    So, I was invading in the Forest as a hunter on my new Bow/Int build. So, I invade a hosts world, average full giants. BKGA Mask of the Mother and Grass crest shield user. Nothing really all that special, But! He was randomly swinging at nothing. Now I assume this was the, nonexistent phantom glitch (I get it a lot)

    I then decided to just poke him with my bow, completely normal +5 magic composite bow with 30 Int. I do a modest 54 damage to him as he flails about.

    Now heres where something odd happened. I draw my bow back, fire, and deal exactly 254 damage. Thats a massive increase, and not only was this a fluke, it happened twice. Both exactly 254 damage. That just seems too good to be simply the other invader I couldn't see damage.

    So, I'm wondering if there is some aspect to bows and maybe counter attacks I don't know about. Maybe bows have a very high counter attack rating? Or maybe I'm just wrong?

    This needs more testing, I sadly don't have the means to.

    I believe that you hit him in the head for a critical hit... But idk - needs testing.

    I guess I can try to land a head shot while invading to see what it does XD

    Head shots do deal more damages. Aim for the nose.

    But a damage increase from 54 to 254? Thats pretty big even for a head shot.

    Possibly it was a counter critical, since those are possible. He was staggered, rolling, or otherwise in a position that caused a counter when you hit him with a headshot. Headshots are easier to make on targets who are coming out of a roll, jumping, mid attack, or staggered after all.

    Oh, that makes sense. Sort of a double crit. Still, that makes the most sense out of anything.
