Revision as of 16:45, 8 July 2012
Once a warrior has attained this facility, she can fire a volley of arrows with amazing speed and precision, striking one target after another. Veteran mercenaries often tell a tale of a new recruit who was nearly struck down in battle because he was too distracted when first seeing an Amazon use this ability. Do not doubt his word, as he is probably referring to himself. Just smile and buy him another tankard of ale.
Detail
Attack rateDue to the existence of the bugged breakpoints and next delay, effective attack rate against multiple and particularly single targets is not straightforward.
 Arrows or bolts take 3 frames to pass through a size 2 target centered on dark green sub-tiles, 2 frames to pass through one centered on green sub-tiles and 1 frame to pass through one centered on empty sub-tiles. Effective attack rate against a single target is always maximised at 3 frames and minimised at 1 frame.
Multiple targetsThe tables below list the average frames per arrow when firing continuously at multiple targets which are spread out so that no arrow has to pass through another target (thus even with two targets there's an interval during which the 4 frame next delay expires).
