Ranged
Ranged[edit]
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 (Gold) |
Novice Bow | 25 DMG, 0.55s per shot | 0% | None | 75 |
Hunter's Swiftbow | 30 DMG, 0.55s per shot | 10% | 30 DMG per projectile, 8s cooldown | 500 |
Hunter's Crossbow | 120 DMG, 1.15s per shot | 0% | 30 DMG per projectile * 3 projectiles, 8s cooldown | 500 |
Ranger's Swiftbow | 35 DMG, 0.3s per shot | 20% | 35 DMG per projectile, 7s cooldown | 4000 |
Ranger's Crossbow | 160 DMG, 1.15s per shot | 0% | 40 DMG per projectile * 3 projectiles, 7s cooldown | 4000 |
Elvish Swiftbow | 40 DMG, 0.2s per shot | 30% | 40 DMG per projectile, 6s cooldown | 12000 |
Dwarven Crossbow | 200 DMG, 1.15s per shot | 0% | 50 DMG per projectile * 5 projectiles, 6s cooldown | 12000 |
Crystal Bow | 65 DMG, 0.4s per shot | 30% | 120 DMG per projectile * 3 projectiles, uses 20% special and 150 mana | 25000 |
Sayonara Bow | 30 DMG per projectile * 3 projectiles, 0.57s per shot | 10% | 40 DMG per projectile (?) * 3 projectiles, uses 30% special | 25000 |
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. The crystal bow has a multiplier for arrow modifiers, while the sayonara bow will be able to fire off three arrow modifiers at once for the cost of one. Using one's special attack doesn't use up arrows, but requires for ranger-type armor to be equipped.
Arrow Modifiers[edit]
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 armor.
Name | Effect | Cost (Gold) |
Paralysis Toxin | Applies a stacking slowing effect to the user's arrows. Each arrow applies a 80% reduction in the affected entity'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. | 6000 |
Thermite Shrapnel | Turns the user's arrows into burning shrapnel. Each shot splits into seven arrows, which fire in a moderate spread formation. | 9000 |
Poison Fang | An amplified version of the normal Poison Bottle. Now deals 4 poison per arrow. | 12000 (Crafted) |
