Ranged

Ranged

There are two bow types that players can choose from: swiftbows and crossbows. Crossbows are perfect for long range attacks given their higher projectile speed alongside being accurate while standing still. This is offset by its slower firing speed and no base recovery chance compared to swiftbows. Swiftbows have the potential to rival the DPS of most weapons due to their fast firing speed and high recovery chance. They lack the high projectile speed that crossbows have and generally have poor accuracy.

Bows use arrows to fire, so you need to manage your resources to use a bow. Arrows can be replenished from dungeon shops, chests, or through the use of quivers. Arrows also have a recovery chance depending on which bow you're using and armor you're wearing (See Ranged Armor below).

Name	Damage/Firing Rate	Base Recovery Chance	Alternate Firing DMG
Novice Bow	25 DMG, 0.55s per shot	0%	None
Hunter's Swiftbow	30 DMG, 0.55s per shot	10%	30 DMG per projectile, 8s cooldown
Hunter's Crossbow	60, 1.15s per shot	0%	30 DMG per projectile, 8s cooldown
Ranger's Swiftbow	35 DMG, 0.3s per shot	20%	35 DMG per projectile, 7s cooldown
Ranger's Crossbow	80, 1.15s per shot	0%	40 DMG per projectile, 7s cooldown
Elvish Swiftbow	40 DMG, 0.2s per shot	30%	40 DMG per projectile, 6s cooldown
Dwarven Crossbow	100, 1.35s per shot	0%	50 DMG per projectile, 6s cooldown

All bows have a special attack feature alongside their basic attack. Unlike Legendaries, they don't tap into one's "special attack gauge" but rely on a cooldown between uses. Swiftbows will rapidly fire arrows, whereas crossbows will shoot out arrows in a shotgun-like pattern. Using one's special attack doesn't use up arrows, but requires for ranger-type armour to be equipped.

Arrow Modifiers

Rangers have select amount of items that they can use to apply unique effects to their arrows. The amount of arrows that are affected can be increased through the usage of Ranger-class armour.

Name	Effect	Gold Cost
Paralysis Toxin	Applies a stacking slowing effect to the user's arrows. Each arrow applies a 80% reduction in the affected's movement speed.	800
Poison	Applies a poison effect to the user's arrows. Each arrow applies two poison stacks to the affected.	1000
Fire Crystal	Applies a fire effect to the user's arrows. Each arrow applies a few seconds of fire DMG to the affected.	~4200
Thermite Shrapnel	Turns the user's arrows into burning shrapnel. Each shot is now split into seven arrows, which fires in a shotgun-esque fashion.	~6000
