Hornbow

This article is about the bow type. For the weapon with the same name, see Hornbow (weapon).

A hornbow is a bow type. It has medium range, the slowest attack speed and a medium arc. Hornbows also have an extra 10% armor penetration. Because of these traits, it's primarily used for spikes.

• Bow attack skills with specified activation times and Deft Strike can bypass the slow attack speed of the hornbow.
