Crossbow is an item class of two-handed martial ranged weapons that require strength and dexterity to equip. While it shares some similarities to a bow, crossbows fire bolts instantly and require you to reload ammo to use and enhance skills.

Crossbow Skills

Crossbow's default attack skill Crossbow Shot does not cost any mana to fire while all other ammunition skills only cost mana when reloading the crossbow. (Note that an exception exists for skills such as Hailstorm Rounds which load ammunition passively; in that case, the mana cost will be applied to Crossbow Shot directly.)

Ammunition Skills

Ammunition skills (or "Ammo") are crossbow exclusive Projectile Attack skills that load a clip of bolts or rounds. Ammunition skills determine which type of bolts or rounds are used to effect of the crossbow attack.

Grenade Skills

Grenade skills are crossbow exclusive projectile, Area of Effect (or "AoE") attack skills. Grenades visually fire from the underside of the crossbow and detonate after the fuse duration has expired. Grenades have different explosion radius and all grenade skills apply a debuff to enemies. Rapid Shot and Explosive Shot skills can be used to modify grenades' fuse duration.

+'''Crossbow''' is an [[item class]] of two-handed [[martial]] [[ranged]] [[weapons]] that require [[strength]] and [[dexterity]] to equip. While it shares some similarities to a [[bow]], crossbows fire [[bolt]]s instantly and require you to [[reload]] ammo to use and enhance skills.
-===Shot skills===
+==Crossbow Skills==
-Shot skills are crossbow-exclusive projectile attack skills that fire a clip of bolts. The bolts loaded are determined by Crossbow Ammunition Skills which modify the effects of the skill.
-* [[Rapid Shot]]
+Crossbow's default attack skill [[Crossbow Shot]] does not cost any mana to fire while all other ammunition skills only cost mana when reloading the crossbow. (Note that an exception exists for skills such as [[Hailstorm Rounds]] which load ammunition passively; in that case, the mana cost will be applied to [[Crossbow Shot]] directly.)
-* [[Explosive Shot]]
-====Crossbow Ammunition Skill====
+===Ammunition Skills===
-{{main|Ammunition}}
-Crossbow Ammunition Skills (or "ammo") are crossbow-exclusive skills that can be used to load a crossbow with a clip of bolts. This replaces the Crossbow's [[Crossbow Shot|basic attack]] with the skill indicated by the ammo. Loaded bolts can be fired a set number of times before reloading.
+[[Ammunition]] skills (or "Ammo") are crossbow exclusive [[Projectile]] [[Attack]] skills that load a clip of bolts or rounds. Ammunition skills determine which type of bolts or rounds are used to effect of the crossbow attack.

+===Grenade Skills===
-===Attachment skills===
+[[Grenade]] skills are crossbow exclusive projectile, [[AoE|Area of Effect]] (or "AoE") attack skills. Grenades visually fire from the underside of the crossbow and detonate after the fuse duration has expired. Grenades have different explosion radius and all grenade skills apply a debuff to enemies. Rapid Shot and Explosive Shot skills can be used to modify grenades' fuse duration.
-Attachment skills are crossbow-exclusive skills that are equipped into the [[off-hand]] [[equipment]] slot while wielding a crossbow. They visually attach to the underside of your crossbow, and only one attachment can be used at once. Equipped attachment skills add the skill to your skills menu, where they can be linked to support gems.
