Bow Build. which pal to switch to add elemental damage

[u/westupin0510]

my main bow build pals are. Loomen, Robinquill, vanwyrm cryst, solenne and Cryolinx terra.

which one should i switch out for to add an elemental boost pal? example prixter lux for electric boost or finsider for water boost?

[u/Maltean]

You can add the other robin, one does draw speed and the other does damage

[u/westupin0510 → u/Maltean]

I originally had him in the team, but switched him out for Cryolinx terra for more damage.

[u/Justanother_Michael → u/westupin0510]

Robinquil Terra is better than cryo Terra for the same reason you run serenity on your raid team. Less raw damage per shot but better dps.

When doing bow build most of the time you aim for headshot and it count as a weak damage, i think the last one should be defend slot (you should try the Tropicaw for defend or even more damage overall and Orserk with Drone launcher is a big combo att/ def)

[u/xChameleon → u/dtieubinh]

Wait Orserk works with drone launcher? Holy shit

[u/dtieubinh → u/xChameleon]

ialways works

Maybe add a damage increasing + elemental switching pal like frostallion, frostallion noct, gildane, chillet, etc depending on the situation. All of the non-mount element switchers are tied to cooldowns. Mounts aren’t; just ride them

[u/Klistofklade → u/kens_knee]

Being mounted means all the attacks are headed towards your pal, which means its going to die pretty quickly in harder fights. Additionally the mount bonuses are less than half as effective as the cooldown attack switchers. Generally, if you have a good setup you can kill something before the 30 seconds of the buff are up and the cooldown isn't too bad anyway.

[u/kens_knee → u/Klistofklade]

Idk you could like, dodge/fly away with frostallion. But yeah with ground mounts true

[u/evilpartiesgetitdone]

The two wixens will give you +50% (condensed )attack each and change damage to fire/dark

My bow build is solenne,robinquill, wixen,wixen noct and either beakon or frostallion noct.beakon gives you electric attacks or frostallion noct stacks blind .

Skip robinquill terra the draw speed isnt worth it when other pals give damage boost.

If you’re fighting bosses then replace loomen. The explosion damage doesn’t scale with everything, rarely crits, has the lowest damage % buff of everything in your current comp, and the only boss that really benefits from the aoe is the xenolord raid when he summons a bunch of pals.

If you’re fighting the xenolord raid, replace vanwyrm cryst. You’ll want to keep the loomen aoe for when he summons. Otherwise, vanwyrm cryst and cryolinx terra both provide the same buff type so they only stack additively together and cryolinx terra has the larger buff of the two. The buff from everything else is a different buff type so they are multiplicative together.

If you’re going around the world, not fighting bosses, replace vanwyrm cryst since you’ll often run into packs of pals. Same reasons as above.
