10. Demolition Charge Arrow
Kate Bishop is basically Hawkeye 2.0, seeing as she is Hawkeye’s apprentice. She uses the same weapons, a combination of a bow and arrow plus sword, with a unique twist to her skills. While Hawkeye uses Trick Arrows, Kate uses Quantum Energy to cause mayhem on the battlefield. Playing as Kate Bishop, you’ll need to get these skills to truly unlock her potential.
First on the list is the Demolition Charge Arrow. For avid Avenger’s players, you will know that the Demolition Charge Arrow is the Kate Bishop equivalent of the Split Shot Arrow, which is Hawkeye’s most used move by any player.
