The Shadowflame Bow inflicting the Shadowflame debuff. Note how the Shadowflame Arrows can pierce two enemies.

The Shadowflame Bow is a Hardmode bow that has a 1/6 (16.67%) / 1/3 (33.33%) chance to drop from Goblin Warlocks during a Hardmode Goblin Army. When used, it converts any type of arrow into Shadowflame Arrows. Shadowflame Arrows can pierce two enemies and inflict the Shadowflame debuff for 2–5 seconds. Shadowflame Arrows have a medium velocity but a significantly longer arc. The Shadowflame Bow also has a base 7% critical strike chance as opposed to the usual 4%.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Notes

• If fired directly upwards, Shadowflame Arrows can travel 250 tiles before descending, taking approximately 12 seconds from firing to fall back down to the player's position.

Tips

• Like other bows that fire special arrows, arrows with the highest damage stat should be used, as all special arrow properties is ignored. Alternatively, to conserve resources, the Endless Quiver should be used.

Trivia

• The Shadowflame Bow's sprite appears to be a recolored Sharanga(Old-gen console and 3DS versions).
