*{{buff|Arrows from Bow and Arrows travel a longer distance (40 frames → 46).}}

==Hitboxes==
===Projectile===
The arrows' true base damage is specified in their parameters, and ranges from 4% to 12% based on charge. More specifically, their damage output is equal to <code>4 + 8 * (charge frames / 60)</code>, rounded down. When firing a double arrow, this amount is multiplied by 0.8× for each, also rounded down, allowing them to deal from 6% to 18% total.
