Now the panic sets in of this being the worst video ever and not helpful and everyone hates me! 😂😂 I hope you enjoy it and please do let me know if there’s stuff missing or wrong 😅
Nah, it's a good video. You explained the tools available and clues on how to use them together. Bow is going to be utterly insane once we get our hands on the rest of the elements and status coatings. My only complaint about bow is that my bow friends are going to be instantly popping all the wounds while I'm trying to aim my melee shots at them 😂
As someone that has been playing Bow since the PSP days.... I love the Coating changes and this is easily the best the weapon has ever been. I can't wait, I'm going to main GS/Bow for sure as my two weapons.(I love that you can bring two weapons with you).
Very Useful. Wilds honestly might be the first MH Game I play where I use Bow regularly. My favorite weapon is still Greatsword but Bow has certainly jumped up to Second Place.
This is the second video I’ve seen from u, the way you explain things is very helpful for me and also very wholesome and genuine in a way lol. Great vid thank you for the tips and tricks
Weird little thing about Power Shot and Power Volley: After the first P. Shot the following P. Shot can be a P. Volley if you don’t hold a directional input. E.g. [Holding a direction during the entire string] C.S.(Charging sidestep)>Q. Shot(Quick Shot)>P. Shot>C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Shot>C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Shot [Without holding a directional input] C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Shot> C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Volley> C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Volley You can switch between P. Shot and P. Volley through the string Excellent video by the way!
This was great, helped me put the pieces together that i was missing. The dash dancing and the fact that tracers make all your shots max level were the two pieces i was missing! Looking forward to testing this out in the next beta or release if we dont get another.
I'm so glad I found your channel, I decided to learn a new weapon a while back (Charge Blade main here) and the Bow was my choice. Going into Wilds I knew I wanted to have both a Charge Blade and Bow on me at all times. Charge Blade has been easy for me to adjust to in this beta, but I was STRUGGLING with my bow play. Your guide has already helped me so much. Bow is definitely different than before, but I really love these changes. Thank you for this guide and for all your other videos. I love your content and I look forward to seeing what other videos you make after Wilds launches 😊🏹
Great guide! Learnt a load of things I didn't pick up on during the beta. I've been debating what to use for Wilds as I like to try and main a different weapon each game and I'm settling on Swaxe and Bow. The bow fucks in this game and I love it!
Thanks a ton for all the info! I didn't know half of the mechanics. Because of your tips I was able to solo Rey Dau in just under 15 minutes! I was never a bow main, but I think that is about to change!
Hey ! Great recap video, thanks ! I jsut happened to have found out another mechanic by chance. When going for a jump shot, you can insert a normal shot in between the dodge and the jump. If you have the tracer set you get a lvl 3 normal shot added to every jump shot ! Thanks again for the always fun and useful content !
@@Ms5000Watts @Ms5000Watts Sadly, I'm not consistent on it just yet. I got it by kinda jittering my controls xD. It went in a fex times tho, definitely usable. I'va also seen it in Shil's Rey Dau speedrun used somewhat consitently. I'm trying to figure out the exact pattern too. xD
1st thing AWESOME guide. Yours is one of the only vids bow vids I've seen that covered the increase in both regular and swallow arrows with tracer! Lol aaaaand 2nd idk if you were able to test this at all but in my experience from beta if you start an animation, ie. Thousand Dragons, and the tracer explodes at any point during this animation due to the 10 second time lapse. The shot will still home into the location and hold charge as well as damage amp from the tracer. Im sure this will only really be applied at super sweaty high level if at all but its an interesting little snippit.
Vid is great. Thank you. Only thing I dont see mentioned unless I missed it is the animation cancel of charge shot into spread shot from rise imwas in the demo which helps with speed. I found it harder to do than rise, though.
Settings tip for bow: Changing aim mode to toggle instead of hold is so much nicer for the hand fatigue on controller! Today I learned that I'm definitely a bow main. The perfect dodges, the jumping oh sh!t evade, the versatility, it all just works perfectly! I feel like I'm good now, but can get great with practice. Definitely S Tier, and so fun to play!
Great guide. Covers everything one would need - new player or veteran otherwise. I have noticed that sometimes, after a charging sidestep into Charged Shot, Circle would do either Power Shot or Power Volley. The inconsistency gets me hit when I commit to a Volley that I never wanted to commit to. It might just be that you only get 1 Power Shot during Dash Dancing and the rest are Volleys (will test it soon). It definitely clashes with World muscle memory, which is a very common feeling I've gotten with some of the other weapons but is also exciting to relearn weapons.
