defeat seeking arrow?

It's a normal shortbow (IIRC). Chest wound comes as an extra. Air shield, luck, etherealness and armor works fine.

I know Air Shield and Luck work, but I don't think Etherealness has any effect, since otherwise an Ethereal unit would be missed 75% of the time....which never happens.

Armor works, to a limited extent: Even if the arrow completely fails to inflict any actual damage, the target still automatically receives a chest wound.

Ha! Told you

That's also what Sunray's guide says.

Sorry, but KO is right. I've had ethereal units shrug off such attacks countless times. And even non-ethereal units do not "automatically" receive chest wounds. They, too, can get lucky and completely shrug off damage/wounding.
