Cyclone Bow

The Cyclone Bow on land.

The Cyclone Bow is a mechanic exclusive to the Galeshot elite specialization that equips a bow (or, if underwater, a harpoon gun) of swirling wind upon activation. This bow provides the galeshot with an on-demand ranged option in addition to the character's two weapon sets and uses a unique resource, Arrows, in conjunction with its skills.

Mechanics

• As a galeshot, access the Cyclone Bow with F5. The skill bar will change to a set of five skills unique to the bow.
• The first skill, Keen Shot, requires no Arrow charges, while the remaining skills require Arrows to activate.
  • Arrows will replenish over time by default at a rate of about 1 every 5 seconds. A galeshot may hold up to 8 Arrows; the number of Arrows available and the recharge rate are represented in the center of the skill bar above the health orb.
  • Using Arrow charges will also accumulate a unique  Wind Force buff. At 5 stacks, Keen Shot will convert into the Hawkeye skill.
• Return to original equipped weapon set with F5. The Cyclone Bow will remain available with a minimal cooldown.
