Why you should use Simon's Bowblade in Bloodborne

Simon's Bowblade may not be the most OP weapon in Bloodborne, but the Style Points more than make up for it.
If you have any questions about the build or gems used, feel free to ask in the comments.

Simon's bowblade was the reward for dredging through multiple From games with bows that were way to weak or slow, such a stylish and beast weapon

[@AlchemyW]

Alright, you convinced me

[@R1Spam]

DO IT.

Literally just started using it for the first time a few days ago. This thing is insane with maxed out bloodtinge.

I would love to see how much it shreds with 99 BT.

Using Karin's theme and the entire aesthetic of this is FIRE, great video

Absolute BANGER of a song

amazing video like always R1, just amazing on the editing and everything. As a side note, I thought the Blades of Mercy has a beautiful full move set and now you show me this, blood damn it is cool

[@PotentiallyChallenged]

You’re so underrated for how much work you put into these videos keep up the great work

[@KoujiRenamon]

Bruh I just started using Simon's bowblade and I am now just seeing this! 🔥🔥 perfect timing.

[@wulfterran]

Great video! Haven't finished Kirkhammer playthrough, now another one on my list.

[@jackcornford6305]

Beast video mate keep up the good work!

[@SilvaRazor]

I started using it with my chikage build because it fitted in quite well and I'm rushing the new game plusses with it It's really pure joy

[@R1Spam]

Nice! When I get some spare time I might farm some Chalices for Bloodtinge Gems to max out that Bow damage.

[@kablard]

I love your Bloodborne videos!!

[@foxstrom3614]

This is the only time FromSoft did bows right

[@R1Spam]

Bruh why you gotta do DS2 a dirty

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Would've been even better if it scaled with Strength rather than Skill. Real archery involves a lot of brute muscle power.

[@djcrazy941026]

Demons souls bow builds are viable specially with hyper mode. I guess almost everything is with it lol

[@pilot3605]

​@@DinnerForkTonguethe bow scales with Bloodtinge. I think it was a good decision because Bloodtinge in general ,while strong, has limited options compared to the other 3 stats

[@maktabati_]

Elden ring has better bows

I’ve just got the platinum in bloodborne last week and I’m takin a brief break from the game lol when I get back I’d prob give it a shot

[@sekcyseraph2001]

You should try bloodletter. I’m currently doing a play through with that and it’s awesome. I’m only at 50 bloodtinge too so I can’t imagine how much damage I’ll do later, especially with the right blood gems.

[@R1Spam]

I've been asked by a few people to do one. Sadly, I accidentally deleted my Bloodtinge character so I would need to do a fresh run first.

[@ConnerFoxall]

Your a beast with this weapon

[@TheValiantBob]

This and reiterpallasch are two weapons I always wanted to make a build for but was never sure what was the proper way to build my stats between skill and bloodtinge, or what gems to use

[@fmilton20]

Played BB when it released. Beat it through time lol. Made other characters for other classes but always stopped around ROM due to that dreadful fear I have. Recently got interested in Bloodtinge and have taken it all the way to just before the caged headed lunatic dude(forgot the name) and decided to face the DLC once again. Just completed that DLC today(hell yes!) and am at lvl 85. Have 45 pts in BT and 25 in Skill swingin the Chikage and Church Pick in main and Evelyn in off. Love it! Also I never knew that fire dragon guy awakens so I will have to go back and take him on. Then I will have to step back into main game and kill caged head and face my fears of the boss that gave me a lot of trouble in my first playthrough, Ebrietas Daughter of the Cosmos. Dont know why but it took my 50 or more tries back in the day lol. Gonna try and mess with that Simons Bowblade after seeing this.

[@R1Spam]

Nice work with the DLC!

[@xikaryo6735]

Can confirm. Out of all the builds I’ve tried in this game, the bowblade was the closest thing to breaking the game. Chikage + bloodtinge in general is extremely good, I was always shocked me that it was never truly nerfed.

[@maktabati_]

It is not op to be nerfed

[@Mare_Man]

Simon's Bowblade ran so Elden Ring bows could... sorta speedwalk, I guess

[@huzleehussain1249]

Where did u get the gems

[@walgofighter]

I really miss Iceborne😔

[@eileenscat]

I maxed out my Bloodtinge for the Chikage, but I got pretty bored of it after a while. I didn’t want to waste a whole build so I tried this and omfg, some bosses can be so easily cheesed just cause they’re not made for long range fighting.

[@JustJay888]

Gems and stats please

[@gardersin498]

Aw shit, here we go again...

[@spo0kers233]

first time i beat orphan when i was 14 was cause my summon would charge snipe him in the back across the arena for me to visceral 😂 this weapon has no peers

I beat orphan in my live stream with this weapon it rocks it slaps if you know heow to build and use it properly.

[@primdax1597]

Me and my friend Vegeta (running joke between me and him) but we just got the dlc for bloodborne and I told him I heard there was some type of bow weapon in the dlc and he sat there telling me it was crap and not worth getting and then I sit here watch this and just laugh when I get it and start beating him at killing beasts

[@primdax1597]

Though question how do you do a build around Simon's bowblade like I'm unsure what I'm doing

[@BoringManDude]

God I love these

[@R1Spam]

And I enjoy making them :-)

[@pingamalinga]

All charged attacks have decent hyperarmor.

[@thegael791]

You can also get it early by speedsunning to Simon as soon as Old Hunters DLC unlocks, pick up some Blood Chunks and cheese Simon by R2 spamming him behind the pillars. I beat Logarian with the Bowblade right after Rom and having 30 Bloodtinge, 30 Skill and some decent early gems.

[@tobiaskadachi]

I haven't played Elden Ring yet, but this is the best bow gameplay in an Souls game with Miyazaki as the lead director. The other one is Dark Souls 2 (Miyazaki wasn't on the lead) but we love to hate that game, don't we?

[@R1Spam]

The Bow play in Elden Ring is pretty tight. Agreed on DS2 having the best Bow play otherwise (and I am in the camp of people who believe DS2 is the best in the Trilogy).
