| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Ballista arrows are created at a siege workshop and used as ammunition by a ballista. Wooden ballista arrows are made using one log, and more powerful ones can be made using one log plus a metal ballista arrowhead from the forge.
Ballista arrows, even mere wooden ones, are extremely deadly, able to turn a vast swathe of troops into flying corpses. It usually takes a wall or other similar object to stop them.
Additionally, ballista arrows can be destroyed by hitting too many targets in a row. Each arrow normally has a range of 200 tiles, but impacting a creature will subtract an amount from that range based on its material:
- Wood - 50 tiles
- Copper - 35 tiles
- Bronze - 25 tiles
- Iron - 15 tiles
- Steel - 10 tiles
- Adamantine - 5 tiles
