Overview

This Once Human Compound Bow build focuses on the Burden of Betrayal, combining strong boss damage, effective mob clearing, and low ammo consumption. Below, you’ll find the recommended weapon calibration, secondary weapons, and gear to put the setup together.

This version does not rely on staying at low HP. While a low-HP setup can push the damage higher, this build offers an alternative for players who prefer to avoid that playstyle.

Strengths And Weaknesses

  • High Damage Bossing
  • Easy Mobbing
  • 100% Crit Rate Possibility
  • Low Ammo Consumption
  • If bounce cannot interact with enemies or environment then the build falls flat

Content Variants

Currently this is the only build variant but will be updated as I go back to other scenarios. This will prioritize content and items in Isles Of Abyss. However, there are only minor adjustments for each scenario.

Main Weapon

Burden Of Betrayal

The amount of bounces and base damage allows for high damage and easy spam. As well as using arrows making this easy to keep up gear

Bounce benefits from Bounce Damage, Weapon Damage, Crit Damage, Weakspot Damage

Since the special effect of the bow gives crit rate, we focus on the crit part rather than the weakspot part.

Calibration

Portable Style is my go to for the increased Bow Draw Speed. You will want to make sure you get Crit Rate

Secondary & Melee

Recurve Crossbow

This allows for increased crit rate as well as applying The Bulls Eye for extra vulnerability damage boost. This is exclusive to being able to hit a weakspot. If the enemy does not have a weakspot then this does not work and you can use other The Bulls Eye weapons

Long Axe

This is used for Fortress Warfare for an extra damage boost to your shots

Not sure if you can get Kukri in this scenario but if you can then that is going to be great


Gear Set

Key Gear

Sharp Blade Pants allows for every instance of Bounce to proc an extra time

Lonewolf

We use the 4 set for the increase Crit DMG but also the Crit Rate. This is goes up to 60% Crit DMG

Bastille

This is a free space but is easy to keep up

Mask Hide

You are looking for anything Weapon Damage or Crit Rate/DMG related

Mods

For passives you are looking for Bounce and Violent (or any Violent adjacent passives)

Primary Weapon

Multi-Bounce for even more Bounce damage which is a great multiplier. We get a lot of bounces with this weapon so easy to keep up.

Secondary Weapon

Vulnerability Amplifier is used for an even bigger damage boost when applying The Bull's Eye. The exact boosts do not matter as we swap to this, weapon, shoot, and swap back, so nothing is granted with those boosts.

Helmet

Fortune's Favor is used for the most Crit Rate and DMG. This just means you cannot benefit from Weakspot DMG but you can still hit Weakspots meaning Weakspot related effects still work.

Mask

Precision Bounce is used because we get 6 Bounces very easily with all the potential Bounces. This is not consistent damage but it is peak damage

Top

Healing Fortification is my preference for Top Mod but it is VERY FLEXIBLE and can honestly go any mod with the highest mod level in your Top Slot for Violent

Bottoms

Critical Surge is the obvious choice since every shot is a reload. Allowing you to easily keep up this damage boost.

Gloves

Crit Boost is used for the most Crit Rate possible. You can also go Crit Amplifier if you do not need as much Crit Rate or just want higher peaks.

Shoes

Covered Advance is great for an easy damage boost. This procs after 4 seconds of no damage taken. Then even if you take damage during that 30 second duration, you keep the damage boost


Food Buffs

One (or both) of these are great damage boosts
