Repeaters

Repeaters are Hardmode ranged weapons that can generally be considered upgrades to bows, with only very late-game bows like Tsunami or outperforming them. All repeaters fire arrows (with the exception of the Stake Launcher, which fires Stakes), and unlike bows, they can be fired repeatedly by holding down the button. They strongly resemble s.

The best modifier for any repeater is Unreal.
