Their multi-arrow shots make them stronger against Fire Ships and Turtle Ships than Galley line ships, dealing a maximum of 8 damage per hit, assuming all arrows hit, vs 5 for Galley Line ships. They are also stronger against Rams and packed Trebs due to their multiple hits. Although faster than Galley line ships, should they be escorting Cannon Galleons, the latter will slow them down.

For their cost and unique unit status, it's a shame they have a slower RoF than Galleons, 3.34 vs 3.05.
