Daikyu Prime

Charge bow with distinct quick and charged projectile shots

Released May 21, 2025

Daikyu Prime is a charge-trigger primary bow for players who want to choose between a shorter-charge shot and a longer-charge shot. Both modes are projectiles and share the same listed critical and status chances; the charged shot lists more damage per shot and takes longer to charge.

Understand Daikyu Prime

Useful when…

  • Use Quick Shot when its 0.3-second listed charge time fits the moment.
  • Consider Charged Shot when you want its higher listed damage per shot and can spend one second charging.
  • Account for projectile travel and the one-arrow magazine when aiming and managing shots.

What do its two shots do?

Quick Shot lists a 0.3-second charge time and 112.5 Impact, 150 Puncture, and 112.5 Slash damage. Charged Shot lists a one-second charge time and 225 Impact, 300 Puncture, and 225 Slash damage. These are separate per-shot attack entries: Charged Shot has higher listed damage per shot, but also takes longer to charge; the supplied values do not establish damage per time. Both are projectiles, with listed projectile speeds of 140 and 180 respectively.

Criticals, status, and handling

Both shots list 40% critical chance, a 2.4× critical multiplier, and 50% status chance. The bow has a one-arrow magazine, 0.6-second reload, and charge trigger. Its accuracy is listed as 16.67. It requires Mastery Rank 15 and has a rank cap of 30.

What should you consider when investing?

The entry lists two Madurai polarities, which can inform compatible mod placement. No upgrade tracks or specific mod bonuses are supplied, so the base figures do not support a particular build or a prediction of modified damage. Choose between the shot modes based on their listed charge times and per-shot damage, while remembering that both require aiming a projectile.

How does it compare with other bows?

The regular Daikyu is described as taking great strength to draw and providing added power and range, while Cinta is described as offering quick successive arrows, a quickly charged shock wave, or a fully charged focused shot. These descriptions indicate different stated firing characteristics; they do not establish equivalent handling or a direct performance ranking against Daikyu Prime.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Charged Shot lists more damage per shot but has a longer charge time; no damage-per-time result is provided.
  • Both attacks are projectiles, and the magazine holds one arrow.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Combining Quick Shot and Charged Shot damage as if they were one attack.
  • Treating either shot as hitscan or assuming the higher per-shot damage proves higher damage per time.
  • Applying the regular Daikyu or Cinta descriptions as Daikyu Prime’s attack profile.
