Is Force hatchet plus bow still useable for assasins?

[Cryght]

i saw on the dragons dogma wiki about that it boosts strength and affects secondary weapon but those posts were from long ago. i bought force hatchet for my assasin whose at level 23 atm, i got it fully charged but when i looked at my status it didnt show any change in damage. nor did my condition show any "buffs"

Do i have to be much higher level to see a change in damage?

A lot of attack/defense boosting items won’t show on your character sheet. It is likely that Force Hatchet and the other weapons like it are some of those items.

The effect will be there if that exploit does actually work, but you won’t see the effect on your sheet. Check the damage you inflict, instead.

yeah, but you might find the best strategy with a forcehatchett is to carry a dragonforged rusted sheild to bash with, gets rather brutal, even by a lower level pawn (fighter pawn), try it, i think you'll like it.

Force hatchet only affects the damage from the force hatchet, not your bow iirc.

That said, an upgraded force hatchet will give even a low level character enough physical damage to hurt everything before postgame.

It still works in my game world.

Level 76 Assassin with GF Force Hatchet and DF Stalwart Bow(1157 Total Strength on bow according to Status Page)

Unbuffed bow damage against Post Game Giant Undead = 171
I think that I went to Tier 2 of the buff but damage = 335
Fully buffed damage = 406

All of this using the Light attack or LMB and at normal difficulty.
