I've been struggling with the bow lately and have been really inconsistent. Do any of you have any tips? Tips I've used already are using hitboxes, finding a good fov, not hiding behind trees or anything related, doing fake shots, and have a confusing strafe.Posted on 20 December 2015 - 12:01 PM

Idk just left click and aimPosted on 20 December 2015 - 02:38 PM
On a serious note, I use hitboxes and, myself, has god-awful aim, but I can avoid shots because I see the arrows coming. So eventually I land shots so yeah. Find a distance that you are good at and stay at that range.Posted on 20 December 2015 - 02:41 PM
Practice practice practice, I only learn by trial and error in this game typically.Posted on 20 December 2015 - 03:07 PM
I need to learn to be consistent. I could kill like a 1900 in pretty much any bow ladder, but get drained by some 1400 dark ruster.Posted on 20 December 2015 - 03:19 PM
Just keep practicing you'll improve eventuallyPosted on 20 December 2015 - 04:08 PM
I played bow ladders a lotPosted on 20 December 2015 - 04:13 PM
Pretty much just plan ahead and think about where you think the player is goIng to move next. Time the shot and shoot when you think he is going to move there.Posted on 20 December 2015 - 06:43 PM

Play on a trackpad like me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Posted on 21 December 2015 - 07:54 AM
Well I just learned something about myself yesterday in regards to strafing. I never ever stop moving any range, even when I aim down. When I'm aiming down, I press WASD randomly and somehow people get confused at that and shoot at the side of me. Also I preach this, improve your reaction timing. Don't focus so much on strafing if you have a decent reaction time, it provides for a better strafe itselfPosted on 21 December 2015 - 08:07 AM
I've been playing bow ladders a lot more recently, and in general UHC based things such as Reddits UHC. Before that, I was the definition of terrible at bow, and I'm still not amazing but I've been improving. I try to stay long range so I can dodge arrows easily (so keep hitboxes on). I also spam WASD, and keep doing that so my opponent won't be able to shoot me easily. Usually confuses them.For ladders that have swords (adv uhc, build, iron etc), DO NOT sword rush. They can easily get a few shots on you. If they are sword rushing you though, I typically shoot to the right, then the left, and continue because they will usually try strafing with a left right strafe.
Ignore my archer KDR, I cannot do archer this season ;-;
