| Being able to roll for Berserk as a talisman with Vigor melding opens more options for an infinite stamina build. Rolling for Lv.2 Berserk is possible and recommended, but the build can work with just a single level of the skill. While Berserk can let you survive several attacks that would've otherwise been a cart, it's still best to avoid getting hit to not have to swap to the Red Scroll to heal up and slow the drain.
Berserk is key to this build since the Blue Scroll easily activates Strife's maximum boosts and infinite stamina. However, maintaining at least 60% red health is necessary to keep these buffs. This can be accomplished with Kushala Blessing Lv.3 to mitigate the drain, either an Immunizer or Gourmet Fish to boost recovery, and Lv.4 Super Recovery Dango. Blood Rite is also included to heal up when attacking broken parts and to activate Blood Awakening. Palicoes with the Healing Clover Bat are also great to have for additional recovery. Spread bows are our main recommendation for this build, as these have a higher damage output and synergy with Dodgebolt. However, this also works as a Rapid or Pierce build by swapping the appropriate decorations. For Bows with less than a single Lv2 slot, they'll have to give up a level of Critical Element. Those with additional slots should aim to get Reload Speed or Maximum Might. |

In Free Title Update 5, the heavenly armor of Amatsu descended from the skies. Three pieces of this armor introduced a new skill; Heaven-Sent. This skill bestows its users powers when they manage to not get caught in any attacks. At level 3, it negates stamina depletion. This is perfect for Bow users who, with their kit, excels in making sure the monster has a hard time getting their colossal hits in! Be sure to utilize Dodgebolt as much as you can with this playstyle. Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax's armor skill, Dragon Conversion, converts elemental resistances you get from attacking with the Blue Swap Scroll to elemental damage when you switch to the Red Swap Scroll. This is a powerful skill to use with elemental builds and for weapons that are able to land hits continuously. Be sure to start fights with the Blue Swap Scroll first and switch to Red only when the elemental resistance logo appears at the top of your health bar. Also take extra care when fighting with the Red Swap Scroll as your elemental resistances will all be 0. For affinity, we optimized skills like Latent Power, Weakness Exploit, and, thanks to TU5 introducing it as a decoration, Bloodlust. With all of this activated, it is possible to deal 100% affinity on weakspots. To further increase this damage, we also slotted Attack Boost and Coalescence. We slotted in the Bow Charge Plus skill to increase the weapon's charge shot to level 4. With this in mind, we chose the best Bows in their respective elements with a Spread Level 5 on their Level 4 Charge Shot to make sure significant damage is dealt. |

| A DPS meta bow for Sunbreak's Title Update 3. We slot in the necessary stamina skills and elemental DPS skills to ramp up the bow's elemental damage through the roof while minimizing down time due to stamina management. Thanks to Title Update 3, we now gain access to Teostra Blessing and Kushala Daora Blessing through level 1 decorations but the build will need to sacrifice Reload Speed to slot in the Ironshell decoration that is needed to further increase the DPS of Ice and Water elemental bows. Thankfully, the Risen Teostra legs innately have Teostra Blessing Lv. 2, so this is not the case for fire elemental bows. |

This is a new non-meta infinite stamina build for the Bow! It utilizes the Chaotic Gore Magala set and the new Kushala Daora's Blessing skil + Recovery Up to maximize the uptime of Berserk which effectively grants us an almost infinite amount of stamina if no damage is taken during the hunt. While having no damage taken may sound intimidating, this build does feature an infinite amount of dodge from Charging Sidestep which allows us to play around the field easily while outputting high amounts of DPS. With this build, we also reach an almost hundred percent affinity without any weakness exploit which allows us to output a high amount of DPS regardless of the monster's hitbox we are hitting. Make sure to always watch your HP bar as having less than 60% red gauge will cause your stamina consumption to start! Once hit, make sure to cancel your Berserk state then recover your HP before jumping into the fray once again! Take note that the bow's decoration slots are not considered into our current build and can be supplemented with more decorations such as Burst or Foray to increase the build's DPS even further. |

