| - Crossbows may be one of the most underrated ranged weapons in the game. This is because a crossbow generally lacks the higher DMG of a bow or gun throughout the game. However, a crossbow has something that no other ranged weapon will ever have, a large variety of status inducing bolts. Crossbows use your skill.
* The primary uses of a crossbow, besides pulling, are these 1.
* Aid in solo leveling, Crossbow provides the potential for a fairly powerful first hit. Crossbow also has a greater damage/delay ratio till lvl 5, when the Longbow's very high DMG is arguable. 2.
* The Acid Bolt; this bolt is first available at lvl 15, and is the most powerful bolt for quite awhile and useful bolt for eternity. This is one of the few things in the entire game that will reduce an enemy's DEF, and the only one that will activate as often as it does. This bolt can be used with amazing effects all the way to the end of the game. 3.
* Training for the use of gun without the extremely high cost of a bullet. 4.
* Use of a sleep bolt in emergency situations. However, the sleep bolt is a fairly unreliable bolt overall and sleep is fairly short lived. 5.
* The most likely common use is for the Bloody Bolt. Another one of the eternally useful bolts of the crossbow. This Bolt drains an enemy's Hp when hit and transfers it to the attacker. This bolt can be used by backup tanks to restore HP, a DD who is forced to temporarily tank, or more commonly in farming situations to lower downtime to nearly nothing.
