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	Cost
Novice Bow	25 DMG, 0.55s per shot	0%	None	75 gold
Hunter's Swiftbow	30 DMG, 0.55s per shot	10%	30 DMG per projectile, 8s cooldown	500 gold
Hunter's Crossbow	120 DMG, 1.15s per shot	0%	30 DMG per projectile * 3 projectiles, 8s cooldown	500 gold
Ranger's Swiftbow	35 DMG, 0.3s per shot	20%	35 DMG per projectile, 7s cooldown	4000 gold
Ranger's Crossbow	160 DMG, 1.15s per shot	0%	40 DMG per projectile * 3 projectiles, 7s cooldown	4000 gold
Elvish Swiftbow	40 DMG, 0.2s per shot	30%	40 DMG per projectile, 6s cooldown	12000 gold
Dwarven Crossbow	200 DMG, 1.15s per shot	0%	50 DMG per projectile * 5 projectiles, 6s cooldown	12000 gold

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 several arrows, whereas crossbows will instantly shoot out several arrows in a fanning formation. Using one's special attack doesn't use up arrows, but requires for ranger-type armour to be equipped.