@@Ms5000Wattsassuming you've done the first pshot in ur dash dance, holding a direction will result in pshot, while not holding a direction will give pvolley. Not a bug, its a buff
I've been using bow since 4u, gu world and rise. Recently in freedom unite which I never played. 🎉 I feel this is the best iteration of the bow. You got so much moves rather than the classic charge, sidestep release. Even the arc shot seems worth to cause extra damage when focus a wound. Thou I forget to re equip coatings xd. My only complain is returning to the rapid shot only bow. I really prefer the spread, pierce, heavy (this one hasn't come back since GU) shots. Thou the piercing coating gives me some hope.... but I don't like shot types being tied to a move.
Hey there Ms5000Watts! Charge Blade Main here. I was looking for another Weapon to run with and since i've been always an ok-ish Bow Hunter, this was my first Choice. I took down Rey Dau with it. I found my Way around the Bow's Rotation very quickly but you taught me some good Thinhs here. I didn't know that Powershots with Circle do not use Stamina. That is huge! Thank you so much! I will definitely use the Bow more often since we have 'unlimited' Coatings now. I was never a Fan of having to get new ones after i used them up. It was annoying.😅 Now it's more comfy. Great Video! Subbed
i find just spamming uncharged shots after tracer arrow with power coating to be the best dps and best way to pop a wound. it's like almost 40 damage per shot depending on hit zones.
Well I wish that I would have watched this before the beta ended 😅 Had some fun with bow, but I was not using it to it’s potential. Now I have to wait to actually try it out for real.
Thanks for the in-depth video! Good to note that charge level visualisation was (hopefully) bugged in the beta. Both the classic glow and dots on reticle show only with basic shots. Personally, not a fan of the Tracer. Guided arrows? Sure. Extra explosion. Ok. But max charge level AND apparently no critical distance? (cant confirm if true, only read someone claiming that, even long distance full hit) That’s just too much. And for 1 charge only? It should 100% cost 2, maybe even 3 with this much power, so it shouldn’t be something you always have applied. Hell screw it being tied to gauge. Id prefer you need to make perfect dodge/counter (or even multiple!) to “charge” the arrow to be used. If it is supposed to be this strong (and play styl changing), it should be something to earn to use - like C.Blade pizza cutter is, not on-demand utility. Last note, good to highlight coatings are per shot, not per arrow. Affects attack priority (basic 3 arrow shot vs however many thousand dragons is) and post-application combo opener (charging to max rather than 3 salvos).
The bow class imo is the best for beginners and supporters and is pretty op in wilds esp with the rain fall arrows putting tracer rounds and if your team get multiple wound on them its a 4th of july show lol. Any melee classes are a challenge as you gotta be precise about what you do and how to attack, like them hardcore greatsword players who beat nergigante arch tempered... or bahamut... crazy..
the tracer shot feels very odd. sometimes you take ages to load it like at 5:00. sometimes your character skips 90% of the animation and loads it nearly instantly like at 5:16. i can't tell how to do the instant tracer arrow loading, if someone knows the secret please tell. i've seen speedrunners do it reliably so there must be some method to it the combos on bow now are also very weird. i cannot reliably tell at which point of the combo i'm in when i throw in charging sidestep anymore. sometimes i can still do 2 regular shots then a power shot, sometimes i can only do 1 regular shot and then a power shot, sometimes i do a regular shot and then it skips straight to power volley? huh? also does charging sidestep not increase your charge level if you do it from neutral (ie 0 charge)? i seriously wish someone had a table or rules on how the combos work now everything else with bow seems fairly straightforward, but the tracer animation skip and the combo rules are what i really want a bow guide video to straighten out for me
Someone did mention how to animation cancel in the comments if you can find it. Charging sidestep doesn’t increase your charge if you’re at 0 but can maintain and built post 0 charge. It can all feel a bit random sometimes but there’s been some great explanations on some of those random feeling things in the comments so I’m gonna try and figure it out lol
How do you feel about tracer arrows both making all your arrows max charge, and it also seems to improve the hitzone of where the tracer arrow hits (white numbers to yellow numbers)? I think its completely absurd since that just throws out the need to maintain charge level. The first time i saw thr tracer arrow in the weapon preview, i thought it would just be a gimmicky thing that helps controller aim better or help with breaking a specific part like you've mentioned before, now it has become the single most important thing to maintain uptime on with bow.
