Build it. The Paris Prime is a silent, high-crit bow that excels at single-target damage. Its main weakness is projectile travel time, requiring leading targets.
The Paris adapter from the Steel Path Circuit fits Paris Prime: headshots charge an Incarnon form that fires a fan of explosive arrows, and it is still one of the best bows in the game.
The Paris Prime is the Prime variant of the Paris, offering significant upgrades in damage, critical chance, critical multiplier, and status chance. It maintains the silent nature and pinpoint accuracy of its base model.
This bow primarily deals Puncture damage, making it effective against armored targets. Its charged shots also feature innate 3-meter punch through, allowing it to hit multiple enemies in a line.
With its high critical chance, the Paris Prime can consistently land critical hits, especially when augmented with mods. It also has an Incarnon Genesis adapter available, further enhancing its capabilities.
