Items

Shortbow

Shortbow

  • Faster charge, shorter range, and less damage
  • Movement speed doesn't decrease while drawing, and you can even sprint.

Longbow

Longbow

  • Slower charge, longer range, and more damage.
  • If you do not charge it to the maximum, the arrow's flight distance will be greatly reduced.
  • The screen zoom while drawing is stronger than with a normal bow.

Shot Crossbow

Shot Crossbow

  • A crossbow that fires five arrows at once.
  • It cannot be fired unless the bow is drawn all the way back.
  • Shot arrows ignore enemy invincibility frames.
  • You can't expect much accuracy and the range is short, but it is very powerful at close range.
  • Although it looks like a crossbow, the enchantments it can apply are bow enchantments.

Repeater Crossbow

Repeater Crossbow

  • A crossbow with incredible rapid-fire.
  • Shot arrows ignore enemy invincibility frames.
  • When you aim it, it will begin charging, and after a while it will continue firing arrows.
  • Once charging is complete, you will be unable to move at all.
  • It is awful to use, and it uses a lot of arrows, but it has incredible destructive power.
  • Although it looks like a crossbow, the enchantments it can apply are bow enchantments.

Burst Arbalest

Burst Arbalest

  • It can be charged up to 9 times.
  • Shot arrows ignore enemy invincibility frames.
  • It has relatively good distance and accuracy.
  • When release it, it will fire arrows equal to the number of charges.
  • In short, it's a less extreme repeater crossbow.