I hate that Wilds beta... because I try weapon and I'm shocked how fun it is and think about maining it... and when beta ends, I don't want to go back to World... fucking hell 3 months of waiting
The new coatings are effectively the type of bow. Like Im assuming close range is now something like spread, we also now have pierce coatings, that is basically it. Hopefully Exhaust doesn't have lower damage modifiers making it blunt bow KO. Wondering how blast would work now, like you just do some procs or you spam it boom boom bow
I thought the same thing about close range and piercing! I assume everything else functions as it always has so if you had a blast bow maybe eventually you’d switch off of it when it stops being effective
My only question is: Does the coating apply to the Tracer Arrow? My guess would be no, but just curious. I really wish they would have given us a training dummy besides the barrel. Would have made it much easier to test and practice things. Thanks for the guide! I've never used the Bow, but had fun with it in the beta. Although I hope they make the charge levels more distinct or give us an indicator. I could never tell what charge I was at. Heck, before I watched this guide I thought there were only two charge levels.
I team up with a Great Sword main. They creates the wounds quite fast and I then target those with my bow attacks. Bish-bash-bosh We having Monster stakes for tea.
I’m not sure if I missed it, but do you know how long the tracea arrow lasts. The tracea arrow seems pretty cool so far, especially since it buffs all the shots you shoot after you land the tracea. Also does arc shot home in on the tracea arrow? So far I’m looking at using the switch axe and bow as my two main weapons. Thanks for the awesome video!
I don’t know how long it lasts if you aren’t hitting it, I’ll test that today and I’ll also try and test how much damage it takes before blowing up. It’s going to change a lot when we get different bows doing different damage which I’m excited to see. Arc shots don’t home in on the tracer arrow
They gave so much new fun stuffs for weapons like Bow, Long Sword, and Hammer, but leaves some weapons like Sword and Shield with barely anything new. The downthrust is the only new thing they gave SnS.
Thanks for the video. Confused about one thing. At 15:50 you said we should do the charge step to maintain charge after using the tracer arrow. But earlier in the video you said that while the monster has the tracer arrow, the other abilities are always max charge. Did I misunderstand anything, or is the charge step to maintain max charge unnecessary for the damage rotation?
With a tracer, you will always shoot the max number of arrows. BUT charging level influences how much damage per arrow you do. So yes, there is still incentive to charge your shots.
They actually changed that for wilds! The individual arrows don’t do more damage now you just shoot more with charge step (with this one bow in the beta) I do think dash dancing is still beneficial for shooting quicker tbh
If you have a tracer in yeah you don’t necessarily need to worry about keeping max charge, I think you shoot faster though doing dash dance combos than resetting
Do you feel input lag while dash dancing? I feel like there’s a delay while using charging sidestep. Or is that because of the fps on ps5. Maybe i am just used to playing 120 fps on rise on ps5 hence i can feel it heavy on the hands in wilds.
Tho my computer is too weak to play atm (had 9frames in the beta) I got to saw bow is just way to strong with 3 clicks in tracer mode you get at least 100+dmg and not to mention the amount you get on a wound. Plus the perfect dodge is literally the best in the game. Compare this weapon to something like switch blade and it’s obviously overturned. We don’t even have skills yet and people are getting sub4 min runs with bow. I like the changes from dash dancing but I don’t want to be literally untouchable while playing
on PC When I right click with the weapon sheathed it aims with the slinger instead of pulling the bow out and aiming, is the only way to pull out the bow is to right click and fire at the same time?
Absolutely if you do that you’re kinda chilling. You can honestly just do that and do incredibly well, it’s just fun to start weaving in all the other stuff too! I’m actually super curious about close range coating and pierce coating because it kinda makes me think that spread bow and pierce bow could be back just in a different way 👀 We can always use power coatings with this new system so close range coatings don’t NEED to exist… very curious
Watts you’ve always been the kindest nicest person on dcp. I do think all of you need to think about continuing having TV on the show. I saw on twitter he was comparing trump to Paul from the bible. TV is not a dumb person, he is without excuse to openly support the policies of trump and his hateful agenda. Some people truly don’t know and don’t pay attention, their lives are hard and they’re doing their best. Tv is very privileged and has the time and ability to pay attention learn about policy and make informed decisions. Yet he still chose to support trump knowing the damage and hate of his policies. You and the dcp crew need to have a serious conversation if you want to be collaborating with an individual that supports anti trans, gay, free speech, mass deportation and so on. I feel that in the past y’all have all chosen to be empathetic towards marginalized groups and the values of the show do not align with someone like TV. This is not 2016, no one who is in a position of TV has an excuse for voting for trump unless they also support his policies and agenda. I think for many listeners the values of the hosts and the show would be seen as performance art at most not the issue with tv isn’t addressed. If you have gay, trans, or marginalized friends you owe it to them to break ties and not platform someone who supports such hate. If the show doesn’t support this, then consider yourself leaving and setting the precedent that you will not stand for hate.
