MH4U: My Top 5 Non-Relic Bows!

1. Kama Sedition

Power Shot, high affinity, high raw and Rapid 5! Though it does need Load Up to unlock the level 3 charge, this will still be one of those end game bows that you'll be using quite often. Getting this bow will test your mettle against Seregios because almost every material needed to make this comes from him, and oh yeah, you also need a couple of Conqueror's Seal that only special G-rank monsters give as a reward (ie. Akantor etc.).

• Attack - 384
• True Attack - 320
• Power Shot
• Element - None
• Affinity - 30%
• Charge Levels - Rapid 3, Rapid 5, (Rapid 5)
• Coatings Available - Power, Close Range
• Coating Boost - Close Range Coating
• Defense - +0
• Slots - None
• Rarity - 10

2. Akantor Chaos Bow

The famous Akantor Chaos Bow comes back with all its glory and power! High damage output due to its raw and affinity and as an added bonus, it's got some high dragon element as well! This bow also needs Load Up to get that third bow charge but it's such a small price to pay to do some crazy damage with its Rapid 5. Most of the materials needed to make this comes from Akantor and a B. Gravios Pallium to upgrade it to the max.

• Attack - 360
• True Attack - 300
• Blast Arc Shot
• Element - 280 Dragon
• Affinity - 30%
• Charge Levels - Spread 3, Pierce 4, (Rapid 5)

3. Heedful Elizabeth

Want to demolish monsters terrifyingly weak to water?! Well this bow will do that and even more! High element, decent raw and  it can also be turned into a pierce type water bow via the skill Load Up! Though it lacks innate Power Coating, you can always gem it in or just focus on elemental bowing instead. The materials needed to make this bow are trades from the Wycoon, high rank Devil Jho parts are traded for the high rank Cedeaus parts whilst Chaotic Magala materials for the Cedeaus G-rank materials.

• Attack - 324
• True Attack - 270
• Power Shot
• Element - 260 Water
• Affinity - 0%
• Charge Levels - Pierce 2, Spread 3, Spread 5, (Pierce 5)
• Coatings Available - Close Range, Exhaust
• Coating Boost -None
• Defense - +0
• Slots - Two Slots
• Rarity - 10

4. Uranus Herald

Pierce giant monsters weak to fire with this bow and you'll surely clear that quest fast! This is a strange but epic bow and it's strong nonetheless! Its overall stats are above average on most parts and it doesn't need any special skill to unlock its full potential. If you plan on making this bow it starts off with low rank Rathalos parts and ends up using G-rank Silver Rathalos materials for its last upgrade.

• Attack - 336
• True Attack - 280
• Power Shot
• Element - 200 Fire
• Affinity - 0%
• Charge Levels - Rapid 3, Spread 3, Pierce 5, (Pierce 5)
• Coatings Available - Power,  Poison
• Coating Boost -None
• Defense - +0
• Slots - No Slots
• Rarity - 10

5. Great Purple Emperor II

This one is a cool bow due to the fact that it can do almost anything because it's got a bit of everything! It has good overall stats with a bit of affinity and defense added and also has access to coatings that we bow users care about. This is a pretty nice bow to use for inflicting various statuses and good to use both solo and online play. If you're planning to make this bow, it's made out of Daimyo Hermitaur parts and later on upgrades with P. Daimyo Hermitaur materials

• Attack - 312
• True Attack - 260
• Power Shot
• Element - 230 Water
• Affinity - 10%
• Charge Levels - Spread 4, Spread 4, Rapid 4, (Pierce 5)

Games News: StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void Out Now!

Legacy of the Void is out! Grab a copy now and see all the major changes they've had on a lot of units. Check it out here if you want to see the LAUNCHING TRAILER and see all the CG cinematic Blizzard has created because they are so awesome that they could make a movie out of what they've done, incredible quality if you ask me. If you, for some reason haven't checked out the opening cinematic, just click right HERE!

Legacy of the Void is the last chapter in the three part series that StarCraft 2 has and it's all about the survival of the Protoss race and how they are able to unite once again to fight a common foe. This is the last piece of the story that has yet to unfold in the StarCraft universe and we are all eagerly waiting to know what's the next thing that's gonna happen.

It's been quite some time since Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm came out that Legacy of the Void looks like a brand new StarCraft game with all its uniqueness and changes. Here is a list of units that are new/changed to Legacy of the Void.

Protoss

• Adept (New) - Ranged unit strong against light armor, has the ability to create an illusion of itself to transfer to.
• Disruptor (New) - Ground unit that has the ability to discharges energy dealing massive damage at an AoE.
• Carrier - Gains a new skill that sends out its interceptors to a specific area and continues to attack that area for a certain time limit, the interceptors do die after the ability is over.
• Immortal - Hardened shield is removed and is replaced with Barrier, an active ability that can be set to auto-cast to make the Immortal invulnerable for 2 seconds.
• Mothership Core - Photon Overcharge can only be used on Pylons.
• Oracle - The Revelation ability now has the effect of Envision. Gains a new ability called Stasis ward which is a trap that makes enemies in an AoE to stop moving/attacking and also can't be attacked. 
• Tempest - Has a new ability called Disintegration. 
• Warp Prism - Warping units now only take 2 seconds. Can now pick up units from a distance.

Terran

• Cyclone (New) - Mechanical unit that has an ability called Lock On.
• Liberator (New) - Air unit that has two modes, one for air, which has a splash damage on air units and one for ground but the ground/AG mode makes it stationary and only attacks an effective AoE.
• Banshee - Speed can now be increased by researching Hyperflight Rotors at the Fusion Core.
• Battlecruiser - Gains a teleporting ability that can be done anywhere on the map called Tactical Jump, costs a lot of energy.
• Ghost - Can now make drones that decrease the armor of targeted enemy units by 3.
• Marauder - Gains an extra attack boost.
• Medivac Dropship - Loses the energy upgrade but is replaced by a new upgrade that makes it faster at dropping units.  
• Reaper - Can now throw grenades that do damage and knockback.
• Siege Tank - Can now be picked up by Medivacs while in siege mode. 
• Thor - Gains a new ability called Explosive Payload which is an active skill that does more damage to light units and makes its air attack do splash damage. The Thor does lose its previous skill High Impact Payload. 

Zerg

• Lurker (New) (Awww Yeah!) - Ground unit that burrows and attacks units in a straight line.
• Ravager (New) - Roaches can now mutate into a Ravager which is a ground unit that has siege capabilities because of its skill Corrosive Bile.
• Corruptor - Gains a new ability called Caustic Spray which is a channeling skill that does high damage to buildings over time.
• Hydralisk - Can now morph into a Lurker.
• Infestor - Gains a new ability called Aggressive Mutation that buffs friendly units attack.
• Nydus Worm - Nydus Worm is invulnerable when coming out of the ground.
• Overlord - Loses Ventral Sacs upgrade but you can choose which Overlord to use to make it carry units.
• Swarm Host - Burrow must now be researched for them and they can't move while burrowed but they can now create locusts whilst moving. Later game the locusts can fly and swoop to attack units/building
• Viper - Gains the ability Parasitic Bomb, it targets air units and deals damage over time.

See how much has changed?! That is a lot to look out for and never forget the excitement that the campaign brings! I'm looking forward to playing Legacy of the Void for myself because I'm just one of those kids that grew up playing Broodwar and later on, StarCraft 2. 

Let's all experience this awesome game and share it to everyone who loves a great real time strategy game, heck let's share it to all kinds of gamers! Let's all have fun because that's what really matters the most!

As what the Protoss says, "My Life For Aiur!"
