Bow of the Clever is a Royal Arm Weapon.

How to Obtain

Optional Royal Arm. Found in Balouve Mines, southern Leide.

Movesets

  • Basic combo: Shoot with the crossbow. No reloading. Bolts travel through enemies and can hit multiple foes. Damage drops off the further you are from the enemy.
  • Any directional input + O: Dash in that direction. Might have I-frames. Quickly release and re-push the stick to make Noct jump in the air and begin aerial combo.
  • Aerial combo: Shoot once.
  • Phase-counter: Shoot.
  • Warp strike: Warp near the enemy and shoot them 4 times point-blank.
  • Note: Like most ranged weapons, the Bow uses magic stat in damage calculations.
  • How to use: Shoot stuff. You have amazing mobility to kite enemies. Works best with magic loadout. Also, try Overwhelm with this thing.

Additional Information

  • Unique warp strike: Noctis will not strike initially, rather, he will set up for a barrage of arrows at point blank range. Aims high for some reason, and will miss most enemies except large ones.
  • Directional input during fire will make Noctis perform a quickstep, similar to daggers. Fully invincible during the duration. Releasing the directional input and inputting it again during the dodge performs an MP-free airstep.
  • Damage is greatly reduced as you go farther from your opponent. Kind of weird how a ranged weapon is strongest up close.
  • Trait: Overpenetration. Arrows will continue past enemies to hit other enemies behind. Good for multi-encounters, but each enemy struck will also drain your health, which can lead to a quick death.
  • Pro-Tip: Combining with Overwhelm gives it an insane fire rate and damage. You can enter danger state in Overwhelm, so be careful you don't accidentally drain all of your health.
