Divine and Occult have a negligible damage difference regardless of the wielder's Faith, meaning that the player should pick upgrade path based on if they want the Divine auxiliary effect or its Occult counterpart. Enchanted is not an optimal choice, as its damage falls behind Magic considerably, especially on builds with both high Intelligence and Dexterity. Its high scaling makes it ideal for upgrading along the Magic, Divine or Occult paths while using Moonlight Arrows. The S scaling transfers to either Intelligence or Faith for the magic or divine paths, respectively. It has the highest Dexterity scaling of any bow in the game, but low base damage and Strength scaling, making it better suited for Dex builds. The Black Bow of Pharis has very high range.

If she dies by falling (or being kicked) off a cliff, reloading the game will cause the items that would have been dropped to appear on the spot where she first spawned. Killing her counts as a betrayal against the Forest Hunter covenant if the player is a member at that time. In the Darkroot Garden, it is dropped by the Forest Hunter Archer.
