Elemental Bow Concepts! *updated*

[mynameisd]

Now that we have Impact, Puncture and Slash bows, we need some elemental bows! :)

Here are some concepts;

 

Brontios: ("thunderer") is an epithet of Zeus, who was known for throwing thunderbolts around at just about anything and anyone xD.

 

It should perhaps be reminiscent of a quincy bow ^^ Most likely developed by the Corpus and looks like it!

It might also look like a "Ballista" too, because it suits the corpus more(I imagine they are lazy bastards who wouldn't move a finger if they could xD :)

 

It would be cool if the weapon didn't use ammo, since it is an energy bow *maple story reference* xD but that may be a bit imba? :) though unique^^ perhaps if it only had a charge attack that was longer it would be balanced.

 

Or make it very fast at firing tons of projectiles :P

 

Basic attack:

Very high fire rate but with low damage.

or

3 burst shots.

 

Charged attack:

-Status chance Increased to ~45%(without mods)

-Projectiles gain PUNCH THROUGH.

To get that chain lightning ^^

maybe;

-Increased thunderbolt proc chance ~50%/100% ?

 

I would put fire damage on here too, because electricity ignites stuff, but radiation damage really doesn't suit the theme xD

 

Mirkwood:
It is crafted from the extremely durable genetically engineered trees that overgrow earth, and was the thematic focus of the latest patch ^^..

 

Mirkwood is a reference to the first bow(not the Galadhrim) of Legolas and the overgrown Mirkwood forests from Lord Of The Rings where he comes from. I don't know why but I imagine the tenno looking like elves ^^

Looks:

Slim elegant looking bow with intricate carvings.

or.
Grineer;

Somewhat brutal look with grineer alterations.(because they are the chemical faction^^).

Basic attacks:

-deals poison damage.

-Fast reload(taking out of quiver)

Charged attack:

-Increased critical chance/damage. ~25%

-fires 2/3 arrows. (increased charge time?)

 

Ashe:

Contrary to the word it is a frost bow inspired by the LoL hero Ashe(a frost archer) so it will have some similarities with her ^^.;

Looks:

A crystalline bow reminiscent of the "plants" which grow in the void;

Tenno origin.

 

Basic attacks:

-Frost damage

 

Charged attack:

-Increased status chance ~20%

-Deals Blast damage. ("stuns" targets like ashes ult :)

 

Drakon/Naga:

This one is a Heat damage "ballista/bow" inspired by Oriental (mainly chinese) culture, since it was them who pioneered fireworks, flamethrowers and gunpowder, they were also renown for using ballistas so it would fit perfectly ^^

Looks:

A bigger version of the Ballista ^^

Most likely Grineer, perhaps Tenno origin.

 

Basic attack:

-fires 3 weak shots (just like ballista :)

-Heat damage

 

Charged attack:

-Has an innate thunderbolt effect! ~30% proc chance.(scales with elemental mods)

-Heat damage.
