Hellwing Bow

The Hellwing Bow is a bow acquired from Shadow Chests found in the Underworld. It converts normal Wooden Arrows into flaming bat projectiles that travel in a semi-straight line and can pierce infinitely. This is countered by the fact that the bats are fired in a ~30° cone and therefore can be very inaccurate at long distances. Other arrows won't lose their special properties, but will inherit the inaccuracy of the bow.

Its best Modifier is Unreal.

Tips

 * This bow, while significantly inaccurate, deals unusually high damage at its rate of fire for pre-Hardmode weapons. It is best used with wooden arrows, and at closer ranges or on large targets to lower the effects of its occasional misfires.
 * In addition, worm-type enemies can suffer extreme amounts of damage from the flaming bat projectiles due to the pierce effect, making the Underworld's native Bone Serpents easier to deal with.
 * This bow is very effective against the Wall of Flesh if you use Hellfire Arrows.
 * The Endless Quiver makes this bow a very viable weapon through early hardmode.
