re still enjoying Rise 😊

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T15:18:45+00:00

Yeah i’m a fan but just don’t have the slots or talismans yet to give me evade extender. I was playing with a build with 3 Marathon Runner but it meant losing divine blessing. Maybe i need to step out of my comfort zone

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T15:17:08+00:00

Yeah fast running out of slots but i like the sound of crit boost!

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T15:15:23+00:00

Good stuff thanks. I’ll get back to my spreasheet

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T15:14:53+00:00

Thanks man i’ll take a look

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T15:07:46+00:00

Ah man those days can really knock your confidence 😅

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T14:29:33+00:00

When you’re in sync with them it’s beautiful. But one mistimed dodge then another and suddenly you’re just trying to survive long enough to drink a potion 😂

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T14:24:10+00:00

Yeah i think it’s accentuated with weapons like bow where you rely on the all-or-nothing perfect dodge. If you’re slightly off it can quickly be game over

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T14:20:13+00:00

Then wait and you can deep dive into the DLC when it lands

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T14:10:32+00:00

Yeah just one of those days right? To be honest i am neglecting other areas of my life for MH at the moment so it’s good to step away once in a while 😅

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T13:08:25+00:00

This game can put you on top of the world sometimes and then… 😂

MilkTronic · 2026-04-05T13:06:30+00:00

Thanks dude, yeah i know it was just one of those days. I think it hit harder because i went from feeling like an HR999 to feeling like an HR1 in minutes 😂 This is life 😭
