Target skill package

Roll and version notes

Core requirements

  1. Constitution and Stamina Surge come before small damage gains because Bow loses both offense and safety when stamina collapses.
  2. Use a separate elemental Calamitous Angel for repeated matchups; Dragon is the most useful single general-purpose starting element.
  3. Charge Master and the correct elemental jewel support the normal charged-shot loop; Spread/Power Shots supports the listed comfort variant.

Progression stages

Low Rank

Start with Quematrice Arco I, then Scylla Fist I. Guardian Rathalos and Rey Dau pieces introduce Weakness Exploit and Constitution.

Early High Rank

Yian Kut-Ku head, arms and legs supply Constitution; Gypceros chest and waist add Stamina Surge. Scylla Fist II is a practical bridge before elemental bows.

Element collection

Add Prominence Bow, Windbrace Bow, Rey Perkonis and Nihil Bow branches for targets you hunt repeatedly rather than farming every element immediately.

HR100+ comfort endgame

Use the table below after Gogmazios and transcendence. Save one loadout per element and change both the element jewel and target bow together.
