Early lead ballistics and precision firing
Shaped at an anvil from 7 Lead Bars, the Lead Bow offers sturdy ranged defense for archers. It launches arrows across long distances, inflicting 9 base ranged damage at 27 use time. This allows players to eliminate dangerous surface predators, cave creatures, and floating eyes while keeping safely out of melee reach, conserving healing potions during early surface exploration and crossing hazardous surface biomes.
Ranged progression stepping stones and optimal tuning
This bow slightly edges out the Iron Bow in both damage and firing speed, making it an attractive early choice for ranged builds. It functions well as a budget weapon when conserving metals for early armor suits and mining tools. Pairing it with Frostburn Arrows or Jester Arrows adds valuable piercing and light subterranean illumination while hunting heart crystals and chests. The best prefix to aim for is Unreal.
Trivia
- The Lead Bow fires slightly faster and hits harder than its standard iron counterpart.
- Smelting the 7 bars required for this bow consumes 21 raw lead ore.