@@MysterionZ_Official Sneak up behind the monster successfully without being spotted (or using a ghillie mantle) and you'll get a sneak attack prompt (on PS5 its the circle button)
It’s not over you can literally play right now so this is here for the 24 hours left of the beta but also for when the game launches. I don’t like making quick starter guides for now because I’ve kinda already done that with my bow video in August so I didn’t want to just make the same video…
Now the panic sets in of this being the worst video ever and not helpful and everyone hates me! 😂😂 I hope you enjoy it and please do let me know if there’s stuff missing or wrong 😅

Weird little thing about Power Shot and Power Volley:
After the first P. Shot the following P. Shot can be a P. Volley if you don’t hold a directional input.
E.g.
[Holding a direction during the entire string]
C.S.(Charging sidestep)>Q. Shot(Quick Shot)>P. Shot>C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Shot>C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Shot
[Without holding a directional input]
C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Shot> C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Volley> C.S.>Q. Shot>P. Volley
You can switch between P. Shot and P. Volley through the string
Excellent video by the way!
Is that why it’s sometimes doing it! I was wondering if it’s a bug because the game specifically says only after a power shot. Thank you!
This was great, helped me put the pieces together that i was missing. The dash dancing and the fact that tracers make all your shots max level were the two pieces i was missing! Looking forward to testing this out in the next beta or release if we dont get another.

Only thing I dont see mentioned unless I missed it is the animation cancel of charge shot into spread shot from rise imwas in the demo which helps with speed. I found it harder to do than rise, though.

As a bow main, I can't wait for wilds to come out 🙂
i find just spamming uncharged shots after tracer arrow with power coating to be the best dps and best way to pop a wound. it's like almost 40 damage per shot depending on hit zones.

Good to note that charge level visualisation was (hopefully) bugged in the beta. Both the classic glow and dots on reticle show only with basic shots.
Personally, not a fan of the Tracer. Guided arrows? Sure. Extra explosion. Ok. But max charge level AND apparently no critical distance? (cant confirm if true, only read someone claiming that, even long distance full hit) That’s just too much. And for 1 charge only? It should 100% cost 2, maybe even 3 with this much power, so it shouldn’t be something you always have applied.

They gave so much new fun stuffs for weapons like Bow, Long Sword, and Hammer, but leaves some weapons like Sword and Shield with barely anything new. The downthrust is the only new thing they gave SnS.
The cut at 17:50 shocked me
Thanks for the video. Confused about one thing. At 15:50 you said we should do the charge step to maintain charge after using the tracer arrow. But earlier in the video you said that while the monster has the tracer arrow, the other abilities are always max charge. Did I misunderstand anything, or is the charge step to maintain max charge unnecessary for the damage rotation?
With a tracer, you will always shoot the max number of arrows. BUT charging level influences how much damage per arrow you do. So yes, there is still incentive to charge your shots.
They actually changed that for wilds! The individual arrows don’t do more damage now you just shoot more with charge step (with this one bow in the beta) I do think dash dancing is still beneficial for shooting quicker tbh
If you have a tracer in yeah you don’t necessarily need to worry about keeping max charge, I think you shoot faster though doing dash dance combos than resetting
Thank you so much
Do you feel input lag while dash dancing? I feel like there’s a delay while using charging sidestep. Or is that because of the fps on ps5.
Maybe i am just used to playing 120 fps on rise on ps5 hence i can feel it heavy on the hands in wilds.
I personally don’t feel a delay and must say that on PC things did feel much smoother right away so could be a frames thing
Tho my computer is too weak to play atm (had 9frames in the beta) I got to saw bow is just way to strong with 3 clicks in tracer mode you get at least 100+dmg and not to mention the amount you get on a wound. Plus the perfect dodge is literally the best in the game. Compare this weapon to something like switch blade and it’s obviously overturned. We don’t even have skills yet and people are getting sub4 min runs with bow. I like the changes from dash dancing but I don’t want to be literally untouchable while playing
I want to get my hands on pierce coatings SO BAD
on PC When I right click with the weapon sheathed it aims with the slinger instead of pulling the bow out and aiming, is the only way to pull out the bow is to right click and fire at the same time?
