Ballista (TCG)

Ballista was a Rokugani missile weapon which launched a large projectile at a distant target. Used as both a siege weapon and a defensive weapon to ward off creatures along the Kaiu Wall, the ballista was a crossbow writ large. Mounted on a tilting, swiveling frame and operated by a crew of two or three, the ballista was made primarily of wood, with metal fittings and accents. It fired massive bolts nearly four feet long and four inches across and performs extremely well against heavily armored enemies and flying creatures. A skilled, well-equipped crew could keep up a withering rate of fire and could provide pinpoint support fire or deny an area with equal ease. ^[1] The Kai family researched a design made of bamboo suited for being mounted on a ship. ^[2]
