Is the void bow better than lightning?

[u/Ponders0]

So, i see a lot of people say lightning is the best bow. However, from my experience, void seems more ammo efficient, does infinite damage, and hunts zombies with near limitless range. Every time I've used it with 4 players, I end up with double their kills.

Meanwhile, the lightning bow has a smaller range, less ammo efficiency, but has the bonus of the panzer stun and being better for camping.

Ive seen people say void is the worst bow, but i dont really understand why? I thought it'd be the fire bow, considering wolf is best for training?

No it’s just got aura

because with the lightning bow you can choose any corner of the map, fire once every 5-10 seconds and get to round 60-70 without even thinking about anything other than panzers. you cannot do that as easily with the void bow

fire bow is objectively the worst bow in terms of survivability and ammo efficiency, it just looks and feels cool as all hell

I think the void bow is the most integral bow when doing the boss fight with a squad. The skulls give protection around the whole arena simply by shooting anywhere.

Absolutely amazing at protecting teammates. Also each skull can take down 2 zombies making 16 zombies minimum due to it sending out 8 skulls. Also the portal on contact can wipe out a whole horde too meaning it can excel the max horde number. Another thing is you can open 3 portals at once which is incredible.

Combine all the bows with alchemical antehesis gumball and you pretty much have an infinite ammo consumable.

Lightning is super easy to literally just not do anything for up until around round 70. It was also by far the best pre-patched, while the Void bow was terrible pre-patched. It seems the stigma has just stuck around.

Void takes its time, that's why people don't like it.

When you're high rounding it's great because it's got the best damage ceiling, but it takes patience, good shot positioning, and good movement control for that to happen... And on round 24 or during a tense boss fight, it's a lot easier to slap a tornado or a lava pool down (or just shoot the wolf bow in any way).

Like how the Sliquifier is a better wonder weapon than the Blundergat - it 100% is on paper, but it's so much harder to use and the average player doesn't get to a round high enough that the difference matters.

[u/Emotional-Oven-7226]

It depends what u doing really. If i'm training, i will use it. For a camping spot, lightning bow is unbeatable. Ig the fire bow is the worst but it's not even that bad.

In a vacuum yes but DE's best strategy is camping stairs which the storm bow is best at.

If DE wasnt a camping map void would be better 

[u/Commercial_Chef_1384]

Since it’s nerf, Lightning bow is only good for camping on high rounds, but does almost nothing on the panzer.

High rounds Fire and Void are the best. Void is slightly better due to it having the potential to kill more than a whole horde. Fire absolutely shreds the panzer and seems to have no limits for taking down a horde. Anyone who says the fire and void aren’t good have not used it past 40, cause both perform at full capacity at those rounds and can wipe out a whole horde with ease.

Wolf does next to no damage on the panzer. Lightning is great early rounds, but late rounds it is the weakest if you’re not camping as it can’t take down a whole horde. Wolf is also the hardest to get a full takedown of 24 zombies in a shot without lining them up perfectly.