Build Notes (Dereliction and Non-Dereliction)
| Build Merits and Notes |
|---|
| Two variations of this build are presented; the 'Risky' Dereliction Build and the 'Safe' Non-Dereliction Build.
The 'Risky' Dereliction Build boasts significant firepower with damage boosts from Dereliction and at least two levels of Coalescence. The trade-off is that with Dereliction and Bloodlust active, your health degenerates faster at the early stages of the fight. This will require you to safely position since you need to be close to the monster to get the most out of your spread shots. We recommend the Dodgebolt switch skill for this playstyle. The 'Safe' Non-Dereliction Build has a slightly lower dps compared to the first one. However, this is replaced with comfortability of not worrying about the qurios eating your health bar. This build also makes use of Lucent Nargacuga's vambraces, the Lambent Wristrays. This armor piece has an inherent 3 levels of Evade Window and 2 levels of Adrenaline Rush. With this armor piece, it's easier to get extra damage boosts while evading. With this in mind, we also recommend the Dodgebolt switch skill for this build. These builds assume that no Armor Augmentations have been made. |

Build Notes
| Build Merits and Notes |
|---|
| This is a Dragon Elemental bow build that utilizes a monster's elemental weakness to your advantage. By having Dragon Attack at Lv.5 paired with Critical Element at Lv.3, it increases your elemental damage a significant amount. Having Critical Eye at Lv.4 gives you a chance to deal more damage since the Crimson Plume Bow has 0% affinity. With a Lv.3 Burst, it should increase your attack and elemental damage. For added stamina management, consume Invigorating Dango for the Dango Fighter effect. We recommend using Close-Range Coating and Power Coating for this build. You can swap out Flaming Espinas Heel with Rakna Greaves X for both its Lv.2 Stamina Surge and Lv.3 Constitution if you don't have a talisman with decent Constitution stats. We also recommend upgrading your weapon to have the Affinity Boost and Elemental Boost augmentations. |

| A full elemental bow armor set featuring several affinity skills to bump up Critical Element's damage! We also get lv.4 Constitution levels to maximize our powershots, charging sidesteps, etc. We do not easily get high affinity levels in this build with 50% coming from weakspots so make sure to maximize this by focusing monster weakspots or Critical Element and the whole build's damage output will suffer! |

