Don't think that just because, as a bow user, you deserve to do less damage as a trade-off for the relative safety enjoyed over melee users. With the right setup, bows can churn out a dizzying sequence of big numbers faster than a single Great Sword swing.

Setting foot in the Coral Highlands for the first time, you'll be greeted by the shrill cry of Legiana, an irritable wyvern that loves nothing more than to turn its prey into oversized ice cubes. Before moving on with business, you'll be tasked with taking down this foul menace just once, but if you champion the bow, stick around and do some farming.

Equipping the full set will unlock Legiana's Favour, providing an additional charge to the bow and dramatically upping its offence game, as well as Divine Blessing, which will half all incoming damage when activated. Evade Window provides the icing by massively widening your Hunter's invulnerability period while dodging.

Those latter buffs are available on other armours, but Legiana's Favour can't be found anywhere else, making it overall a top-tier pick for bow users.
