Even if you put these archers against each other in duels, say 10 versus 10.
The first volley is fired by the Imbarians, dealing 6-10 damage, halved. That's an average of minus 4.
Then, 6 of them respond with 5 shots from direct bows. That's an average of minus 3.
This leaves 7 Imbarians against 6 direct bow users, and that's just after the first volley.
Moreover, in this direct confrontation between archers, the direct bow dealt exactly double damage, meaning the direct bow users should have won by a large margin.
By the way, I overlooked the fact that Remix also provided his own mathematical calculations and examples, so it wasn't just intuition.
Let me rephrase the question: do you think that a direct shot and a double shot are almost the same thing?
