What Are the Best Crossbows?

Best Crossbow for PvE

Kowazan's Sunflare Crossbows for PvE

Kowazan's Sunflare Crossbows Epic Crossbow	Damage	21~85
	Atk Spd	0.525s
	Range	13.2m
Weapon Skill	Kowazan's Bombing Attack Speed increases 12% during the day, and 6% at night.
Weapon Stats	・Strength 8 ・Stamina Regen 4.2

Judging by the stats, Kowazan's Sunflare Crossbow is a great weapon in its own right. With the Strength stat, players can lean more towards heavy attack builds.

What really makes this weapon the best is that it's passive, providing 12% attack speed during the day and 6% during the night.

Crossbow users usually have to make a choice when choosing weapon traits, and some sacrifice critical hit chance to get the attack speed trait.

With Kowazan's Sunflare Crossbows, players can choose a mix of criticals and attack speed, or double down on one!

Best Crossbow for PvP

Queen Bellandir's Toxic Spine Throwers for PvP

Queen Bellandir's Toxic Spine Throwers Epic Crossbow	Damage	20~81
	Atk Spd	0.55s
	Range	13.2m
Weapon Skill	Queen Bellandir's Corruptive Venom On Critical Hit with a crossbow, creates a 20% chance of applying Weaken: Poison, which deals 110% of Base Damage over time every second for 5s and stacks up to 3 times.
Weapon Stats	・Dexterity 5 ・Bonus Damage 4 ・Stamina Regen 2.6

With the highest off-hand weapon attack chance, good Dexterity, and extra Bonus Damage on top of a great passive, this is hands down the best Epic-level PvP crossbow available.

With no significant downsides to the weapon itself, this weapon does have the downside of being extremely difficult to obtain.

As a unique drop from the world boss Bellandir, players would have to compete with the rest of the server, as Bellandir is only available on a weekly basis.

SS Tier

Queen Bellandir's Toxic Spine Throwers

Queen Bellandir's Toxic Spine Throwers	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Strong Unique Passive Solid Passives			Passive Isn’t As Useful in PvE Weapon Is Hard To Obtain

Though the passive really shows it's value in PvP, the weapon's strong stats makes it very viable in PvE content as well.

While the value of the bonus damage diminishes as other damage sources are increased, it's still a good stat to have, especially on a multi-hit class like the crossbow.

S Tier

Kowazan's Sunflare Crossbows

Kowazan's Sunflare Crossbows	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Strong Unique Passive Excellent Stats			Weaker During the Night

Arguably the best crossbow for PvE, Kowazan's Sunflare Crossbows excel at dealing damage on burst windows, most effectively on Scorpions with optimal damage rotations.

The big downside to this weapon is that its effects are halved at night. This makes it less viable for PvP, as a lot of open world combat takes place during the night, as well as during eclipses.

Rex Chimaerus's Crossbows

Rex Chimaerus's Crossbows	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
High Off Hand Weapon Chance Good Passives			Passive Can Proc at Unwanted Intervals

A reliable workhorse weapon, the Rex Chimaerus Crossbow is used by most Scorpion players.

It's passive allows for some health recovery when it procs, which allows most crossbow users to heal back to full HP as it procs per hit, and crossbows can easily deliver multiple hits.

A Tier

Malakar's Energizing Crossbows

Malakar's Energizing Crossbows	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Great Damage Great Stats			Situational Passive

A solid weapon, Malakar's Energizing Crossbows provide a lot of Wisdom, which is essential for Crossbow builds that consume mana at a rapid rate, such as Scorpions and Scouts.

However, the passive is very situational and may not be necessary for experienced players.

While increased mobility can be good, there aren't too many instances where the added party movement speed makes that much of a difference.

Stormbringer Crossbows

Stormbringer Crossbows	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Solid Damage Solid Stats			No Unique Passive Cannot Roll the Attack Speed Trait

A solid weapon in its own right, the Stormbringer's Crossbow has a good amount of Dexterity and critical hit chance, which makes it a serviceable weapon.

However, the lack of a unique passive and the Weaken Chance stat prevent the weapon from being as good as it could be.

Since Weaken Chance only benefits PvP, this weighs down the ranking of this weapon, as there are better alternatives.

B Tier

Crossbows of Infinite Steel

Crossbows of Infinite Steel	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Great Stats			No Unique Passive Cannot Roll the Attack Speed Trait

With Perception and reduced cooldowns, this weapon is almost good. While the increased perception isn't as beneficial to crossbow users in PvE, it is vital in PvP.

This makes it a useful weapon for both PvE and PvP, but putting resources into it would not be a good investment in the long run, as other, better alternatives are easy to get with enough grinding.

C Tier

Heroic Crossbows of the Resistance

Heroic Crossbows of the Resistance	Overall Tier Ranking
	PvE				PvP
Pros			Cons
Decent stats Easy to obtain			No Unique Passive Inferior Stats

Even with the right traits and stats, it would be difficult to recommend the Heroic Crossbow of the Resistance, as there are better alternatives.

Since it's relatively easy to obtain, it's best used to stack Blessings or increase the stats of other crossbows.
