Heavy Crossbow

From Dead Cells Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Heavy Crossbow is a two-handed crossbow-type ranged weapon which fires a group of short-ranged bolts. The secondary ability, Reload, replenishes its entire ammo supply and inflicts critical damage in the next primary attack.

Details[edit]

  • Ammo: 15
  • Special Effects:
    • Each volley consists of five rounds for full damage. Therefore, when launched with insufficient ammunition, it will only inflict partial damage.
    • Before firing, the heavy crossbow launches a small hook that pulls an enemy towards you, rooting them for a short time in the process.
      • If the enemy was attacking upon being grappled, the hook interrupts the attack until after the bolts are launched.
    • The Reload ability refills the entire supply of ammunition, regardless of how much ammo was left previously, and also makes the next shot from the main attack deal critical damage, the value of which is simply double of its primary attack.

Synergies[edit]

  • Kill Rhythm Mutation Icon.png Kill Rhythm can be used to speed up Reload Icon.png Reload and general attack speed.
  • Ice Armor Icon.png Ice ArmorRotG or Foresight Icon.png Foresight can be used to prevent taking damage while reloading.
  • Point Blank Mutation Icon.png Point Blank provides extra damage most of the time, as the weapon works best when next to an enemy.

Notes[edit]

  • There is a short "soft interrupt" effect to the Hook skill (temporarily suspends enemy attack charging). This should prevent immediate enemy attacks after hooking.
  • Due to the nature of the way this weapon deals critical damage, it is impossible to reach the critical DPS displayed for this weapon, as consecutive critical hits cannot be fired.
  • The hook does not root flying enemies, causing them to be flung behind the player(and thus avoiding the main shot) in most cases. To avoid this, the player can turn around mid-attack.
  • It does not work well with Barbed Tips Mutation Icon.png Barbed Tips because reloading removes all arrows stuck in enemies.
