Characteristics[]
The second-lightest Crossbow in the game, the Knight's Crossbow offers as much range as the Light Crossbow, but has its damage split between Physical and Lightning damage. Its early availability makes it a useful asset for players that do not wish to invest the Strength or Dexterity to wield a bow, or who wish to have a quick source of ranged damage while still wielding a melee weapon in the main hand.
Due to its innate Lightning damage, the Knight's Crossbow benefits from equipping Lightning Bolts, and can be particularly handy against enemies that are weak to that element. As well, in watery environments it can innately create Lightning shockwaves without the need to equip Lightning Bolts, making it handy for tripping up human opponents in areas such as Crucifixion Woods if aimed at their feet.
