Bow, long range. Strong passive criticals, no passive attack speed. High-level skills are expensive (43–65 MP).

[Super skill page →](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/superskill-500) · [Bowmistress](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/class-500) · [← Auto-hunt ranking](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/autohunt)

## What matters

**What matters:** critical multiplier and attack speed. This line's passive critical chance is already high, so the multiplier gains more than extra chance. Skills are expensive, so watch your mana.

**What super skills add:** +10% attack speed ([Sudden movements](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/skill-10001)), critical multiplier ([Trembling Wave](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/skill-10008)), two area skills and a strong hit every 12 s ([Whisper of death](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/skill-10013)). Damage and area improve, but mana gets tighter.

## Recommended super picks (6)

Values are for level 5 of the skill. The starred option is my pick for auto-hunting.

## Super skill stone advice

Super skill stones **add to the skill's cooldown**. The Buff (self) and Buff (self + party) stones that go on buff skills add +60, +180 or +600 s, attack stones +21–62 s. Among active stones the only family without a cost is “Cooldown reduction”, which shortens the cooldown by 1–5 s; passive stones add no cooldown. The rates below are calculated from the stones' cooldown additions.

Example: in the [Gunner](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/class-800) line, fitting a +60 s Acceleration stone on [Rapid Fire](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/skill-16009) makes the buff's uptime 22% instead of 48% (only the cooldown addition is counted). Do not put Buff (self) / Buff (self + party) stones on short-cooldown buffs.

### Buff super skills

Uptime = duration ÷ cooldown. The colours and the advice measure **only the cooldown cost**: green means a loss of at most 15%, yellow up to 35%, red more. The value of the stone effect and the stone's own duration (under the column header) are not counted. For stones with their own duration, uptime would be much lower if that duration applied to the whole buff (not certain), so the option without its own duration is shown separately.

| Line | Super skill | Duration / Cooldown | No stone | +60 s Duration: 10 s | +3 min Duration: 0 s | +10 min Duration: 5 s / 10 s | Advice |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Bowmistress](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ahline-500) | [National treasure](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/skill-10010) | 2 min 40 s / 7 min | **38%** | 33% | 27% | 16% | [Acceleration (attack speed)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ssfam-6106) [Unique Acceleration Stone (Amplification)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-610605) Attack Speed **+12%** · Duration **10 s** · Cooldown **+60 s** [Iron wall (critical damage reduction)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ssfam-6201) [Unique Iron Wall Stone (Reinforcement)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-620105) Critical damage reduction **+10%** · Duration **10 s** · Cooldown **+60 s** [Acceleration (movement speed)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ssfam-6203) [Unique Acceleration Stone (Amplification)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-620305) Movement Speed **+10%** · Duration **10 s** · Cooldown **+60 s** Small cooldown cost: +60 s, uptime loss 13%. The stone's duration is 10 s, the skill's duration 2 min 40 s. If that duration applied to the whole buff, uptime would be 2.1%. Unknown Option without its own duration (+3 min): uptime 27%, loss 30%. [Unique Health Theft Stone (Enhancement)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-610105) · [Unique Damage Reflection Stone (Gain)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-610205) · [Unique Stone of Life (Amplification)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-620405) |

Only some families' stones have their own duration (+60 s → 10 s; +10 min → 5 s / 10 s); for those stones the tooltip shows the stone's duration instead of the skill's. The +3 min families' stones have no duration of their own and the tooltip shows the skill's own duration. Whether that duration applies only to the stone's extra effect or to the whole buff is unknown. Unknown

### Damage and debuff super skills

Cooldown reduction (Unique: −5 s) lets the skill fire more often. Violent shock (Unique: damage +100% according to the description, cooldown +21 s) only makes sense on damaging skills; exactly how the multiplier is applied is unknown. The “×” value compares the total effect per unit of time with no stone. The lower limit of cooldowns is unknown, so cells with a large gain carry a ? mark.

| Line | Super skill | Cooldown | Cooldown reduction | Violent shock | Advice |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [Bowmistress](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ahline-500) | [Sound wave](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/skill-10002) Damage | 26 s | 21 s ×1.2 | ×1.11 | [Cooldown reduction](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ssfam-6311) [Unique Cooldown Reduction Stone (Attack)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-631105) Cooldown **\-5 s** |
| [Bowmistress](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ahline-500) | [Spiritual Rush](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/skill-10006) Damage | 26 s | 21 s ×1.2 | ×1.11 | [Cooldown reduction](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ssfam-6311) [Unique Cooldown Reduction Stone (Attack)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-631105) Cooldown **\-5 s** |
| [Bowmistress](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ahline-500) | [Whisper of death](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/skill-10013) Damage | 12 s | 7 s ×1.7 | ×0.73 | [Cooldown reduction](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/ssfam-6311) [Unique Cooldown Reduction Stone (Attack)](https://karos-wiki.pages.dev/en/item-631105) Cooldown **\-5 s** |

How the damage multiplier is applied and whether cooldowns have a lower limit is unknown; on very short cooldowns the real gain may be smaller. Control stones (shock, suspension, silence) are mostly for PvP. Unknown

Passive super skills (Lv.10 and Lv.45 rows) take passive stones, which add no cooldown; a Health stone is the safest choice for auto-hunting.
