Magic Arrows

Does anyone know if the magic arrows from the quiver cartridge are affected by magical DR, so for example if I am attacking a boss and they activate magical DR will I be killed because of my "magic arrows"?

[quote=bluebomber24]Magic Arrows are not affected by DR. I think because the only decent boss with DR is Empress and Crimson Queen, no BM has bulked thier HP up yet, because it is defintly possible for one to without major damage loss.

Edit: BTW, if you do n't believe me, go fight Ranmarou and see for yourself.[/quote]
I was thinking more on the basis of CHT, but I'll try Ranmarou once I figure out the quests and stuff.

Anyways thanks for the help everyone.

[quote=Resir]Interestingly (and on a side note), magic arrows ignore the DEF up buffs that bosses do. Against HT, I can spam hurricane and while my normal physical attacks and FA do 1's, the magic arrows that hit do full damage. This would suggest that they don't actually qualify as physical attacks.[/quote]

It's called [b]Magic[/b] Arrows for a reason, but yes, they work against Weapon Cancel since they're magic-based.

as far as I can tell, all archer skills are physical attacks that use arrows to deal damage
mana is merely used to summon the arrow
