GROUNDED: Unbelievable Bow Builds - The Top 5 Bow Builds in 2023
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- In this guide I'll be discussing the top five bow builds in grounded for 2023. Since the 1.0 update, the dev’s have continued to make both minor and major tweaks to combat: Rebalancing our weapons and armor, tweaking debuffs like poison and Venom, and changing how our combat mutations work. With all that said, let’s take a look at what I feel are the BEST archer builds RIGHT NOW!

Thanks for checking out my video!
To better cover the Trophy Hunter, I plan to do another vid showcasing some of the traps I used.
the quality and the amount of work you put in these videos are ridiculous keep em up! ur severely underrated atm!
I appreciate that mate. I deeply enjoy making content like this.
My main dilemma atm is thinking of other things I can cover at this lvl. Still have some build vids in mind, but not sure what else to do until we start getting more content.
@@That1Guy4Never ye i feel you i wanna keep playing and exploring in this game so bad but ive 100% everything but gold cards and it seems like such a grind im not sure i wanna do that xD so ye heres hoping for more content soon!
I'm with you mate. 🤞
The work you put in and quality of this video is awesome lol. Your movie narration voice definitely sets the mood for making these builds seem even better. Keep up that grind man. You have good entertainment value
I appreciate that. Thank you for the comment and support.
I love that your builds have lore. You are quite awesome... I was already part of the 1%. Thanks for these!
Thx Eric. Appreciate the support mate.
One of my favorites currectly is usuing the bards hat and bow with moth armor. Summoning spiders wasps and the mant along with the bleed and posion venom DOTS from wasps and spiders not counting burn if youre using those arrows, plus the chance to buff yourself and summons and debuff foes and have a chance to heal yourself and allies and hurt foes in vicinity makes it a very safe but quicky overwhelomg bow build and amazing in co-op games. Support saboteur summon build all in 1. And its dps isnt too shabby being right below the ox bow in damage but shoots way faster. Less effective on boss fights because reduction and posion immunity but still pretty solid even in boss fights
I'm subscribing because I love how you break down your vid here. Keep up the good work!
I watched the first 30 seconds of your six combat build video and subbed. Amazing content! Awesome editing and great job breaking it down. Thanks for putting in the time with these vids!
Appreciate it! I really enjoy making content.
Great video, great editing, almost felt like buying something you sold it so well! Cheers!
Absolutely my favorite grounded content!! Thank you so much for the effort you put into these videos, very helpful 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much!
I'm glad the video helped you out. If you ever need any help, don't be a stranger - leave me a comment, and I'll be happy to answer.
“The Beast Tryant” or also known as a summoner build has been buffed now by swapping out your helmet with the new bards tutor upgraded sleek and the chest and greaves replaced by wasp chest and greaves both upgraded sleek, your bow now also is the new tier 3 queen wasp bow and your trinket is found in the compost bin that summons black widowlings, and the mutations being Mantserious Stranger to summon the mant, Sharpshooter to make your bow deal more damage, mom genes to summon spiderlings, bardic inspiration because it buffs your bow, and apex predator because it gives you a 25% chance to summon a friendly wasp when an enemy has been shot
Ask any questions about the build if you want
Have you tried the Broodmother Trinket since 1.2.2?
My thinking is the BM trinket instead of the WW trinket. Patch said, not only does BM trinket now have a guaranteed chance to poison with all summons, but that poison is stronger than normal.
Let me know if you test it.
@@That1Guy4Never ok
hah that's almost exactly the build I was gonna try next
New here, but love the way you broke down everything and the awesome verbiage used to colorfully put us in the warrior mindset! I will try out these combos of gear, weapons & perks rain destruction on all bugs in the yard!! Thanks for the video of knowledge !!
i’m glad i found you, subscribed with notifications on! you should do a video showcasing the best builds for each tier
That's a great idea. Thank you for that and the sub!
Your editing is bloody awesome keep it up
This guy is absolutely awesome, I've never seen another grounded youtuber put so much effort into vids, maybe make a vid bout AOE damage, I have a hard time with fire ants on the mixrs
100% earned a new subscription.
Love the videos you do, would love to see you take on the new builds with the updates of the game. With bow builds adding crow arrows you can add/stack more bleed damage. And the use of gas arrows adds more AOE damage to every bug but stink bugs and infected.
Yo this is fantastic. Makes me want to play again!
Always have my bow...thanks for the tips!
Great video and content simple detailed u name it won another subscriber.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate that.
