Light Bows | Elden Ring Wiki

Light Bows are a type of Weapon in Elden Ring. Light Bows are two-handed ranged weapons that can be used to inflict damage on enemies from afar. Similar to other ranged weapons, they grant no guard protection. However, Light Bows are unique in their ability to quickly notch and fire an arrow immediately after rolling, sprinting, or landing from a jump, allowing a more aggressive and mobile playstyle. Light Bows require Arrows as ammunition.

Light Bows canbe given new Ashes of War, but cannot be greased, spell-buffed, or given new affinities.

The applicable Ashes of War for Light Bows are Barrage, Mighty Shot, Enchanted Shot, Sky Shot, and Rain of Arrows.

Light Bows deal Pierce Damage with their ammunition, though this is not reflected in their weapon descriptions.

Shadow of the Erdtree, Elden Ring's expansion added only 1 new Light Bow, the Bone Bow.
