This guide is for anyone looking to take their Bow gameplay in Brawlhalla to the next level through lesser-known but powerful tech combos and advanced coverage options. Whether you’re a three-dex legend main or just want to understand the mechanics behind elite-level Bow pressure, this collection of tech is here to optimize your gameplay and setup your win conditions.
1. Delight into Dair (DLight>Dair)
- A classic tech combo.
- Reverse input at close range for consistency.
- Works up to orange health depending on dexterity.
- Potential follow-ups: nair, endlight, or ground pound.
- Situationally strong when Delight>Recovery isn’t viable.
2. Close-Range Sidelight into Nair (SLight>Chase Dodge>Nair)
- Extremely valuable at white health.
- Dash into SLight, hit close, chase dodge forward, immediate nair.
- Excellent for converting pressure into a juggle.
- Sets up juggling opportunity, positioning opponent right above you.
3. Sidelight>Endlight Tech
- Can true combo off a perfectly spaced back-end neutral light.
- Rarely seen due to difficulty but viable at low health.
- Situational, but efficient if mastered.
4. Wall and Corner Combos
- SLight>Sair works freely at the ledge.
- SLight>Chase Dodge Down>Recovery true combos near the wall.
- Excellent for converting pressure into a stock.
- Creates 50/50s and strong juggle setups.
5. Sidelight Coverage (In/Up/Spot Dodges)
- Walk forward > Endlight: Catches in, up, and in-up dodges.
- Coverage continues pressure even on dodge read fails.
- Transition into juggle depending on opponent’s position.
6. Sidelight Coverage (Away Dodges)
- SLight>Dash Jump>Forward Sair.
- Continues advantage and covers jump or dodge-out options.
- If opponent jumps again: Dash>Endlight or chase again.
- Objective: maintain pressure and maximize stage control.
7. Nair Coverage After Sair/Dair Hits
- Jump Chase Dodge > Nair in direction of expected dodge.
- Excellent vs. away or up-away dodges.
- Sets up a safe juggle from center stage.
- Especially useful if endlight won’t reach.
8. Dare Followups
- Dare > Standstill Endlight: Covers in/spot dodges post-dare.
- Dare > Chase Dodge Nair (high jump required): Good vs. away dodges.
- Slightly harder than Sair variants due to Dare’s knockback height.
Key Takeaways:
- Bow thrives on taking up space and simplifying interactions with precise setup attacks.
- Most of the tech relies on chaining aerial hits and optimizing chase dodges.
- Positioning is king. Many of these combos won’t hit unless the SLight, Dare, or Sair is perfectly spaced.
- Coverage options make neutral wins far more rewarding when the follow-ups are consistent.
Final Note:
Bow is fundamentally about consistent stage control and safe juggling. While these tech combos won’t out-damage gauntlets or cannon in raw string damage, they provide consistency, space control, and open up reliable kill confirms.
Practice the tech, internalize the setups, and start reading dodges like a book. Once you do, Bow becomes one of the most rewarding and dominant weapons in the game.
Good luck out there, and may your hitboxes always cover just enough.
