Is rust a good bow for Sara?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

When it comes to choosing a bow for Kujou Sara, there are several factors to consider. One popular choice among players is the Rust bow. However, in my opinion, Rust may not be the best option for Sara. Let me explain why.

First and foremost, Kujou Sara’s playstyle revolves around fully charged shots. She excels in dealing high burst damage with her charged attacks. The Rust bow, on the other hand, focuses on increasing normal attack damage. While Rust does provide a significant boost to normal attack damage, it doesn’t offer any specific bonuses to charged shots. This mismatch in abilities makes Rust less than ideal for maximizing Sara’s potential.

On the other hand, Amos’ Bow stands out as a top choice for Kujou Sara. This weapon enhances the damage of fully charged shots and rewards players who can shoot arrows from a distance. Since Sara’s charged shots are her main source of damage, Amos’ Bow complements her playstyle perfectly. The increased damage from fully charged, far-flying arrows synergizes well with Sara’s abilities and allows her to deal even greater damage to enemies.

Additionally, Amos’ Bow has a passive ability called “Strong-Willed” that further boosts charged attack damage by 12% for every 0.1 seconds charged. This means that the longer you charge your shot, the more damage you will deal. For a character like Kujou Sara, who relies on charged shots, this is an incredibly valuable ability that can significantly increase her damage output.

In terms of personal experience, I have used both Rust and Amos’ Bow on Kujou Sara, and the difference in damage output is noticeable. With Rust, while the normal attack damage was decent, I found myself missing out on the full potential of Sara’s charged shots. However, once I switched to Amos’ Bow, the damage increase was remarkable. Not only did my charged shots hit harder, but the passive ability also allowed me to optimize my damage by charging shots for longer durations.

To summarize, while Rust may seem like a good bow due to its overall damage boost, it may not be the best choice for Kujou Sara. Amos’ Bow, on the other hand, enhances her charged shots and provides additional bonuses for fully charged, far-flying arrows, aligning perfectly with her playstyle. Based on personal experience and considering Sara’s abilities, I would highly recommend using Amos’ Bow to maximize her potential as a powerful archer.