Aside from Rapid shots, it also has a natural level 4 charge shot allowing us to remove the Master Bow Feather for a better head piece! |
Best Skills and Explanation
Best Damage Skills
These skills make it possible to deal extra damage! Aim for these skills for maximum DPS to defeat those monsters easier and finish those quests faster!
| Best Skills | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Bow Charge Plus ★★★ |
Increases maximum charge level, making it possible for your Bow to reach its maximum potential. This is a must-have skill for any endgame Bow Build, and a skill you should start considering when making one! |
| Charge Shot Type Up ★★★ |
Increase your Charge Shot damage even more with this skill, which greatly contributes to your DPS! We recommend maxing this skill out before anything else. Normal/Rapid Up | Spread Up | Pierce Up |
| Weakness Exploit ★★★ |
A staple skill for any meta build. Increases your affinity when hitting weak spots by 50% at max rank, increasing your DPS significantly. |
| Element Attack ★★★ |
Sunbreak featured buffs for elemental damage, making elemental builds viable. Max out this skill to increase damage against monsters weak to a specific element and watch your numbers go up! Best used with Spread Bows. Fire | Water | Ice | Thunder | Dragon |
| Critical Eye ★★★ |
Bows can do continuous attacks, so make sure to raise your affinity to get the most of out the weapon's DPS. Aim for 80-100% affinity! |
| Critical Boost ★★★ |
Amplifies critical strike damage, increasing your DPS on high-affinity Bow builds. |
| Burst ★★★ |
Fast, continuous hits let this skill shine to its full potential, something the Bow can often do! Max this skill out or put in at least a level to feel a jump in your DPS. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Element Exploit ★★ |
Amplify your damage against monsters weak to a specific element with this skill. A single point of it is enough to deal significant damage. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1 |
| Dereliction ★★ |
Using the Red Scroll increases the Bow's elemental values, improving overall damage. Just be wary of your health! Best paired with the Strife skill from the Chaotic Gore Magala Armor Set and/or Resentment. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Bloodlust ★★ |
Overcome the Frenzy Virus to power up with this skill; best paired with Coalescence. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Adrenaline Rush ★★ |
Using the Dodgebolt playstyle on Bows will activate this constantly. Consider this skill for more DPS. Synergizes well with Evade Window or 2 levels of Embolden. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1 |
| Dragon Conversion ★★ |
When activated, this skill from the Risen Crimson Glow Valstrax Armor will benefit elemental builds, increasing DPS even further! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 4 |
| Attack Boost ★★ |
Increases attack power. This skill is a lesser priority since it's much more ideal to focus on affinity with Bows. If you must, aim for at least 4 levels. |
| Strife + Berserk ★★ |
This skill combination from the Chaotic Gore Magala Armor Set will not only contribute to your damage, but will also ensure infinite stamina and immortality, just be wary of the health drain! You can mitigate this by slotting in skills such as 3 levels of Kushala Blessing and/or Blood Rite. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 3 |
| Charge Master ★★ |
With the buffs to elemental damage, Charge Master becomes a useful skill when you can maintain max charge for most of the hunt. Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Powder Mantle ★ |
This skill from the Risen Teostra Armor provides your Bow combos with additional blast damage every time it activates, contributing greatly to DPS. Only consider this skill whenever it's possible to build around it! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 3 |
| Bladescale Hone ★ |
Perfect for the Dodgebolt playstyle and for bows that don't support Power Coatings. Only consider this skill whenever it's possible to build around it! Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Critical Element ★ |
Amplifying elemental damage is the next step to increasing your damage output as a Spread Elemental Bow player. Only slot this skill in if possible! |
Best Comfort Skills
These are skills that make managing weapon mechanics a lot easier. Damage is only part of the equation - taking time to slot in comfort skills that increase consistency & comfort will also increase overall DPS!
| Best Skills | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Heaven-Sent ★★★ |
From the heavenly armor of Amatsu, maxing this skill out will grant you infinite stamina. This will make fights with the Bow much easier. Equipping this skill on its max level will allow you to forgo any stamina-managing skills, which makes it possible for you to focus more on the ones that contribute greatly to your DPS! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 5 |
| Constitution ★★★ |
No Bow Build is complete without this skill! Pulling off combos will eat your stamina bar fairly quick, so having this stamina-managing skill can let you output more, increasing overall DPS! |
| Stamina Surge ★★★ |
Along with Constitution, this is a staple skill for any Bow Build. Getting your stamina back up quickly will allow you to pull off more combos, which can help you finish a monster faster! 2 levels of this skill is enough for most builds. |
| Reload Speed ★★★ |
This will allow you to switch coatings faster, from Power Coatings to Status Coatings, making a fight much more simple to manage. For Bows, 2 levels of this skill is enough. |
| Marathon Runner ★★ |
Another stamina-managing skill that can help you out while you're running around, charging your Bow! |
| Defiance ★★ |
Three levels of this skill prevent most roars, tremors, and winds from interrupting attacks. The Cornerstone Jewel is a level 1 decoration, so slot it in whenever possible! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 1 |
| Shock Absorber Flinch Free ★★ |
Useful especially in multiplayer so no minor attacks can interrupt you or your team's combos! |
| Intrepid Heart ★ |
Whenever the gauge above your health bar is full, this skill can be useful in preventing monster attacks from interrupting your combos. Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 2 |
| Furious ★ |
Activate this skill for a temporary infinite stamina boost. Consider this skill only when you can build around it! Available in Sunbreak Base Game |
| Embolden or Evade Window ★ |
These skills help out in extending dodging invincibility. Slot this skill in only when you're having trouble timing Dodgebolt! Available in Sunbreak Free Title Update 2 |
| Evade Extender ★ |
Evade Extender can help mitigate the very short dodge of Dodgebolt. Even Lv. 1 of this skill should be enough. Avoid adding this skill with Charging Sidestep as it could cause problems with positioning. |
