Crossbowman guide: breakpoints and what your skills really do

Crossbows, Iron Arrow through a line of monsters, harder crits and a 360% Final Attack. Type in your stats and see how many attacks each monster takes, your hit chance and the best maps for you, worked out from this version's own skill data and damage formulas.

CritsCritical Shot (1st job): +20% crit rate, +15% crit damage at max. Crossbow Mastery adds +20% crit damage.
Final Attack25% chance after each attack for another 360%.
Main attacksArrow Blow 240% to one monster, Double Shot 2 × 120%, Iron Arrow 180% through up to 6 in a line (each next one takes 80% of the last).
Soul ArrowMP -5; Attack without using up any arrows for 300 sec

Your breakpoints copy your numbers from the stat window

Attacks per kill: 1 · 2 · 3+. "2–3" means 2 on a good roll and 3 on a bad one, if every attack hits. "Hit" is your chance to hit; MP and EXP per attack include misses. Final Attack and crits count in the average and the good roll, never in "every time". Counted: defence, elements, the level penalty, accuracy. Maps are ranked by EXP per attack with each map's monster mix; spawn speed, walking and other players aren't counted. Empty fields are estimated from your stats and skills; your own numbers from the stat window are better.
