Merging CrossbowCrossbows are Two-Handed ranged weapons that require Strength and Dexterity to equip. Crossbow basic Attacks can be modified with Ammunition Skills.

Multiple Projectiles fired from a single Crossbow skill can all hit the same target, and single-Projectile skills fire additional Projectiles in sequence rather than in a spread. bolts have fragments that can hit the same target at the same time to combine their damage into a single Hit.Any damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage.

Damaging Ailments which result from a Hit will calculate their damage from that Hit, and will not subsequently have Damage modifiers applied directly to them. As a result of this, raising Hit Damage will result in more powerful Damaging Ailments innately.

Merging is a gem tag for crossbow skills which allows their bolts to have multiple fragments which hit a target count as a single larger hit. This can affect calculations for some secondary effects like applying ailments.
