Understand Concentrated Arrow
Useful when…
- Use when you can reliably charge the bow and aim at weak points to trigger its explosion.
- Consider it when the single-arrow attack's critical bonuses matter more than Punch Through.
What changes on Artemis Bow
On full charge, the augment fires a single arrow with +25% base critical chance. Hitting a weak point adds an explosion in a 7-meter radius and grants additional critical chance: +20% at rank 0, +40% at rank 2, and +50% at rank 3. The augment removes Punch Through. These conditions are separate: full charge is specified for the base critical chance, while the weak-point hit triggers the explosion and additional chance.
Fit and ranking
This standard Ivara augment has Zenurik polarity, base drain 6, and maximum rank 3. It occupies a standard mod slot and applies to Ivara. Rank increases the additional weak-point critical chance, while the +25% base critical chance on full charge and removal of Punch Through are fixed in the listed rank effects. The last rank step costs 120 Endo and 5,796 Credits; rank it if the weak-point bonus is central to your use of Artemis Bow.
Tradeoff against other Ivara augments
Piercing Navigator supports Navigator by increasing projectile critical chance on each hit up to a listed maximum and adding projectile Punch Through. Empowered Quiver instead adds ally critical damage from Dashwire and status prevention from Cloak arrows. These affect different abilities; neither preserves this augment's single-arrow Artemis Bow behavior. Power of Three is specifically a Conclave Quiver augment and should not be confused with a standard Artemis Bow augment.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- Removes Punch Through and changes Artemis Bow to a single arrow.
- The additional critical chance and explosion require a weak-point hit; full charge is required for the listed base critical chance.
- Uses a standard slot and has base drain 6.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the explosion occurs on any hit; the stated condition is a weak-point hit.
- Overlooking that the augment removes Punch Through.
- Confusing the standard Artemis Bow augment with Quiver or Conclave augments.
