Chlorophyte Shotbow



The Chlorophyte Shotbow is a Hardmode repeater crafted using Chlorophyte Bars. It shoots 2–3 /  2–4 arrows per shot but only consumes one arrow, as with all other multi-shot bows. Arrows fired with the Chlorophyte Shotbow cannot be recovered regardless of the type of arrow used.

Tips

 * The Shotbow's lower base damage can be compensated for by using Ichor Arrows, which decrease defense.
 * The Chlorophyte Shotbow is a devastating weapon when used with Holy Arrows, providing great single-target while also summoning storms of 6 to 12 stars per shot, which offer crowd control. It is one of the best weapons to use against Plantera.
 * While the Shotbow has less base damage per arrow than the Hallowed Repeater, the spread is tight enough that targets will usually be hit with more than one arrow per shot, resulting in higher damage output overall.
 * However, the Hallowed Repeater remains superior to the shotbow when using piercing arrows (with the possible exception of Hellfire Arrows against dense crowds), due to the latter's anti-synergy with piercing arrows.

Trivia

 * Shotbow is a portmanteau of the words ' and '.
 * All existing Vulcan Repeaters in 1.3.0.1-equivalent worlds were replaced by Chlorophyte Shotbows upon updating.
