Playing against bow

[MooFunMan]

I don't know how to play against bow, I find it the most difficult weapon to face because of its fast, and long range moves. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to leave some.
I also mainly play xull.

dash as if your life depended on it
and stop approaching with the axe from above
the bow is the god of block everything that comes to you diagonally and you just have to jump back to block anything that comes from above
the best against it is the calculated movement
if you move slowly while having a slow weapon like the axe, you only put yourself more at a disadvantage.

ya i agree

Play against bow the opposite of how you would play against lance/scythe. There's a somewhat small deadzone where dlight won't hit you, and slight only hits if they don't dash, so if you can play in that deadzone, bow really can't hurt you.

hey bud, sorry but nobody asked XD OP asked HOW to beat the bow with xull, not if YOU could beat the bow with cannon lmao

staying on the ground i feel is more dangerous than floating above, as bow plays can use slight and dlight on you for combos
