Hellwing Bow



The Hellwing Bow is a bow found in 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. Additionally, the bats will dissipate once hitting a surface. Other arrows will not lose their special properties, but will inherit the inaccuracy of the bow.

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, especially if paired with Hellfire Arrows.
 * Because of its fast use time, infinite piercing, and comparatively high knockback, the Hellwing Bow is a very good crowd control tool. It is even viable throughout early Hardmode. The Endless Quiver, an ammunition type well suited for the bow, then also becomes available.

Trivia

 * The Hellwing Bow can be considered an indirect upgrade of the The Bee's Knees.
 * This bow fires just a little slower than the, making it the second fastest firing bow-type weapon, even faster than any repeater. On the contrary, it has the lowest velocity of all arrow-firing weapons.
 * On the, existing Sharangas were replaced with Hellwing Bows upon updating to the 1.3.0.1 equivalent.
