Venom Bow
The Venom Bow is a Legendary gun made for fast, close to mid-range combat. It plays like a more aggressive version of the Acidum Rifle, focusing on speed and pressure instead of range.
Its basic attacks hit hard and come out quickly, making it strong for constant damage and punishing mistakes. The skills are also faster, giving it better combo flow and overall utility in fights.
The downside is its short range. You have to stay closer to enemies, which makes positioning important and puts you at a disadvantage against long-range weapons.
Obtainment:
The Venom Bow is obtained by defeating the Hydra Leader, in Hydra Island.

Strengths & Weaknesses
A quick breakdown of where this build shines and struggles.
Strengths
Easy to upgrade with simple materials.
Good overall damage with solid range.
Fast skills that chain well, giving smooth combo potential.
Low mastery makes it easy to pick up early.
[TAP] Viper Barb applies damage over time, stopping Instinct regen. Very strong for grinding due to short cooldown.
[Z] Venomous Spit has long range, breaks Instinct on explosion, and auto-aims on the second hit.
[X] Serpent Bite has auto-aim and provides reliable stun to start or extend combos.
Weaknesses
Completely ineffective against Rubber users.
[TAP] Viper Barb has poor range, limiting its use in spacing fights.
[Z] Venomous Spit is harder to land on airborne targets.
[X] Serpent Bite only auto-aims once and hits a single target, reducing its impact in group fights.
Verdict
A strong, easy to use gun for close to mid-range combat with good combo flow and grinding value, but held back by range limits and hard counters like Rubber.
