🏹 How to Play Badon Bow in the Mists (Albion Online)

Badon is a versatile weapon for the Mists. Since its E can no longer be reflected, it’s one of the safest burst bows for solo PvP.

🧠 General Gameplay

• Spam Q to build 3 stacks.
• Pop E the moment you hit 3 stacks to unleash AoE burst.
• Use W for repositioning and to slow your target.

Tip: Keep W off cooldown when you expect an engage — it’s your only true disengage.

⚔️ Facing Melee Builds

1. Kite at max range with Q and D.
2. When a Dual Swords (or any gap-closer) presses E, instantly away so they miss.
3. Continue poking; if they reach you, press R to drop aggro or cancel a healing jacket.
4. Reset distance, rebuild stacks, and burst again.

Distance is key — never let a melee stick to you for longer than one Glaive swing!

🏹 Facing Ranged Builds

• Open with R if you expect an early burst.
• Abuse your superior mobility with W and boots to out-position them.
• Focus on burst timing — stack Q, bait defensive, then land E.

Pro Tip: Against kiting bows or crossbows, play around cooldowns — never waste E into their defensives.

💡 Advanced Tips

• Your E hits in waves — aim to land the initial shot and time the explosion when enemies try to re-engage or pop defensives.
• Use terrain to your advantage. Trees and corners are your best allies against melees.
• You can interrupt most channel spells (like Mercenary Jacket) with Q or W.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Badon Bow rewards players who stay calm under pressure and know when to disengage. It’s a deadly kite tool in the Mists, and in the right hands, it turns every fight into a calculated dance of distance and cooldowns.

Stay light on your feet, and let the lightning strike for you.
