Guide & Lore of the Serpent Bow
The Serpent Bow delivers devastating poison-based damage and utility. While its base attack isn’t extremely high, its poison effect stacks up over time, slowly overwhelming enemies.
Its unique design, resembling a coiled snake, is not just for show—it reflects the weapon’s slow but deadly nature. The Z skill applies poison, breaks Instinct, and unleashes homing shots. Meanwhile, the X skill serves as a precise stun, making it excellent for combo setups.
In PvP, this bow excels at keeping pressure on opponents by constantly dealing damage over time and interrupting mobility. However, its short initial burst and single-target nature mean it’s less suited for high-speed kills or mob farming.

Serpent Bow Build Tips
For a powerful Serpent Bow build, focus on high damage-per-second setups. Prioritize mobility and combo potential. Good synergy exists with Spikey Trident, Dragon Fruit, and Godhuman due to their stuns and follow-up power.
Enhance defense to survive long enough for poison to take full effect. Combine with stun/disable tools to control fights.
Serpent Bow vs Kabucha
While Kabucha may offer burst or AoE power, the Serpent Bow thrives in sustained engagements. Its poison, Instinct drain, and utility-focused X move make it deadly in experienced hands.
