Health Arrow
Health Arrow is a special ranged ammunition item in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that heals allies or the hero on hit.
Description
A wooden arrow with a head soaked in healing material. When this arrow hits an ally or hero, it applies a healing effect that restores health. This is created by “moistening” a Common Arrow with a Potion of Healing.
Stats
- Damage: 0 points (non-damaging)
- Delay: 1.0x (relative to weapon firing speed)
- Durability: Single use (consumed on impact)
- Price: Cannot be purchased in shops; only created through moistening
- Weight: 1
Properties
- Type: Throwing/Ammunition (Special/Healing)
- Usage: For use with ranged weapons like bows
- Consumable: Each arrow is consumed after being shot
- Stackable: Can stack up to very high quantities
- Special Effect: Heals the target on hit, restoring health points
Creation
Health Arrows can be created by using a Potion of Healing on regular Common Arrows. This process is called “moistening” and transforms the basic arrow into one with special properties.
Mechanics
- When hitting an ally or hero, restores 10-15 HP (may vary with hero level)
- Does not damage enemies but may pass through them to reach allies
- Can be used to heal pets, summons, and friendly NPCs
- Healing amount may scale with the hero's level or other factors
- Does not stack with other status effects that require direct targeting
Availability
- Creation Only: Cannot be found as random loot; must be created by moistening
- Required Materials: Common Arrow + Potion of Healing
- Alchemy: Part of the game's alchemy system for creating special ammunition
Strategy
- Excellent for healing allies or pets from a safe distance
- Useful for keeping companion mobs healthy during difficult fights
- Allows healing without using up direct-use healing potions
- Good for maintaining party health during extended combat
- Particularly valuable when fighting dangerous enemies that make close healing risky
