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 auto-firing bow which can pierce and ricochet while unaffected by gravity. However, the Tsunami can outdamage it against single targets.
 * The Pulse Bow is an excellent tool for finding floating islands if you haven't discovered them already, as the arrows out-speed Meteor Shot.
 * Because of the piercing and ricochet abilities, this bow is useful in confined spaces like the Dungeon.
 * Because the Pulse Bow cancels additional arrow effects, arrow damage is the only factor one should consider in choosing which arrow type to use with it. The highest base damage arrow is currently the Venom Arrow.
 * With Venom Arrows, its base damage can reach about 82. This is without modifiers, accessories, or armor that increase arrow damage, such as the Shroomite armor.
 * The Bow has 10% more critical strike change than most other bows.

Trivia

 * Its color scheme appears similar to that of Shroomite-based armor and equipment.
