pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Anamnesis is another combat bow, this time coming with stellar perks like Demoralize, Repulsor Brace and Destabilizing Rounds. Ready leaning into Void verbiage. If you get Dragonfly and Demoralize you may be able to net. Couple multikills off of one arrow!" Recommended MW: Draw Time.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): "Bows in PvP have gone up but not enough to really move the needle. The health changes really stunted the bows and even with their damage buff it's still not enough for me. Archer's Tempo and Impulse Amplifier are both great perks together. Sword Logic will help out in secondary kills and team-shots. My favorite bow combination was Explosive Head for double flinch swapping to another weapon." Recommended MW: Draw Time.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies episode 135 from 25 March 2024 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5JwIN3avdyW27aRjv4Zb2D?si=21b247e788174887) with @CourtProjects, @Saint_Kabr and @ImpetusAlways (PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller): First-choice PvE pick for clearing groups of Minor adds in general at-level content. Unfortunately, Anamnesis is in the Lightweight subfamily of bows, so although you do get the frame intrinsic +20 Mobility and ×1.0625 movement speed bonus, that's at the cost of accuracy and damage. At base, the stats are in-band - 32 Accuracy, 50 Stability is ×1.1844 flinch resist at 100 Resilience and a perfect draw window of 0.65s, 64 Handling is 0.55s ready, 0.41s ADS and 0.42s stow speed, 60 Reload Speed is a 0.68s reload, and Recoil Direction is 40. As ever with bows, the usual play is to reduce Draw Time with the bowstring perk and recover any lost accuracy with the arrow perk. In the first trait perk column, fan-favourite Archer's Tempo applies a ×0.75 animation scalar to draw time for 3s after a crit hit, or Dragonfly generates a 4.5m AoE void explosion on crit kills. In the second column, for general content, Sword Logic grants a refreshable ×1.15 damage boost for 5.5s for killing Minor red-bar adds, and ×1.25 for 7.5s for orange-bar elites. The higher stacks (×1.35 for 10.5s for Miniboss kills and ×1.5 for 15.5s for Bosses) are less achievable, but still theoretically possible. Willing Vessel is a useful, if unspectacular origin trait to boost gunfeel stats in the background as you hit and kill targets, but if you're in a fireteam, and manually reloading, Runneth Over will reduce Draw Time for each Guardian you're within 15m of. Recommended MW: Draw Time, with a Quick Access Sling mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Void Breaches or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader. Also, don't forget to check whether there's a useful Seasonal Fragile mod for the activity you're running.|tags:PvE PvE-MinorSpec PvE-God M+KB Controller

Unfortunately, Anamnesis is in the Lightweight subfamily of bows, so although you do get the frame intrinsic +20 Mobility and ×1.0625 movement speed bonus, that's at the cost of accuracy and damage. At base, the stats are in-band - 32 Accuracy, 50 Stability is ×1.1844 flinch resist at 100 Resilience and a perfect draw window of 0.65s, 64 Handling is 0.55s ready, 0.41s ADS and 0.42s stow speed, 60 Reload Speed is a 0.68s reload, and Recoil Direction is 40. As ever with bows, the usual play is to reduce Draw Time with the bowstring perk and recover any lost accuracy with the arrow perk. In the first trait perk column, fan-favourite Archer's Tempo applies a ×0.75 animation scalar to draw time for 3s after a crit hit. In the second column, combine together with either Destabilizing Rounds, to spread AoE volatility and proc volatile rounds for 4.5s on kills, or Demoralize to spread AoE weaken for an effective ×1.18 damage boost against enemies, both of which can play into void builds. Alternatively, Explosive Head is a straight ×1.094 damage to crits and ×1.15 to body shot damage, as well as proccing flinch on enemies. If you're interested, "Anamnesis" is the act of recalling something to mind. Willing Vessel is a useful, if unspectacular origin trait to boost gunfeel stats in the background as you hit and kill targets, but if you're in a fireteam, and manually reloading, Runneth Over will decrease Draw Time for each Guardian you're within 15m of. Recommended MW: Draw Time, with a Quick Access Sling mod or, when masterworked, Synergy to create Void Breaches or, when the artifact mod's around, Stunloader.

As ever with bows, the usual play is to reduce Draw Time with the bowstring perk and recover any lost accuracy with the arrow perk. For void builds, there are the trait perk combinations of Repulsor Break, for a void overshield on a void-debuffed kill in the first column, together with either Destabilizing Rounds, to spread AoE volatility and proc volatile rounds for 4.5s on kills, or Demoralize to spread AoE weaken for an effective ×1.18 damage boost against enemies.
