Crossbow

Crossbows are weapons in .

Description
The crossbow excels at long range combat, given its high damage and a very slow rate of fire.

Unlike the Bow, the crossbow must be fully charged to fire.

Strategies
One could say that crossbows fulfill a similar role as sniper rifles in other games: taking out valuable targets from afar.

With Crossbows

 * Crossbows come with an innate Knock Down Power modifier, allowing you to knock down weakened enemies by aiming at their feet, which is useful when being rushed or stopping a flag rusher.
 * Avoid hitting their weapons or shields. Aim for heads, feet, or attack from behind.  Oftentimes feet are the easiest.
 * Enemies without shields are easy targets.
 * "Dance" to avoid incoming projectiles.

Against Crossbows

 * Shields are a hard counter to all projectile weapons.
 * Invest in Pierce Resistance.
 * An archer is about to shoot when the white charge orb on their weapon turns ready. Move erratically perpendicular to the shooter when you see red.
 * Get close. Most ranged avatars have little defense when an enemy is close.

Modifiers

 * Increasing recharge speed can turn the crossbow into a high-powered bow.
 * Damage Multiplier At Full Health can increase the maximum damage. Being at long range, incoming damage should be minimal.  Include some Ranged Life Steal to ensure health is always at maximum.
 * Critical Damage can be potent if you can consistently hit headshots.
 * Movement Speed Percentage is very useful in avoiding enemy attacks.
