Heavy Flaming Arrow

Overview[]

Compared to the Trebuchet, the Heavy Flaming Arrow has an attack speed of 60 frames, its projectiles are much faster (projectile speed of 250 instead of 80), so they deal far greater damage over time, and are slightly more accurate. They also do +35% damage against buildings, in addition to the standard damage bonuses all Artillery Weapons have, making the Heavy Flaming Arrow a far more devastating weapon than the Trebuchet, and one of the best unique units in the game.

Oddly, Flaming Arrows and Heavy Flaming Arrows are missing a +100% damage modifier against Triremes, making them weaker at contributing to naval combat.

  • Fire Lances, Heavy Fire Lances, Flaming Arrows, Heavy Flaming Arrows, and Flamethrowers are the only units that trigger a special burning death animation when killing enemy infantry units and civilians.
