Whats the best elementless and element bow build in base game?

[노제]

wanted to know what is the best elementless and element bow build without the Iceborne DLC cause im poor af to get it.

generally people don't make non-elemental bows unless it's a DP meme build since most of the attacks don't scale well with raw. For elemental bow, just aim for 100% affinity, elemental crit, and elemental damage + more or less. oh also you wanna farm for bow charge deco. adds another lvl of bow shot and it's amazing.

For element it's gonna be Kjarr Bow everytime (I think? Lack of power coating hurts water). Unfortunately that's not farmable right now.

Then you just max the element skill for the element you're using, get as high affinity as you can, use Normal Shot and Spread Shot decos and you should be golden. Not sure how much of it is possible in base game compared to IB, since much less decoration slots are available.

fire thunder is taroth with free elem 3
other is kjaar in my opinion

after update i dont think anja still fire king, but i dont know the exact info

I use Kjarr on elemental, except taroth on thunder, and Safi on water due to no power phials.

Elementess is good for monsters with bad zones like nergigante and zinogre. Also I use it if I want to play bow against multiple monsters like GL or the crown event quests. I use the Safi shatterbow, but I've read the raging bracy bow is better. I jist can't seem to get it to out perform the Safi bow though.

As others have said, there technically isn’t a good elementless bow. Buuuut if you still want to roll with it the Safi-Shatterbow when given full damage upgrades can put out some decent numbers. Also as a kind of sidegrade, the Lightbreak raging brachy bow when focusing on blast procs and the blast coating can do some work as well.

Can't fault you on your intentions, but it does pay to read the entire post:

If you want to go elementless. For base game, your best bet is probably either Diablos or Deviljho (not technically Elementless but it has more raw, slightly better affinity and an additional augment slot, though the Diablos bow does have 2 level 1 slots).

For builds, you can use them how you want, though Raw does excel at the rather amusing Dragonpiercer-Only style which basically consists of:
Drawing -> Fully charging -> Dragonpiercer -> Sheathe -> Repeat...

Skills for such a style are typically:
Critical Draw 3
Critical Boost 3
Piercing Shots 2 (though it may be limited to 1 without Iceborne)
Special Ammo Boost 2
Bow Charge Plus
Non-Elemental Boost (if applicable)
Critical Eye (only enough to reach 0% affinity, if base is negative)

Then as much additional raw damage as you can pack in after any Survivability/Utility skills you want to run (though it's worth bearing in mind you don't need any stamina skills for this style)

Taroth Arrow "Fire"?... yes ... actually seems like that might be slightly better than the others mostly on the grounds of not having to invest in offsetting a negative affinity.

Though, this is assuming you can get a hold of it, which I guess is the benefit of the 'blos and 'jho options.

Cera Coilbender's great for an elementless critical draw dragon pierce build.
