Tips on using the hidden aspect bow?

[Timbermaw]

This thing seems too slow to even attempt using normal charging attacks. Someone recommended me to stick a doom on the special and just spam that because the regular attack is very cumbersome to use... It doesn't deal enough damage to warrant charging it up I think

I have trouble using the audio effect of this bow. Judging from the sound, I expect the perfect shot to happen earlier than it does.

My rama bow does 1200 damage full charge without any upgrade and no crit so... no it's not weak but you can't treat it like every other aspect that you will slide around like legolas shooting arrow... Rama bow style is different to play

[AVRL]

Rama has the highest single shot damage in the game when used with the special ability and I would recommend running crit with it on top of other damage bonuses. You can hit for 3k+ in a single shot with the right build.

It also has a hidden buff that increases damage based the further away you are from the target.

Rama is the strongest aspect
use "Special" Zeus as your primary attack
then try to get Double strike,billow of strength,support fire

[Ken Draken]

Rama is all about marking as many enemies quickly then hit them with normal attack, all marked enemies will take if Rama is fully upgraded 60% of the damage of a enemy hit by a normal attack, hit a group and it does a lot of damage.

For Normal attack get Boons with high % damage mods, or Artemis lower % but higher crit chance, or ones that work well are Aphrodite, Demeter, and Athena to a lesser degree.

For Special and how quickly thing get hit and tagged Dionysus and Demeter are good choices, Ares for extra bust damage combo, Zeus for group coverage, Aphrodite work well here two if you have another effect for normal.

Use it like a shotgun! Be constantly on the move and alternate between Attack and Special Attack often! It heavily relies on Daedalus upgrades to be comfortable, just like Varatha and Exagryph.

These are my go-to upgrades (and Im sorry cuz I don't really read their names, just their effects xD)

-Exploding shot that deals AoE for 300% damage.
-Double shot that fires two arrows side by side
-Triple shot that fires three arrows in a spread pattern
-And a chain shot that lets your attack bounce from enemy to enemy.
-There's also one that gives you 150% more damage in close quarters (only get this if the first four doesn't appear)

If RNG is not letting you get a Hammer room, Elysium's first two rooms will often have a hammer reward. Save your reward re-rolls for Elysium.

Exploding shot + Double shot is my fav combo because it has some good synergy with Rama's special effect. Enemies pretty much take +60% of 600% damage everytime I release Mouse-1, and that's not adding the Doom damage they take from getting hit by the Special.

Exploding + Triple shot is good too, better even, cuz you get 900% more damage. but its tough to get all three shots to hit a small boss. You can melt Lernie with it, but not so much the rest of the crew.

And yes, Doom is great for its special but don't rely on it. Go for any high damaging Attack Boon, especially from Aphrodite or Demeter (including Artemis cuz Critical is amazing)

The charge attack for the Rama is very situational. Unlike its default aspects, Rama is all about dealing damage constantly instead of waiting for it.

I think that considering Rama as a Shotgun was the best advice I read on this game for a long time. I was too focused on high damage single shots and took too much damage and I had trouble increasing heat with this bow. Now i'm more confident and dodge more by doing more but shorter attacks. Big daddy (extreme measures Hades) is still hard to beat sometimes but it's smoother now. Thanks!

I took the Rama bow to fight dad and fulfill the prophesy but then never really went back to it. I could see it's potential but I'm already married to the Hera bow <3. To me, only firing once every 3-4 seconds but having my shots line up to perfectly take out multiple enemies just feels right.

You can also pick up Zeus flourish on the special and spam away, especially if you get the hammer for +4 special hits, Hermes upgrade to special speed, or bonuses to lightning strike radius.

Try to master timing the dash-strike to make it charge up quicker. You don't even need the power shot damage if you get enough damage buffs and a good hammer upgrade.
