Chlorophyte Shotbow

The Chlorophyte Shotbow is a Hardmode bow that shoots three arrows per shot but only consumes one arrow. Arrows fired with the Chlorophyte Shotbow cannot be recovered regardless of the type of arrow used.

While the Shotbow has slightly less damage per arrow than the Hallowed Repeater, there is the chance that two or three of its arrows may strike intended targets with every shot. It can also cover a much larger area if fired in the correct direction, and is generally more efficient in terms of arrow consumption than the Hallowed Repeater.

Tips

 * The Chlorophyte Shotbow works extremely well when combined with Hellfire Arrows, due to its ability to summon what are effectively storms of hellfire arrows very quickly. This strategy is more effective against crowds (especially during invasions) than individual opponents, however.
 * The above can also be applied to Holy Arrows for storms of stars.
 * When loaded with any kind of penetrating arrow (Unholy Arrows, etc) this weapon is extremely useful against the boss The Destroyer and the mini-boss Wyvern, making quick work of their health.

Trivia

 * "Shotbow" is a combination of the words Crossbow (or just Bow) and Shotgun.
