Gameplay

When equipped on the main character, pressing [SHIFT] will shoot an arrow at the cost of one Iron arrow.

In most cases, if an enemy gets shot, it will lose a limb. In some cases, you can shoot the enemy multiple times to cut off multiple limbs.

If a limb is referred to as 'left' or 'right' limb, they are from the enemy's point of view.

The short bow is supposed to consume arrows when used in combat, by triggering Arrow loss. However, the attack state used, Arrow loss, doesn't do anything, making it useless.