@@That1Guy4Never thank u for making very clear and actually showing gameplay for styles of builds
Subbed for the builds. Let's go dominate the yard
Omg, you earned my subscribe! Great content! I’m kinda all over the place and didn’t know the game was this deep. No idea what kinda player I wanna be.
Such question tho: I never see other players in multiplayer is there no open communal lobbies. Only freinds in multiplayer?
Thats the case. There's no servers or matchmaking. You can hook up with your friends, or some people go on social media, reddit etc to recruit teammates.
Appreciate the sub! If you ever need any help, don't be afraid to hit me up.
I really liked 5 ive been using it in my mid game for right now and i like it a lot
The gunslinger really got me very nice build!
Glad you found one for your playthrough! It's a balanced one for sure. I especially like that you can start this build fairly early.
I watch your videos all the time so I figured I’d sub lol
Thx my friend. I appreciate the sub.
Can u share how u got your damage per shot and dps numbers? Maybe u have a spreadsheet or something.
Just subscribed
Thx for the sub!
Love your content youre amazing and really take on the combat side of grounded
Ty my friend. I'm a build junkie for sure. I have the time of my life just sitting down and theory-crafting out some ideas.
I am a late starter into Grounded but that hasn't taken away from the amount of love I have for this game I've racked up 760 in game days in 4 months I truly love that beautiful backyard
That's impressive! Is that across multiple playthroughs, or is it building that has occupied so much of your time?
I fell in love with this game back in 2020 and have been following it ever since. Obsidian really knows how to make fun games! I think it's impressive how much content they've dropped since then, and just how much more they've promised to release. It's very exciting.
@@That1Guy4Never sorry just seeing this but no this was my very first playthrough so it's got alot of meaning. Around day 700 my editor and stream Mod she finally decided to give it a try and she's amazing she has 2900 hours in Ark so she has Quickly turned my world into something gorgeous 😍 For almost the whole game I only had a small little base that my day 1 friend helped built but then they got burnt out and I ended up doing the story mode about 50% by myself. I love to grind tho so I had more than enough materials and bug guts for multiple people to be fully looted so it was just about making the world feel more comfy and now my world is gorgeous with the help of some friends and it's something I truly am proud of and look forward to logging into each day
@@That1Guy4Never btw I am now at 840 days on the world ahaha been racking it up each day
The amount of smartness you have is crazy thank you so much you are very good at the game. Do you have any good base locations?
That really made my day, Spence. Thank you for the kind words.
I sure do have some good base spots. What kinda features are you looking for regarding a spot? (Ie. centrally located, raid safe, early game, end game spot, easy xyz resource access)
@@That1Guy4Never yes I do something that is good for ziplines mid-end game. Thank you
1) high up on the oak tree. It takes time and resources, but once you are setup there, it's by far the best zip line hub as you can start there even early game.
2) On the rock wall of the Upper Yard Ascent (just above the Frankenline). Easy to get to even early on with some building. Very safe, and your zip tower doesn't need to be too too tall.
3) Wendell's table next to his chair on the shed porch. You can build on most of it. Again, gonna take a little work to get started. But build out of mushroom bricks or cement and it goes faster than you'd think. Build a small pad for ziplines on top of the back of his chair - Its so high you can easily zip to just about anywhere.
@@That1Guy4Never Thank you, I will definitely try those they sound good.
Will you add more builds in 1.2? they added a lot of things that are good for ranged players! I hope you do because your melee and ranged combat guides are some of the best grounded videos I saw. And another little question: isn't the ox wizard build considered as a ranged build?
For now, I won't be making more grounded videos. I'm switching to covering Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
I do have more builds planned. It's just gonna be awhile before I circle back to make content for grounded.
To answer your question about Ox armor, it's not a ranged build. It functions very well with staves, clubs and spear weapons that you plan to charge the heavy attack. It's probably my favorite armor att.
epic video
Thanks Kirokama. Glad you enjoyed it.
Can you make new builds with the new armor added?
Wow the kiss is death looks really interesting I’ll try it when I craft the black ox crossbow and kill a moth
Edit: I finally got it thanks for the build it performs really good but I think I might switch to gun slinger to minimize wastage of arrows
Updated version with the super duper update? The wasp boss dropped bow stuff and the infected broodmother gives more explosions
One idea for a new video top 6 wizard builds
Song on number 3?
How does bro only have 1500 subs bro is great
🫶
Since there is the new bard bow , would you replace the black ox crossbow with the bard bow for the gunslinger bulid?
I'd keep the BOC.
