Bannerlord Perks Guide - Bow Perks: Complete Guide To All Bow Perks & Rambo Bonus At The End!

Maybe nocking point meant crossbows?

with salvo i think it mitigates the effect bows slow you down WHILE you are aiming AND moving

does "bow control" apply to horseback? because that's how it could be really important

Is this video still good?

Yo @Strat-Guides can you test the first bow perk, (bow control) on horseback & see if it works/improves accuracy on for mounted archery? Or have you already tested this?!

If it does work while mounted, I feel this is where the perk would really shine. As moving on horseback decreases bow accuracy a ton so this perk could really help with that if it does indeed work while moving on horseback.

Can anyone tell me if the movement accuracy perk affects mounted archery?

Do the bow and crossbow movement speed/accuracy bonuses double as horseback movement bonuses or do they specifically have to say horseback to work? I’ve created some characters that have ideal bonuses because the perk says it works for the whole party or says it’s a general boost to your formation instead of just when you have a specific weapon equipped, but I haven’t done testing to see if these types of things actually work the way that they’re written.

I was very disappointed when realized that most perks that work with foot archers don't work with mounted archers 😒

I know this is a pretty random question but anyone have an idea on the RNG spawn chance for Large Bag of Stacked Steepe Arrows in towns are? Found one in Khuzait lands and now I'm searching high and low for another couldn't pass up a quiver with 41 arrows as the base and they only weigh in at 1.5 so they're glorious on my Khan build.

Checked this video to try to understand how Trainer works, looks like its changed in 1.2 beta! Just a heads up.

One thing to note about garrison maintenance cost reductions is that the game will simply hire more units and still hit the same cost it would without the perks, so unless you are manually managing your garrisons those perks are close to useless.

Great content! Thx for the video. Got a question. Does "Deep Quiver" stack with "Fletcher" in the crossbow 125 perk?

for lvl 25 perk, as a main Horse Archer solo playstyle & Cavalry/HA Party, I would pick "Bow Control" for couple reasons:
1. In early game, with a noble bow, mostly, i get insta kill with a headshot. About mid game, that is 100% insta kill.
2. It is hard to shoot a tiny head while running ur ass off to avoid being shot and trying to take them down. When solo an elite enemy party 100+ troops (having Cav, HA, archers,... ), the longer time you run around the map, the bigger chance u got shot by their archers; each accuracy shot is now much much valuable than anything else. with 3 stack of "Piercing Arrow" (69 arrows) for ~40 kills per battle, when running out off arrows, retreat and attack again until victory.
3. The tier 5+ HA and Fian have really high archery skill, an extra 5% dmg is somewhat better than +20 archery.
4. However, it is a bad choice to put all archers/HA into ur squad. WIth a party consist of 100 HA and 50 shock cav, spitting them out into small group to surround ur enemy and squeeze them into a dead zone.

I’m new to bannerlord and considering a mounted archer build. does the horse archer perk stack with bow control?

For renowned archer, does the morale boost carry on to campaign stats? I only chose it because I was doing a merciful build and refused to let my men pillage conquered settlements (which results in -15 party morale.)

The zoom really helps me for archery. And the 10% visibility helps avoid dangerous enemies on campaign at low level. But this is at the cost of 10% ranged damage reduction. However, the formation I control is melee cav, so I gave my archer captain the skirmish phase master instead and it works out.

I would disagree with the level 50 perk, as I always walk backwards while shooting people in close range bow encounters when i dont have enough time to switch. Its saved my ass alot of times, and i imagine without the perk i wouldnt be having such close encounters because even a little less distance from the enemy could kill me.

I love you, thanks for this

thank you so much bro, this d. game explaines nothin. Fortunatetly here you are ! Very useful video ;)

So where you talk about the first main perk?

What armor is that again please. Has it change? Or as long as I have my character around 15.00 is it OK?

Rambo is a bow user in the movies too.

Thanks for the tips, I know it must be painful but they help a lot

Excellent...loved your video. I just started playing, can you recommend a starter Bow? (Playing on PS5 console)

The Rambo is amazing

Anyone know if bow control works for mounted archery? I'm still unsure.

Bro the ad for this video scared me. It was an ad for oil heat at the beginning showing a lady going boom bullseye with a bow, saying choose the right weapon. It's a cute blunder of AI to use that ad for this video about bannerlord archery because it makes AI seem scary for the opposite reason that everyone thinks.

We think like oh god the robots are going to destroy all humans deliberately someday but no.. they are going to be like.. lol oops by improve human lives we thought you meant erase all human lives oopsie robot giggle

Anyways the actual perk video is amazing thank you lol

I wonder about TW interpretations of things. If a family member leads a party and picks level 125 Trainer would she as the only, therefore lowest level member daily gain +6 bow experience , as well as bow troops gaining +3? I'm just being lazy, I could test it myself, but also wondering about TW wording in other things with this as an example.

Great video. If you were to revisit this topic in the future, it may be worthwhile looking in to break points. For example, maybe with x perk you have to be level 205 to 1 shot Legionnaires with a head shot 100% of the time while you have to be level 225 without x perk. Break points are important with the bow because the difference between being able to 1 shot an enemy and 2 shot an enemy is double the kills with a limited ammunition weapon.

algorithm again

Am I the only one who can’t aim with a bow

very useful video cheers! I saw in another video of yours that the crossbow reload maybe works with bows , does that actually work/still work? and do these reload speed perks work on horseback ? trying to get the fastest bow speed and accuracy on my guy just wondering what the best perks are for that.

Going to make him.

For a rambo lord, probably want the roguery 150 perk to get bandit parties to always join you, then takeover the world with forest bandits and fortify castles with sea raiders and looters.

great work man

Rambo had a knife of respectable size with him all the time ... Rambo knife is a thing.

That Rambo character is terrifying.

Very nice guide. The Rambo skill is quite interesting but not to do in the normal game. As several skill trees need to be brought up to 225.

Bulls Eye part 1 is Party Leader not Captain. Video might be wrong, or more likely it has just been changed since but thought it was worth mentioning

Thanks for the info, good video!

Great Video, does the Rambo build still work on the current patch? And could you help me with char creation and a lvling guild? if it's not to much problem, Thanks!

People always ignore a hidden aspect of increased rate of fire in just about any game: It not only increases damage over time, but it also increases the quantity of hits in any situation where accuracy is a factor. This means you aren't only firing more arrows, but also statistically have a higher number of arrows inflicting damage.

Great help, thanks again!

It would be a good upper level perk to be able to go back and pick one of those perks one wished were in another slot, but had to pick one that was better in the same choice slot. I think this would be better than some of the ones that do not seem to help much at all, or with only one choice.

since "Bulls Eye" is now listed as Party Leader ?Governor is it now working for the party Leader?

it seem fun playing as legolas

Hey great vid! Not sure if you answer comments on these older videos but I wanted to ask where you found that Helmet you are using at the end. I can't seem to find anything about the 'two pronged bronze crown'. It certainly looks like a piece of armour you would find a sturgian wearing but other than that I can't find it anywhere. Much thanks!

I really dont know if "range troops" include mounted archers. such a bummer if it doesn't
