+Due to the existence of the bugged breakpoints and next delay,  effective [[attack rate]] against multiple and particularly single targets is not straightforward.
-It takes the same time for arrows and bolts to pass through a target. Effective attack rate is maximised by ensuring it takes as long as possible for each missile to pass through a target, allowing the maximum time possible for next delay activated by a previous arrow to expire: firing sequences are a fixed length, so maximising collisions per sequence results in more collisions and thus more hits and damage over time. However, while both always take 3 frames to pass through a [[size]] 3 target independent of firing position, it takes 1-3 frames for them to pass through a size 2 target dependent on firing position.
