Crossbow infusions

[Blind]

I would think normal is best, but what do I know I always lose

Anyways: I'll divide this into tiers
Normal Crossbows (and Shield Crossbow)
Avelyn
Sanctum Crossbow

Raw makes crossbows better since they have no scaling. Dunno if dark makes the special attack of the sanctum crossbow more powerful.

Imo the only good ones are mundane, raw and enchanted. Mundane for mundane builds, raw to raise overall dmg and enchanted to give a scaling (int scaling, but since crossbows don't have scaling to begin with, doing an int build is not gonna gimp anything) while keeping pure physical dmg.

Turns out the Dark Clutch ring particularly affects Dark Sanctum bows - adding close to 300 damage to the dark bolts

[Blind]

I heard there's a glitch if you powerstance light/heavy crossbow, mashing the shootbuttons lets you rapid fire

[Blind]

It would be if it was remotely possible to hit with it >.>

Looks like Lightning Crossbows with Lightning Bolts and Lightning Clutch ring works on STR/FTH builds using Heide's Heiny.

Raw, Raw, Dark.

Yes. Yes, it does. The Dark Clutch Ring also adds to the Dark BNS.

dont forget that fire infused let you detonate explosive barrel ( wihout the need of a fire bolt/arrow) but yeah Raw is the best
the scaling with enchanted and 50 int less than the raw one
dark infusion add to the sanctum xbow special attack
with the armor caculation raw with elemental bolt do more dmg than infusion+ its elemental bolt

for the sanctum ones. dark adds significant damage to their special.

against an ng+7 giant lord is the regular one deals around 1088. the repeating probably deals more as it deals around 160-170 per bolt.
