The Eros Arrow Skin can only be acquired during the week of Valentine's Day.
This Valentine's Day-themed skin was released during The Heart Of The Lotus update (Hotfix 15.14.1 (2015-02-14)) for a limited time.
They leave a visible trail of hearts, which are especially noticeable in flight, though the effect will persist if the arrow embeds itself into an object.
Equipping
The Eros Arrow Skin can be equipped as a cosmetic item in the Attachments section of a bow's Appearance options.
Notes
- Can be used on the Attica and Zhuge, although only the heart-shaped projectile trails are visible.
- The color of the projectile trail is affected by the weapon's energy color.
- The Eros Arrow Skin returns on Valentine's Day, as with other holiday content.
- Cannot be equipped on Ivara's Artemis Bow.
Trivia
- The skin's design is a reference to Eros, the Greek god of physical love. His Roman equivalent is Cupid who is often depicted using a bow and arrows with heart-shaped arrowheads.
- Eros is also one of the four words in Ancient Greek which can be rendered into English as “love”. Eros refers to “intimate love” or physical love, which is a separate concept from emotional or romantic love, which is associated with the goddess Aphrodite.
- Between Update 18.7 (2016-03-30) and Hotfix 18.7.1 (2016-03-31), this skin instead replaced both the arrow and quiver with a single Skana, which disappeared after a short period of time. Switching to or from the affected bow would cause the Skana to shoot outwards, and was capable of damaging both enemies and allies alike.
