How does attack speed differ between KX and TU?

What is the passive ability of KX, and how does it benefit the party?

KX has a 9% range increase passive that applies to the player and their party members. This effect does not stack but gives a significant advantage in terms of effective range, boosting the party’s overall performance in PVP.

What are the conditions for TU's passive ability to trigger?

TU's passive ability, which deals additional 75% damage, only triggers when you critically hit a target with less than 25% HP. This makes TU more situational, as the passive is conditional on both a crit and the target's HP.

Which bow is better for PVE, KX or TU?

KX is better suited for PVE due to its higher damage output, which is more critical in PVE content where range isn't as important as damage. TU, with its focus on dexterity and cooldown reduction, is more suited for PVP and long-range, fast-paced gameplay.
