pandapaxxy (PvE / M+KB / Controller): "Lethophobia is defined as an abnormal anxiety of forgetting. Let’s hope you don’t forget the god rolls of this bow then. As with most PvE bows you’re looking for a good combination of draw time and accuracy. Successful Warm-Up gives you a better draw time post-defeat, but has a bit less utility against higher health enemies. Explosive Head can stagger those arrow sponges a bit easier but having Rapid Hit or Archer’s Tempo there would have been preferred. Disruption break will work best in conjunction with a high damage kinetic weapon like this season's Supercluster slug shotgun. Golden Tricorn will feel great on a combination of subclasses this season with Permeability changing this weapons damage type from void to your selected subclass. You can run a full void or full strand or stasis loadout without much thought. Just remember that the damage change goes away when you stow this weapon." Recommended MW: Draw Time.

pandapaxxy (PvP / M+KB / Controller): " Lethophobia is already making a strong impression on crucible players everywhere being the first bow to roll Disruption Break. Paired with any kinetic weapon you can city shot and get a whopping 50% extra damage on any kinetic weapon from you or anyone on your team. This damage debuff stays applied for a full 5.5 seconds. Be on the lookout for the “Disrupted” debuff off your screen, you will be extra vulnerable for this time." Recommended MW: Accuracy.

Inspired by @PodvsEnemies Podcast vs Enemies episode 92 (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2qpoxXfXzBXohHBrdQnHbd?si=aH9jqq3kRwOtwQoh2YhHDA) with @CourtProjects and @ImpetusAlways. First-choice PvE pick for Minor spec add clearing in general content. Shapeable. Lethophobia (or "fear of forgetting", seeing as you're asking) offers +20 Mobility and +6.25% movement speed as the Lightweight Frame bonus but, honestly the stats are poor and it's difficult to recommend for PvE. If you do want to try it out, the tactic with Bowstrong and Arrow perks is to reduce the draw time and improve accuracy. As the support perk in the first trait column, Successful Warm up improves draw time further, although you don't have to get a kill first, Explosive Head in the second as the signature perk is the reliable boost to damage and flinch that it always is. The Dragon's Vengeance origin trait can be useful, although it only procs once your health bar turns red or an ally dies. You'll get a reload and 11s of a boost to range and either charge rate or handling. Recommended MW: Draw Time, with a damage boosting (Minor or Taken Spec) mod.|tags: PvE, PvE-Boss, PvE-BossSpec, PvE-EndGame, PvE-God, M+KB, Controller

First-choice PvE pick for bulkier Minor spec add clearing in end-game content. Shapeable.

As the support perk in the first trait column, the new-for-season-23 Permeability works well with Golden Tricorn in the second as the signature perk to make the second damage stack, for +50% damage, attainable for any subclass you run.

What these Lethophobia perks do

Successful Warm-Up

Weapon Kills decrease Charge/Draw Time by 37.5% for 6 seconds. Kills while the perk is active add 4 seconds to the duration up to a maximum of 20 seconds. Buff is removed on stow.

Explosive Head

Splits off 50% of the Bow's bodyshot damage into an Explosive Payload that detonates in a 3 meter radius on impact. The Payload deals 30% increased damage in PvE and staggers PvE Combatants more. Payload detonation time after hitting a target or surface depends on the distance. The remaining Impact damage portion receives an increased Crit Multiplier to compensate for the Payload not benefitting from crits. [PvE] Total damage is increased by ~15% of the weapon's bodyshot damage. On crits, the overall increase is 10.33% for Precision Bows and 9.69% for Lightweight Bows. [PvP] Total damage remains roughly the same but can vary by 1-2% in either direction for crits.

Permeability

Class Ability usage refills ?% of your Magazine (rounded up) from reserves and changes the weapon's element to match your Super Ability until stowed. Magazine Refill cannot be triggered again without stowing the weapon first. Kinetic weapons lose their Passive Damage Bonus against non-Boss PVE Combatants (10% on Primary, 15% on Special).

Golden Tricorn

While the perk's buff isn't active, Weapon Kills grant 'Golden Tricorn x1' for 7 seconds, increasing weapon damage by 15%. Additional Kills refresh the buff duration. While Golden Tricorn x1 or x2 is active: Grenade or Elemental Melee Kills matching the element of the Weapon grant Golden Tricorn x2 for 10 seconds, increasing weapon damage by 50%. Clarity tooltip editor's note: We're replacing the previous Powered Melee term with Elemental Melee. The former is now exclusively used for perks that require the consumption of a Melee Ability Charge. This note is temporary and will be removed in the future.

Repulsor Brace

Kills against Void Debuffed enemies grant a 45 HP Void Overshield for 8 seconds (12 with Echo of Persistence).

Disruption Break

On Elemental, Barrier or Guardian Shield Break: Applies Kinetic Damage Vulnerability to the enemy, increasing Kinetic damage taken by 50% for 5.5 [5] seconds. Stacks with all other Buffs and Debuffs (including itself).

Impulse Amplifier

Passively grants 20 Reload Speed and 15% decreased Reload Animation Duration (20% for Rocket Launchers). Passively increases Projectile Velocity based on Weapon Archetype: • Rocket Launchers: 10% • Support-Frame Auto Rifles: 15% • Micro-Missile Frame Weapons: 25%

Enlightened Action

Weapon Hits grant Stacks of Enlightened Action for 2 seconds. Maximum of 12 Stacks. Stat bonuses at 1|2|…|12 Stacks: 2|7|12|15|20|25|30|35|38|40|45|50 Handling and Reload Speed Stacks granted per hit by Weapon Type: • Hand Cannons: 3 Stacks • Bows: ? Stacks • Automatic Weapons: 1 Stack
