DS2 Light Crossbow Hints and Tips

• You can cancel the aiming of any crossbow and attack instead with the weapon held in your other hand,
• By pressing (Y/Triangle) and immediately following it up with a light or heavy attack.
• If you infused it with fire, you can detonate explosive barrels and ignite objects with any ammunition you picked, making it handy as a detonator.
• Alternately: infuse it with Raw or Enchanted for better damage output.
• Can be used while two-handed on a SL1 run, as strength requirements are rounded down while two-handing.

• Upgrades weapon to scale by the player's lowest stat, but decreases weapon base damage by about 50% and decreases the original stat scaling. Mundane weapon does not gain damage until all nine stat attributes are leveled once equally. Weapons with higher scaling, base damage and that generally weigh more have a better effect from mundane yet still is effective for faster/smaller/low-scaling weaponry.
