Pulse Bow

The Pulse Bow is a unique post-Plantera Hardmode ranged weapon. It fires a high-velocity white bolt that is unaffected by gravity and can pierce or ricochet five times, or fly for 3.5 seconds (about 480 blocks), before dissipating. It can be auto-fired by holding down the attack button. It is sometimes sold by the Traveling Merchant after Plantera has been defeated.

The best Modifier for the Pulse Bow is Unreal.

Tips

 * It is generally considered one of best bows in the game, due to the fact that it is the only bow with auto-fire, fully piercing, and ricocheting fast arrows which additionally are unaffected by gravity.
 * The Pulse Bow is arguably the best tool for finding floating islands, as the arrows out-speed Meteor Shot.
 * Because of the piercing and ricochet abilities, this bow is useful in confined spaces like the Dungeon.
 * With Venom Arrows its base damage can reach about 82. This is without modifiers, accessories, or armor that helps arrow damage, such as the Shroomite armor.

Trivia

 * Its color scheme appears similar to that of Shroomite-based armor and equipment.
 * Its name may derive from how a ricocheting arrow creates a zig-zag pattern similar to the pulse reading on a heart monitor.