You can hold right click to start charging
@nathanielmadrigal9384 if my bow is sheathed and I hold right click it just pulls out my slinger
@@slanndermcdannder386 my bad, I meant left click 😅. Hold left click to start charging from sheathed. You can then hold right click to start aiming.
Just figured we could animation cancel tracer shot, shaves 0.3 sec but hey bow is sweat.
how?
There has to be a skill in the game that increases the amount of coatings you can load
I understand it now
Oooh, Piercing is back in coating form?! I love RISE piercing bow.
I think as a casual, I'll just start with Tracer then coatings and keep hitting.
Absolutely if you do that you’re kinda chilling. You can honestly just do that and do incredibly well, it’s just fun to start weaving in all the other stuff too! I’m actually super curious about close range coating and pierce coating because it kinda makes me think that spread bow and pierce bow could be back just in a different way 👀
We can always use power coatings with this new system so close range coatings don’t NEED to exist… very curious
@@Ms5000Wattsthis is exactly what I was thinking as well! The devs were so innovative in how they brought now in the 6th gen, it’s really amazing.
We will have to wait few months to find out!
Yeah hell yeah. Bow go brrrr
I think i will start Wilds with bow so I can get practice asap
Some times I did 295 dmg hits with the focus strike
Because you destroyed a wound, most prob
Could be because you destroyed multiple wounds. There’s a damage multiplayer for more wounds popped
I can foresee a lot of arguments between bow and other classes that need wounds for weapon mechanics especially if bow isn't creating them.🤔
We will need some hunter etiquette and let the weapons that gain off wound pops get the wounds lol
Still very confused as to what the optimal damage rotation would be x....x
Throw tracer on, throw power shot and then press buttons as usual tbh lol but! They are changing bow damage so we don’t know for sure
As a bow main I'm excited. But man that long sword is so op
idk , im going for the "Is Flying Swallow a Ninja Gaiden reference" comment, despite that surely isn`t the case
I’m gonna say it definitely is 🤣
@Ms5000Watts thanks I received the 3 tanks of copium in the post from you
PS or PC?
Can you still wall run?
I haven’t seen any walls we can do that off but they might exist
Watts you’ve always been the kindest nicest person on dcp. I do think all of you need to think about continuing having TV on the show. I saw on twitter he was comparing trump to Paul from the bible. TV is not a dumb person, he is without excuse to openly support the policies of trump and his hateful agenda. Some people truly don’t know and don’t pay attention, their lives are hard and they’re doing their best. Tv is very privileged and has the time and ability to pay attention learn about policy and make informed decisions. Yet he still chose to support trump knowing the damage and hate of his policies. You and the dcp crew need to have a serious conversation if you want to be collaborating with an individual that supports anti trans, gay, free speech, mass deportation and so on. I feel that in the past y’all have all chosen to be empathetic towards marginalized groups and the values of the show do not align with someone like TV. This is not 2016, no one who is in a position of TV has an excuse for voting for trump unless they also support his policies and agenda. I think for many listeners the values of the hosts and the show would be seen as performance art at most not the issue with tv isn’t addressed. If you have gay, trans, or marginalized friends you owe it to them to break ties and not platform someone who supports such hate. If the show doesn’t support this, then consider yourself leaving and setting the precedent that you will not stand for hate.
You forgot to talk about sneak attacks 😢
It’s the same for every weapon so didn’t feel necessary to include considering you do the same thing and press the same button
@Ms5000Watts well... Idk how to do it 🙈
@@MysterionZ_Official Sneak up behind the monster successfully without being spotted (or using a ghillie mantle) and you'll get a sneak attack prompt (on PS5 its the circle button)
The mmo like rotation is interesting but not having to aim feels kinda... Dumb
You remind me of the Destiny RUclipsr Datto, Idk why
The Mr. Fruit friend guy?
It’s because we are blood brothers
Smh why do this after the beta is over!
It’s not over you can literally play right now so this is here for the 24 hours left of the beta but also for when the game launches. I don’t like making quick starter guides for now because I’ve kinda already done that with my bow video in August so I didn’t want to just make the same video…
@ fine I love you again. This is an amazing guide btw. Great way to explain how to play the bow. Best guide I’ve found so far tbh. I appreciate it!
First! Woo!
Ayyy thank you! ❤️
This is trash
i find it kinda sad that its a pc beta and all the guides show console inputs
You can change that. I’m using a PS5 controller so I changed my inputs to match my controller. The inputs will match your input
Traysah Arrow 🤌
