Albion Online EU In-depth BOW GUIDE: Builds and Strategy 

Here’s my take on your options: Bloodletter: It’s got awesome mobility and that execute potential, but yeah, it can feel a bit weak in 4.1 gear. Still, it’s solid for hit-and-run tactics. Dual Swords: Decent mobility and AoE damage, but it does lean more towards straight-up brawling, which might not be ideal for 1vx situations. 1H Frost: Great for kiting, but it might lack the burst you need to secure kills quickly. Deathgivers: Pretty strong for 1vx with their mobility and burst damage, though they do require some skill and practice to master. They can be pricey to gear up properly. 1H Dagger: Strong single-target burst and some mobility, but you might struggle against multiple opponents without the right defenses. Bows: Regular Bow or Whispering Bow can be great for kiting and sustained damage. Whispering Bow’s E ability helps keep distance, but positioning is key. Carving Sword: A good mix of mobility, damage, and durability. The E ability provides a gap closer and armor shred, making it a strong contender for 1vx. Given your preferences and concerns about cost and survivability, I’d recommend trying the Carving Sword. It’s got a nice balance of everything you need for engaging and disengaging in the mists.

@@ToteTorres69 Thanks a lot for the detailed rundown, appreciated. I think I'm going to give Carving and Bloddletter another go and see which one sticks.

It has to be direct hit, therefore it does work and you SHOULD DEF use it on mistpiercer! this is on ZvZ content if you choose to take it on something else then I don't recommend you using the explosive arrows

@@ToteTorres69 may be its true but i have used mistpiercer in 100s of zvzs and small scales never seen explosive arrows proc on E and even in your demonstration you can see even after using all the E phases you still had 10 explosive arrows remaining below your name but the explosive arrows were consumed in case of whispering bow ._. may be i am wrong idk xd

post watching the video, which bow while doing other pve activities like gathering - longbow I would think from the vid

WARBOW, is the best for chill gathering and solo content overall, after that the badon, then longbow, hope you enjoyed it!

@@ToteTorres69 Thanks. It's a good video - although even just a couple of hours in bow feels pretty terrible compared to curse staff or nature staff that ive tried so far :(

Yeah, sadly thats the case :C you have to literally force yourself to like it

They doo, it feels like you CANT make mistakes with them

​@@ToteTorres69exactly!
