Notes
Part of the Swarming Huntress Set.

A curious bow that sacrifices armor piercing and some damage for one more shot than tiered bows. The Crossfire outdamages the Bow of Covert Havens until 85 DEF, and even beats the Void Bow up to 19 DEF. However, all four shots from the Crossfire must land in order to obtain this fearsome DPS, which only has a range of about 2 tiles. As such, the Nectar Crossfire is best utilized in close-quarters combat where damage and accuracy are not an issue, or when clearing out large groups of weaker enemies more efficiently than a Covert would.

Interestingly, the arrows from the Crossfire do not follow a straight path - rather, they have a slight wavy pattern that causes them to curve when fired, creating a criss-crossing pattern of arrows. Savvy players can exploit this unique pattern to increase damage dealt while still remaining at range; however, the small hitboxes of most enemies still necessitate close proximity to foes in order to reach peak damage output.

Oddly, firing an odd amount of projectiles in between using this bow will cause its firing pattern to change. This is the result of an anomaly in the game’s code that alternates each shot fired between a “positive” and “negative” sine wave.

When the entire Swarming set is equipped, the weapon projectile changes to:
