  • The Explosive Bow is great for goblin commissions in the Dwarven Mines. The AOE damage of the bow allows players to quickly kill goblins.
  • Sword Swapping to another weapon to boost damage does not work anymore due to sword swapping for projectiles being patched.
  • The Explosive Bow can be used as a substitute for Superboom TNT as the explosion can destroy tombs and breakable walls.

    • This allows it to deal double damage if the arrow explosion is in range of the hit enemy.
