Bow or flint & steel?

[Coolgear13]

I've always wondered which is better. Both have there ups and downs but I want other peoples opinions?

Depends on the situation. FnS is better on land but useless in water.

I use sword, but I like to use flint and steel, then shoot them I they are on fire

BOW SPAMMING FTW

Bow spamming deals no damage or half a heart to a guy with full iron, assuming its is low powered. It MAY be useful in tight corners but just use fns in corners

For melee, I would go for flint and steel.

Flint n Steel does 3 hearts if I'm correct, yet a fully charged how can do 2 hearts each shot to an opponent in full iron. Yet as people have been saying, depends on your situation.
• If you don't have many arrows, then I would definitely go for flint n steel, but the 180 turn around bow shot canbe deadly. However, if you have only a few arrows, it'd not really worth it.
• If you're being chased, then flint n steel is great for slowing the enemy down and gaining a small respite to eat, or think up a plan for escape.
All up, this is like asking whats better? An elephant or a spanner? There is no real answer, because they both have different uses.

Well, it definitely depends on the map!
On the land maps, I'd prefer flint and steel, most of my games that I have won involved be lighting, who I imagine to be Cato, on fire. But sometimes there's water at corn. On maps like Moonlight Lake, Breeze Island, and Demon's Breeze, I'd prefer to have the bow. Both the bow and the flint and steel combined could be a deadly duo, though. While flint and steel will make the homemade inferno unable to sprint, and it deals around 4-5 hearts of damage, the bow deals 2 hearts of damage when it is at full charge. All together, the flint and steel is what I would choose on most maps. (Except the grass though.... whole other story)