The Beast Tyrant should definitely switch to the Bards Bow though.
From my main pkaythrough the thor pendant was deleted from my save
You should do small lands videos once it comes out
Maybe. Who knows!
What difficulty are these done on? Im doing the Kiss of Death built and its going well, but i feel a little weak against some enemies (I play on Medium!)
Some enemies have poison and spicy resistance. Not gonna do too well against those.
I just learned from data-miners, that the poison from the Mask of the Mother Demon, Venom Arrows and The Broodmother Trinket were stealth patched. Their dmg was reduced by a gut-wrenching 70%. So, it's no wonder this build is dealing significantly less dmg.
@@That1Guy4Never That makes so much sense now lol. I moved over to the Trophy Hunter build and havent looked back since, its definitely the most fun!
yesyes
For the beast tyrant can you switch out the insect bow for bards bow?
And is the bards bow better for the beast tyrant
Super duper updated guide?
You should do this again, they added a new bow and a new trinket that could be used in the summon build
Time is not on my side. But I would really like to.
Sorry, Just found out how rude It sounds now that i read It again, i wanted to apologise
What i actually meant Is that i liked really much and i would like to know if the widowling trinket can be used instead of the broodmother one
W
Hello do you have any builds that does good against the wasp in the new update?
On top of there being new gear, alot of stuff has been rebalanced. I'm actively (re)testing everything. Gonna take me some time, but I'll have some new stuff out.
Even though most of my builds will need reevaluated, they should all still be a good starting point for dealing with the new content. Modify as necessary.
Hope to have a better answer for you soon.
My Ox Wizard build for sure. The staves are by far the strongest thing here.
Charged Spicy shot to get aggro, while dealing a massive dmg as an opening hit. Swap to sour staff and use charged shots. The sour shots stun and juggle them around, which stops them from barraging you with attacks and debuffs. Sour staff was buffed as well, so it hits HARD now.
Other good options are the Black Ox Crossbow with Salt Arrows and Pollen Arrows (start with pollen til you get a stun then swap to salt to finish them). And, A Salt Morning Star with a good shield (use Barbarian for more dmg).
As a general tactic, pull only one regular wasp at a time. Save the Drone for last - he's the hardest of the group to deal with, plus he heals the group.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@That1Guy4Never once killed the queen, is there any builds you can use with the armor and weapon?
Haven't developed one just yet. Waiting for the dust to settle on this on as the devs are likely to re-rebalance everything when it goes official.
Tentatively, the new gear is gonna make my Beast Tyrant build an absolute monster. Using the new bard hat, bard bow, wittle widowling charm, and the mutations: moms Genes, mantsterious, and bardic inspiration. That'll give you 4 summonable creatures. It's gonna be nuts if they don't nerf it.
@@That1Guy4Never Do you know when the official release is coming out?
If you block with crossbows after shooting, it automatically reloads. So basically you have an assault rifle and can do up to 4 times the dps of a normal crossbow.
If you shoot before the debuff is over after shooting, your shot does -80% damage and uses 30% more stamina. So you are not doing more damage by spamming it.
@@Garmr2000 figured that already. Wish they wouldn't have added that
@@XRElectric yea. If you want a bow build lemme know I can help. It's a bleed build
@@Garmr2000 I think my tank vampire build is doing just fine for me. But thanks for the offer
If the bards bow and ox bow are similar in terms of damage, wouldnt the ox bow be the best bow because you can recovery cancel on crossbows? I can literally shoot out like 10 arrows in a row before i run out of stamina lol
Rough reload
You don't need the reload speed perks, Actually you can instantly reload ur crossbow by clicking on the parry botton after every shot, Your crossbow will turn into a machine gun
I appreciate the comment! But, I'm always blown away by how many people get this wrong.
Crossbows have the perk Rough Reload (more of a debuff) that causes arrows shot faster than they are intended, as in animation canceling, it, causes the next arrow to do a whopping -80% dmg and cost 30% more stamina.
You're handicapping yourself, friend.
Tap block on reload for black ox cb reload speed reduced to instant
Bad idea. Crossbows now have the perk Rough Reload. If you attempt to bypass the reload speed, your next shot deals 80% less dmg.
Think anything changed with the update?
Yes. Thanks to data-miners we now know that they stealth-nerfed poison (again). Poison has been so nerfed that The Kiss of Death Build isn't very viable anymore.
Some other minor things. But not worth mentioning.
