Crossbow
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.

Fragmentation Rounds
Armour Piercing Rounds

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.
