Hytale shortbows stat sheet: average damage per attack

Every shortbow ranked by the damage its attacks deal on average, with its strongest single hit and level, so you can compare raw damage at each stage.

Ranked by average damage per attack for v0.7.2. Counts the damage numbers of each attack in the moveset. Does not count attack speed, wind-up and recovery, reach, stamina or special effects, so it is not a verdict on which weapon is best.

How this is ranked

Metric: For each attack in the weapon’s moveset (left and right swings, thrusts, charged and special attacks) add up every damage type it deals, then take the mean over all attacks. Each attack counts once, however often you can use it.
Why there are no tiers: The number is exact, but on its own it can't say which one is best, so this is a sorted sheet with no tier letters. What it leaves out is in the line at the top; your own ranking belongs in the maker.

5 have no damage values in the game and aren't ranked.
