Notes

• This skill creates a Spirit of Favorable Winds.
• When used in conjunction with Read the Wind, the bonus damage stacks, but the speed does not (i.e. arrows still move twice as fast).
  • Read the Wind is a slightly better choice for Flatbows, since the preparation also lowers the arc, making it less likely that foes will dodge.

Trivia

• Archer's Signet and Favorable Winds are the only non-bow attack or preparation skills that require a bow.
