Daedalus Stormbow



The Daedalus Stormbow is a Hardmode bow which rains arrows down from the sky, instead of firing from the bow itself. Each shot fires three to four arrows (two to three while using Holy, Unholy, Hellfire, or Jester arrows), while only consuming a single arrow from the player's inventory. The arrows fall in a wide spread towards the area the cursor was pointed. The Daedalus Stormbow has a chance to be dropped by Hallowed Mimics.

Tips

 * Arrows shot with the Daedalus Stormbow have a tendency to impact and be blocked by terrain or other objects above the target (much like the Starfury). It is therefore best used in wide open areas, especially at the surface, rather than in confined areas.
 * The Daedalus Stormbow synergizes tremendously well with Holy Arrows as each arrow fired will summon two stars. This combination is extremely powerful during early Hardmode, especially against large enemies and bosses like the mechanical bosses.
 * Hellfire Arrows may be a cheaper alternative.
 * Even after its nerf in the Desktop version's 1.4 release, it still absolutely shreds The Destroyer when combined with Holy Arrows and a spot far above the boss's reach. See Guide:The Destroyer strategies for further tactics against the boss.
 * Due to the fact that the player can fire at enemies from a safe enclosed area, it is a very useful weapon even up to the endgame.
 * The Magic Quiver's increase in velocity causes arrows from this weapon to fall faster.

Trivia

 * In, was a skillful craftsman and artist and was seen as a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and power. He invented and built the  for king Minos of Crete, but shortly after finishing it, king Minos had Daedalus imprisoned within the labyrinth. He and his son  devised a plan to escape by using wings made of wax that Daedalus had invented. They escaped, but Icarus did not heed his father's warnings and flew too close to the sun. The wax melted and Icarus fell to his death.
 * The wings that Daedalus crafted were made of feathers and curved to look like those of a bird. Fittingly, the Daedalus Stormbow's limbs appear as a pair of feathery wings.
