Notes[edit | edit source]
- The Magic Quiver increases the damage of the arrows shot by The Ballista, but doesn't increase the speed.
- The Ballista nets massive damage output against large ground-based enemies such as Astrum Aureus when fired at from above, due to both the arrows and the shrapnel all hitting the target.
