Chaos Bow

The Chaos Bow is a unique ranged weapon with chaotic properties and self-upgrading mechanics. It is part of the Chaos Set.

The Chaos Bow is a tier-3 ranged weapon that is filled with the power of Chaos. Each arrow it shoots will carry a piece of chaos energy within it. The bow has special mechanics where it can both upgrade and degrade based on combat performance.

• Tier: 3
• Accuracy: 1.0
• Delay: 1.0
• Damage: Based on level (dmgFactor function: 1 + level * 0.3)
• Image File: items/chaosBow.png
• Upgradable: No (upgrades are handled automatically)

• Self-Upgrading: The bow upgrades itself when the owner does damage, with charge += 1 on successful hits
• Charge Threshold: Upgrades when charge > chargeForLevel() where chargeForLevel() = (int)(5 * Math.pow(level(), 1.5))
• Self-Degrading: Charge decreases by 1 when owner takes damage (never goes below 0)
• Level 6+ Degradation: At level 6 and above, if the charge reaches 0, the bow degrades, losing its enchantment
• Chaos Mark: On missing a target, the bow triggers Chaos Mark at the user's position with intensity: charge + 3*level()
• Image Selection: Image varies based on level (image = Math.max(0, Math.min(level()/3, 4)))
• Damage Calculation: Damage factor increases with level according to formula: 1 + level() * 0.3

The ChaosBow extends the Bow class and implements several override methods:

• ownerDoesDamage(): Increases charge when the owner does damage
• ownerTakesDamage(): Decreases charge when the owner takes damage, handles degradation at level 6+
• dmgFactor(): Calculates damage multiplier based on level
• onMiss(): Triggers Chaos Mark when the bow misses
• isUpgradable(): Returns false to prevent manual upgrades
• restoreFromBundle(): Handles saving/loading with proper image selection

The Chaos Bow is effective for players who engage in combat regularly, as it requires active use to maintain its effectiveness. Its chaotic properties make it a powerful but demanding weapon.

While any class can technically use the Chaos Bow, it works best with classes that have strong ranged combat capabilities.

• Use frequently to maintain the weapon's level and enchantments
• Be aware of the self-degradation mechanic if you're not using it often
• The Chaos Mark effect on missing can be dangerous, so aim carefully
• The bow's damage increases significantly with each level
• Higher levels require more charges to upgrade (chargeForLevel grows with level^1.5)
