Weapon concept: Astra Bow

[Izanagi009]

Hello, got another concept for people to browse over: The Astra Bow.

I decided to take some concepts I found after doing research on Karna and Arjuna of the Mahabharata and put them together into a weapon

Stats:

• Uncharged Damage: 120
  • 100 slash
  • 15 puncture
  • 5 impact
• Charged Damage: 240
  • 200 slash
  • 30 puncture
  • 10 impact
• 30% crit with 2x crit multiplier
• 20% status chance
• 1 sec charge time
• Variable Punchthrough
• 64 round ammo

Special ability: Dual fire mode. The bow switches between two fire modes: 

• Pashupatastra: High single target damage with 2.5 meter punchthrough fully charged, damage stats are as seen above with the 10% more crit, a 3x crit multiple and half the status. Flight speed is high
• Bhargavastra: When the arrow is fired, immediately splits into 7 arrows (number can be altered) in a random scatter pattern. Punch through of each arrow fully charged is 1 meter and damage numbers are reduced to 75% of original. Crit chance is half of base and Status chance is double of the base. Multishot increases the number of arrows. Flight speed is slower

huh, funny

I suppose that I should have known that response would happen but I was more inspired by the myth of the Bhargavastra which was said to take out a large portion of an army in a single shot.
