You can buy the B.Shot Bowtie for $300, and it comes from a trustworthy source too. The item is sold by Swatch, the ever-formal head butler who runs the Color Café in Queen’s Mansion. Now, depending on where you are in the game, his location changes, but the item remains available.

• Before completing the Cyber World fountain, you’ll find Swatch at the Color Café near the entrance of Queen’s Mansion. Just head in and browse through his selection. The B.Shot Bowtie will be right there.
• After the Cyber World has been sealed, Swatch relocates to Castle Town’s café, and you can still buy the B.Shot Bowtie from him there.

It’s important to go to the right seller. There’s another item with a very similar name — BSHOT BOWTIE — which shows up in Spamton’s shop, but don’t fall for it. That one turns out to be the Frayed Bowtie, and it’s nowhere near as useful. It’s simply a bait item with a flashy name.

Stats of the B.Shot Bowtie in Deltarune

At its core, the B.Shot Bowtie is a defensive armor piece. Equipping it gives the character a +2 boost in defense and a +1 boost in magic. That magic stat bump won’t help Kris much since they don’t use magic, so it’s better suited for someone like Ralsei or Susie, depending on your build and playstyle.

That said, where this armor piece really stands out is in its secondary use — crafting. If you happen to also get your hands on a Tension Bit, you can have Malius combine it with the B.Shot Bowtie to create the Tension Bow. The upgraded armor still gives the same +2 defense, but instead of magic, it boosts TP gain from grazing by 10%. So yes, it’s a pretty great piece of gear to push your team’s TP efficiency further during longer fights.
