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.
