With the Crossbow job, Lire does not carry a regular crossbow. She holds two, and they are handheld and shoot like guns, having Lire perform Matrix-like moves. Lire no longer has a double-jump, but one giant one. If you jump with Lire, her now single jump is as big as her double-jump with her archer job. If you hold the up key throughout or at the top of a jump, you can "Paraglide" and slow down. This is useful for jumping stages, but it takes a while to get used to. This is also helpful if the screen says "Jump!" for a monster, and you go too early. Or, to slow down, you can start shooting in the middle of one or at the top, again, in order to avoid being skyrocketed into the air by the monster. Lire will shoot at a 45 degree angle from her body downwards at both sides and keep shooting. You can even move from side to side during this move.Special Moves: 1. Quickshot. Lire crosses her arms and shoots arrows on both of her sides to attack enemies if she's surrounded. Very usefull if you're trapped in any way, shape, or form, even in PvP if being ganged up upon. This can knock over certain enemies if they don't have "Super Armor."2. Big Rush. Lire walks about 3-5 steps in front of her and shoots about twenty different arrows in different angles. This could be a helpful full-screen attack sometimes, but the farther the monster is, the more you're going to miss. I prefer doing this behind a strong monster and hitting them from behind, killing them practically instantly.3. Dive bombing. This is by far the coolest move for Crossbow Lire, however, timing with this move is cruicial for a boss that is in midair or on a very high platform. Lire will jump back, slide a little, but shoot about twenty or more arrows from both of her crossbows at the desired enemy, and a harpy will fall from the sky, screeching like the Harpy Queen from Kerrie Beach. Most of the time with this, I miss because of my timing. It's always cool to watch.Lire has another move that I find the most fun and use the most. It's called Rainstorm, but this is what I meant by Matrix Moves. If you hold down throughout a jump with Lire and start shooting at the peak of it (This is the best time, so you can do more damage,), Lire will go upside-down and shoot to the ground at the enemy. Keep shooting until you hit the ground with this and move left and right, you can get a lot of damage from switching from back attacks to regular ones. Not to mention, if a newbie is being idiotic and going to the wrong portal, you can use Rainstorm to point down at the right one and redirect them. I find that the most fun.
Edit: I AM NOT. A PVP PLAYER. Stop saying PvP tips I forgot to add. I do not PvP. Therefore, I don't know tips for Crossbow Lire in Player Vs Player.
I love my brahs.
BMVincent7:Good guide but rainstorm has been directly ripped from Devil May Cry. Infact I use it all the time there it has the same name even.
I feel lame that I was just playing DMC3 today as Gunslinger and didn't notice that. But it's completely true xd
Nice basic guide... Does anyone else find it strange that a harpy always just HAPPENS to be over Lire's target when she uses her third skill?*shrug*

It's natural.. since when the harpy gets shot by the arrows from the 3rd skill, it's stunned, and therefore cannot run, only to get hit by the harpy...

Please use substantiable support when agree/disagreeing. ^^;
Karrii , you might also want to add the fact that the Crossbowmen do not shoot arrows but bolts.
There is a important difference between arrows and bolts and i dislike it when people mix them up.
To add a little on your guide ,
Crossbowman is not only for dungeons but that is where she shines. The crossbowman is extremely useful in pvp at stunning the enemy and annoying them all the time. A real teamfighter
Crossbowman has another "matrix" movement which is the dash. The crossbowman does a flip like a wheel in which she is invincible. Extremely useful at dodging and confusing your enemies. One of the things a professional crossbowman uses all the time.
Also , when doing the rainstorm , if it is above your enemy directly and there is no platform in between , the enemy is stunned for 1 second , giving you more than enough time to do that unorthodox grab. I adore doing that :)
Still , you have made a really useful guide for all new wanna-be crossbowmen . Thank you.
WirbleWind™ will always burn those that totally deserve it.S.O.O.N. = Soon Or Obviously Never
I apologize for mistaking the arrow for the bolt. I figured there was a difference between the two, but I couldn't place my finger quite on it. And I know that the Dive Bombing is also useful in PvP. However, I am not a PvP player, so therefore I did not add it to my guide.
I would notice this if I had played DMC, but I'm not allowed to play it, so therefore I can't know this.
Also add never taunt in Gorge of Oath(pvp)...
That's usually how I die there >.<

heres a tip to be really considered a good lire use the 1st job weapon for pvp cause xbow users arent smart enough or are just too lazy to work for win instead of just pressing z.Get a real bow and beat an elesis ur lvl and then u will be considered to havin skill and if they call u a spammer say these exact words."U wanna see spam let me use my xbows and ull see wat spam really is"
end of statement
P.S Avalon Rules

Ahaha. I blame Ntreev for that. They call Lire a crossbowman.
