Info

  • Ivara wields her exalted bow as her primary weapon, allowing her to fire a spread of 3 / 4 / 6 / 7 arrows fanning in a vertical orientation. Each arrow inflicts 50 / 80 / 120 / 160 base damage which is further increased by a 1.5x damage multiplier. Holding down the fire button (default LMB ) will gradually reorient the spread to fan horizontally upon release. Each arrow has a 20% status chance, 25% critical chance, and 2x critical multiplier.
    • Base damage distribution is 14% Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., 80% Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist., and 6% Script error: The function "Proc" does not exist..
    • Base damage is affected by Ability Strength, while the damage multiplier and the number of arrows are not.
    • Artemis Bow is also affected by equipped bow mods and rifle mods including:
    • Charged attacks will only reorient Artemis Bow's arrow spread and will confer no changes to projectile flight speed or damage. Charging speed is affected by fire rate mods.
    • Artemis Bow's arrows do not have innate punch through. However, much like the Boltor family, the arrows will push back and continue to travel after a kill, carrying the enemy's body and nailing them to the surface behind them.
  • While Artemis Bow is active, each shot will consume 15 energy. Artemis Bow will end if Ivara's energy falls below the energy cost per shot or if deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ).
  • Melee attacks cannot be used while Artemis Bow is active.
  • Using the secondary fire button will make Artemis Bow instantly fire the currently equipped arrow type from Quiver. If used to fire arrows from Quiver, Artemis Bow will only shoot a single arrow, and each arrow will use Quiver's energy cost.
  • Artemis Bow's arrows can be controlled by Navigator. Only one of the arrows fired will be selected at random for manual control.

Weapon

ArtemisBowWeapon
Main article: Artemis Bow (Weapon)

The Artemis Bow is IvaraIcon272 Ivara's and Ivara PrimeIcon272 Ivara Prime's signature Exalted Weapon, summoned by activating the ability of the same name. It fires seven arrows at once in a vertical spread, which can be reoriented into a horizontal spread by holding down the fire button.


  • This weapon deals primarily DmgPunctureSmall64 Puncture damage.
  • Innate 1 meter punch through.
  • Mod TT 20px Concentrated Arrow augment replaces the 7 arrows for a single arrow that, on headshots, has increased critical chance and releases a DmgBlastSmall64 Blast explosion with a guaranteed DmgImpactSmall64 Impact proc.
    • The single arrow deals the same amount of damage as an individual arrow without the augment.
    • Charge has no effect on damage; only the projectile speed.
    • Explosion has 0% status chance.
    • Punch Through is removed, and can not be increased with mods.
  • Innate two Madurai Pol and one Naramon Pol polarities.
  • Can use the bow-exclusive Mod TT 20px Thunderbolt mod.
  • Unlike other Exalted Weapons, it does not have continuous energy drain and Ivara can gain energy from passive energy regeneration while it is active, such as from Mod TT 20px Energy Siphon.

Advantages

  • Second-highest base damage of all weapons in the game, after Arquebex.
  • Very high critical chance.
  • High status chance.
  • Innate multishot of 7 arrows, which can be oriented vertically, horizontally, or diagonally based on charge time.
    • Arrow damage and status chance are not divided among the arrows.
    • Damage is unaffected by charge amount.
  • Pinpoint accuracy.
  • Silent.
  • On kill, bodies will follow the arrow that killed them, damaging anyone in their path and pinning the corpse to walls.
  • Does not use ammunition.

Disadvantages

Augment

ConcentratedArrowMod
Main article: Concentrated Arrow

Concentrated Arrow is a Warframe Augment Mod for IvaraIcon272 Ivara's ArtemisBow130xWhite Artemis Bow that replaces ArtemisBowWeapon Artemis Bow's multiple projectiles with a single arrow. On headshots, the arrow has added critical chance and explodes. The single arrow is incapable of utilizing punch through.

Rank Added Critical chance on Headshots Explosion Radius Cost
0 20% 7m 6
1 30% 7m 7
2 40% 7m 8
3 50% 7m 9

Tips & Tricks

  • With the majority of Grineer and Corpus enemies being humanoids that stand upright, firing the Artemis Bow uncharged to fire the spread vertically will allow it to deal the maximum amount of damage possible by ensuring all of the Artemis Bow's shots hit against them. In addition, this also has a high chance of dealing headshots, further enhancing the potential damage.
    • Due to the spreading nature of the shot, the Artemis Bow deals more damage at close range if used akin to a shotgun, which is useful for dealing massive damage to heavy units like Techs and Bombards.
  • Firing fully-charged horizontal spreads is ideal for taking out multiple enemies in clustered groups, or fast moving enemies.
  • Reflex Guard works while Artemis Bow is active.
  • Using shotguns with Ivara's Artemis Bow is ill-advised due to shotgun mods being incompatible with Artemis Bow.
