Ala bow has crap charges(scatter Lv1, pierce Lv3, pierce Lv5...) and explosion type arrow rain which makes it garbage compared to the other ones, so it's better to go with either Jhen or Styg. Jhen doesnt have power coating though.

Dragon: Styg Zin or Jhen

Fire: Gold Ian or Guran

Thunder: Zin

Water: Goldbeard

Ice: Barioth
