Weapon overview
Avex
Bows · Grace · Rare
Avex is a Rare Ode'n boundbow requiring both Courage 13 and Grace 11, making it the premium dual-virtue ranged option for hybrid Sirin/Duelo builds in Preludes 15. With 45 base ATK, 24 stagger, and a charged shot that can puncture through multiple enemies, it rewards skilled positioning. Farm weapon fragments from Flayed Reaper, Discharged Nimrod, or Gruul Seeker Ruthos — each foe drops fragments that can also appear in Cogah variant encounters. The Avex upgrade path runs through Thistle on pure Grace routes, then branches to Avex once Courage is invested. Forge 3 fragments at Tuvalkane with Knotwood and Sappheline. Alternatively, purchase directly from Avakot merchant for 240 Dracs. Compared to Blitzel (47 ATK, Grace-only), Avex trades 2 ATK for higher virtue flexibility and stronger charged shots. The lore describes a steel-studded boundbow with spider wire pulleys spinning with planetary power — arrows sturdy enough to be wielded as daggers.
Sirin Founders bow requiring Grace 7 with pure Grace attunement. Obtained from the Wares of Sovereign vendor (Founders Collection) — not farmable from world containers or foes. The fast-draw moveset rewards rapid access shots, giving early Grace bow users a DPS edge before the Maestro Spirit grind unlocks higher-tier bows. Post-Preludes 15: 45 ATK, 113 charged damage, 6% smite chance. A craft backup path exists using Brass×20, Scrap Steel×20, Sappheline×8, and 2500 Dracs, but the primary acquisition remains the Founders Collection vendor purchase. Serves as a pack shortcut bridge weapon for Grace-focused ranged builds in early-to-mid game progression.