I dont use bows but i wanted to see the insane stats
Hopefully I didn't disappoint 😄
Looks like I'm going looking for all the parts to build an ox bow 😂
What build are you thinking of trying?
Mama look at me now!!! Top 1%!!!
🤣
Now all I have to do is bring for the black ox cross bow I all I need are pinecone pieces now😅
Assuming you have the ox hammer, there are pine cones in a couple fairly safe areas.
I’m scared of green shield bugs lol😅
Can't help with a phobia. But there is an easy one you can safely snipe under the shed porch. Stand on the fertilizer bag and he goes down without any fuss.
Oh thanks!
I think having to do that much prep for regular mobs makes a build unviable. A good build shouldn't need you to run around with a ton of mats to protect yourself or take enemies down. You are just shoring up weaknesses. There is some good info here, just not for average game play. I'm mainly talking about your number one.
Highly disagree. But that's the beautiful thing, we can all have our own opinions.
The #1 is #1 because of how versatile it is, and how it CAN (doesn't HAVE to) take advantage of every system in the game to maximize its effectiveness.
It's a build for a certain type of player - one who likes creative and interesting solutions to combat. If you prefer straightforward meathead style combat, I certainly do at times, you'd do much better with a melee build like Venom Berserker or something simple like the Gunslinger.
I feel like salt is underused it needs to have some ability or something to make it worth using with arrows
Actually salt is extremely strong right now. Most of the toughest end-game bugs are weak to it: Black Ox Beetles, Mantis, Wasp Queen, Wasps & Drones, Roly Poly.
Oh dang I actually didn’t even know that ok then
I do hope we get a Salt Staff at some point though.
@@That1Guy4Never but what would it do? It would be cool though
I could see it being the Air element (we have fire, ice, and electric so far). Like it shoots out a tornado from the staff. Charged shot shoots out a larger tornado that tracks the enemy.
If you block right after shooting the cross bow it reloads it so you can basically go full auto as long as you have stamina
hi
I know I wont be playing this game for long, but I'll subscribe your channel. Only 1% sub, man its heart breaking 😢. Inshah allah one day you will get lots of subscribers.
Thanks for the love mate. Much appreciated. I do it for fun. If success comes of it, that's great. But it's not the most important thing to me.
Crossbows got nerfed...they deal less damage now, kinda sucks tbh
Are you sure? I ask because there's no mention of any straight nerf to crossbows, or any bow for that matter.
What was added is a welcome new mechanic called "rough reload." This perk allows you to block while reloading (for crossbows). However, if you shoot faster than the normal reload time, your shot is significantly reduced in dmg. This is to punish players trying to exploit block canceling to shoot faster.
@@That1Guy4Never do you think black ox is still the best dps with the new queen bow I also use apex club which would spawn wasps for some bonus damage but I’m not 100% sure
For bows, its all preference. Personally, i think the new bow is S-tier when combined with my Beast Tyrant build (add Widdle Widowling, Bardic Tudor, and Bardic Inspiration).
If you're asking just any weapon, melee weapons outclass bows in raw dmg by a mile (bows are just more convenient and safer).
While I still love clubs, they are much more unwieldy since the update, and the Club of the Mother Demon was hugely nerfed (Venom tick reduction, and Stam cost)...I'd have to lean more towards things like: Salt Morning Star, Toenail Scimitar, Sour Battle Ax, and especially the Staves. All the magic staves are A-to-S-Tier in my book.
@@That1Guy4Never alright I’ll take your word for it snd go the way of the wizard it’s technically still ranged and close so works for me
I hope you enjoy it! Check out my Ox Wizard build if you need help optimizing it (th-cam.com/video/mE5ZjF0nIBM/w-d-xo.html)
Learning from the natives... 😂
If you block after shooting it instant reloads the arrows.
I'd love to know a good bow build but I'm new at the game and you started the video with the extremely late game items.
I guess your vids aren't for new players.
Happy to help. This is a top 5 bow build video, The best of the best... so of course it's all late game stuff.
Early on, get a crow crossbow (skip insect bow) and marksman cap for dmg buff. Try to farm out more feathers for feather arrows.
Once you have access to Termite Axe, start farming splinters for splinter arrows.
Mutations are gonna be the same as in this video. Prioritize Sharpshooter, Coup de Grasse (th-cam.com/users/shorts_Oxau89C4YA?feature=share), and Cardio Fan early on.
@@That1Guy4Never Damn. That's the best reply I've ever gotten
Glad to be of service. Hope you're enjoying your time in the game. Don't be afraid to ask for help anytime.
