IMPORTANT NOTE |
---|
Most of the info-subs list a penalty of -10% for bows with a true special, and *1.02 damage for bows without a special. That is no longer true. Bows with a true special receive no penalty, and Bows with no special deal *1.1 damage.
For the sake of brevity, assume weapons listed have no true special unless specified. |
