Graphics

Kudzu is a green longbow covered in flowers. Its riser consists of a dryad carrying a golden spear with a thistle texture overlay that pulses gold. While drawn the bow sheds petals.

Critical hit effects

• Critical strikes while wielding Kudzu will cause flowers and leaves to blossom on your target(s).

Draw/Stow effects

• A birdsong is heard when drawing/stowing the bow.
• A patch of grass and flowers appears at feet before fading, similar to the footfall effect but larger.

Footfalls

• The user leaves behind footprints of flowers and grass.

Skill effects

• A birdsong is heard upon firing the bow.
• Default projectiles are replaced with the spear the dryad is holding, which also leaves flower petals in its path.

Bug:

There is a bug where Kudzu's projectiles will become other Kudzus, making it appear as though you are firing copies of the longbow instead of the normal projectiles.

Trivia

• Kudzu is a vine-plant native to southern Japan and southeast China. It is also very invasive, hard to kill and has taken over much of the southern United States.
• The Heart of Thorns expansion added new graphics to the bow (leaves and vines on drawing and forearm effect.)
  • Additionally, the Rising Flames release replaced the normal black bowstring with a golden one.
