Knight's Crossbow

The Knight's Crossbow is a ranged offhand specializing in slowing down opponents who may be running, or as a punish for using healing items mid-battle. Aiming either using lock-on or manually, the bolts fired from this crossbow are hitscan, making them instant. Getting shot with the bolts does a small amount of damage and inflicts the Impeded effect, which slows down both your attack and movement speed. Moving around while impeded is similar to the effect of depleting your stamina.

Guide
This offhand is difficult to use in combat, as it has long startup and endlag. Most people resort to running off a good distance in order to avoid getting punished for pulling it out, but without a football field of spacing, chances are you're still going to get caught without a main weapon in hand. This weapon, as it stands, is better for catching opponents who are trying to run away, slowing them down and allowing you to catch up.

After playing in the test world it appears that the speed at which you can equip/unequip the crossbow has been increased. If this remains until release then I will update this page with a proper guide.
