Strategy Guide[]
- Do not use the Fiend Hunter Crossbow to attack builds. For balance reasons, the Fiend Hunter Crossbow does 1 damage to structures, and so is incredibly weak at taking them down.
- The Fiend Hunter Crossbow is useful for attacking enemy AI such as Cube or Ice Monsters. This is because both AI move slowly and in a set path, and the player does not need to worry about wasting ammo on them due to the Fiend Hunter Crossbow's infinite Crossbow Bolts ammo reserve.
