Use

The Flarewing Bow is a craftable Hardmode bow and the direct upgrade to the Hellwing Bow. When used, it converts Wooden Arrows into obsidian bats that inflict the Hellfire debuff on hit and home in on enemies after piercing them once. All ammunition is fired in volleys of three parallel arrows, consuming one arrow per volley.

Its best modifier is Unreal.
