Ballista arrows are created at a Template:L and used as ammunition by a Template:L. Wooden ballista arrows are made using one log, and (presumably) more powerful ones can be made using one log plus a metal Template:L from the Template:L.
Ballista arrows, even mere Template:Len ones, are extremely deadly, able to turn a vast swathe of troops into flying Template:Ls. It usually takes a Template:L or other similar object to stop them, but even then they can still be reused by firing into a wall or raised Template:L above a channel.
Additionally, ballista arrows can be destroyed by hitting too many targets in a row. After a certain number of impacts, the arrow is simply destroyed. Hitting around 5-6 goblins at a time seems to be the rough limit of a ballista arrow's durability. It is currently unknown if adding an arrowhead improves this durability.
