Crossbow fail...

[rubiksmaster123]

The crossbow weapon is a fail. The only time crossbows overpower bows are during the beginning triple shot is better than bow. So I was thinking. Maybe they make a crossbow that does way more damage than triple shot and quint shot.

Well, since the "shots" have long range already, the developer(s) probably fear that giving them more damage would make them too powerful in the game.

Attack power isn't everything. Sometimes, you have to wait in a corner with long-range weapons and attack from a distance. As such, many weapons with extraordinary range (e.g. Quint Shot) are not failures.

The only times I use them is on opening street and seaside 1. Only times ever that I use in game.

Well, I guess that explains your point of view clearly...

I generally use the Quint Shot with Critical's Card and Catapult's Card and attack many enemies with it. Doing so minimizes my losses and maximizes my gain for many levels (although there are a few levels where instant attack with powerful weapons would ensure victory more easily than with Quint Shot).

Yea. But I kill enemies faster with oct arrow.

Its just a matter of preferences. Use X-Shot, add a catapults card and for the caverns a pierce card and you can let a 4-sniper team auto walk many levels. All the bows (without shot) have the problem, that fast approaching enemies pose a problem. But if you have other classes in your team to compensate, you can of course kill enemies faster if you use a strong bow.

*edit* I think one of the easiest ways to play the game is using mainly the shots and adding a catapult and pierce. But its less fun and boring and slower... but easy (in many levels).
