Question on Bow vs Crossbow (Persino)

[BloodySunday]

I am playing persino mod and am debating on using the repeating crossbow or bow. I assume that power draw doesnt effect crossbow damage? Also it doesnt appear that horse archey skill effects using a crossbow while mounted, is their no penalty for doing this then?

Horse Archery does work for crossbows while mounted but Power Draw doesn't increase crossbow damage. In Native and the mods I know of, many crossbows can't be reloaded when mounted either, but I haven't played Perisno so I don't know which crossbows can be reloaded or not while mounted in it.

Yeah its a sepcial crossbow for this mod I believe it holds like 6 shots at a time and you can just chain shoot them out before you have to reload and then u reload like a normal crossbow. This one does work on mounts. I am trying to decide as it seems for now this crossbow does like double the damage of bows but once you get a real good bow and have like 7 or 8 into power draw it would be out classed in damage but it fires faster then the bow until it needs to be reloaded like every 6 or so shots.

Use the repeating crossbow.

Can anyone else confimr on persino that horse archery helps with the crossbow while mounted? Dont want to put points into it until im sure thanks

In every other mod, horse archery helps with crossbows, throwing weapons, and firearms when applicable. As for damage, it may help to tell us what the actual stats are. Historically, repeating crossbows were very weak.

I have never use the repeating crossbow, but I been on receiving end, and I can say it probably better then any bow in the rights hands.

i think that for long range and big armies a big bow with you having lots of archery skills would be best, to just fire into their army at a distance, but the repeating crossbow is way better, if you are to take down a little group in melee combat, or do a bounty hunt, so i would recommend you to upgrade all skills needed to use a bow, and then a bit into using a crossbow

Perisno isn't set in the real world, I can tell you that the repeating crossbow is as strong as any other crossbow except it shoots a lot before you have to reload.

You can choose either, really. In my last game (before I lost the save) I had a good time using the Falcon Bow I got at the start of the game (as the thing you take into your adventure). But this run, I'm playing with crossbows, and I have the Helsing Crossbow (the repeating one); it's very fun to use.
