cant do thousand dragons with the bow

[Bloodyboo12]

i just did it multiple times in the practice room, went into an actual hunt and couldnt do it for some reason, and yes i have iceborne and had slinger ammo.

Did you switch to slinger aim first?
also you can do it even without slinger ammo

[Deviljhok]

The bow, and the guns are, in my opinion, ''support arms'', I say that because for strong monsters is more difficult take it down, you can hunt all monsters with all of the arms, but if you not have ability with this ''support arms'' the hunting it will take more time and sometimes you will die, but its more funny hunt with it.

If you're gonna be wrong and subjective at the same time, could you at least do it while the topic is about how those weapons perform?

You need to be using unsheathed slinger aim, then press R (reload key) + RMB (same key as quick shot) at the same time.

Good thing it's your opinion cause factually the bow is top 5 if not top 3 in terms of strength so it is definitely not a "support arms" as you call it unless you're really bad.

As for TC, to fire thousand dragons you need to have bow unsheathed, aim with it, press F to aim clutch claw on keyboard, then R + special attack. Special attack button is what you use for spread and quick shots. (idk controller button)

You need to perform the Dragon Piercer attack immediately after you switch aim.

On a Joypad:
1. Have the bow drawn (like it is ready to fire arrows).
2. L2 (Aim) + Press down the camera joystick (R3) then immediately press both buttons for dragon piercer.

On a Keyboard / mouse (default settings)
1. Draw the bow.
2. Mouse Right Click (Aim) + Q to switch into Sliger/Clutch claw mode THEN IMMEDIATELY press C (Dragon Piercer).

Please note: out of all the slingers, Piercing yields the highest damage. The rest are just not worth your time and effort. (You'll be better off just use dash dance + spread power shot combo.)

You can, or at least you should be able to, hold the slinger aim as long as you want/need.

Obviously in a fight you ideally want to get it out as fast as possible, but as long as you are aiming your slinger you can delay the 'dragon piercer' input as long as you want.

If what you meant by can't perform thousand dragon is because it activates clutch claw, then pess R slightly earlier before the spread shot/clutch claw button.

Hmm... are you keeping 'Aim' held down after switching to Slinger mode? if not, try that.

To clarify:
1. Hold 'Aim' Key/Button
2. Press 'Aim Slinger' Key/Button
3. Press 'Dragon Piercer' Key(s)/Buttons
4. Release 'Aim' Key/Button
