• If you have another weapon equipped and Crossbow in your hand, you can attack with your current weapon, then switch to Crossbow to continue attacking.

• If you have no weapon equipped and multiple Attacks in your hand, you can attack without a weapon, then equip Crossbow to unleash additional Attacks.

• Attack Creators:
  Characters who generate Attacks from other cards become incredibly dangerous with Crossbow. They can overwhelm enemies by converting cards into relentless attacks. Examples: Guan Yu, Zhao Yun.

• Card Drawers:
  Characters with the ability to draw more cards during their turn can turn Crossbow into a limitless barrage. After using their initial Attacks, they may draw more, keeping the assault going. Examples: Lu Xun, Zhang Chun Hua.

• Large Hand Characters:
  When a character has a large hand, they’re always on the lookout for Crossbow. It allows them to bypass the single attack limit, unleashing their stockpile of Attacks. Examples: Lu Meng, Zhen Ji, Yuan Shu, Huang Gai, God Cao Cao.

• Cao Pi:
  With Crossbow, Cao Pi becomes a deadly force. After gunning down an enemy, he can take their remaining Attacks. If the defeated character is a rebel, he gains even more, allowing him to continue his rampage.

• Zhang Fei:
  Zhang Fei doesn’t need this weapon since his "Roar" ability provides the same benefit. Other weapons offer him more versatility and added effects.

The Crossbow can deal the most damage in a single turn of any weapon. However, it can also quickly deplete the user’s supply of Attacks, leaving them vulnerable during other players' turns. Since it’s highly desirable, equipping it can make you a target, as other players may try to steal, destroy, or disable you before you can strike. This weapon often turns the tide in a game, allowing the wielder to clean up the competition if acquired at the right time.

The repeating crossbow, an ancient Chinese weapon, was a powerful tool of war, famously improved by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms era. Known as the Zhuge Crossbow or Chu-Ko-Nu, it was designed to unleash a barrage of bolts upon the enemy, similar to its role in the game. Historically, it could fire up to ten bolts before reloading, making it extremely effective in massed formations. While it lacked the power and range of Western crossbows, its rapid-fire capability made it deadly, especially when the bolts were dipped in poison, ensuring even a minor wound could be fatal.
