Crossbows with arrows of Harming I or II deals a lot of damage for mobs and mobs, making this easy for players to kill hostile mobs. If paired with Multishot, the damage from each arrow will stack.

Mobs Bedrock  Java
Ravager/Iron Golem 5 hits 9 hits
Elder Guardian 4 hits 7 hits
Panda 1 hit 2 hits
Turtle 2 hits 3 hits
Polar Bear 2 hits 3 hits

Polar Bear 1 hit 3 hits

3 of the arrows from a Multishot crossbow deals the same damage but it stacks. It is also why the damage on Java is the same as before (without Multishot). Reddit post can be seen here: (https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/cnmg8w/multishot_crossbow_arrow_of_harming_ii_at_close/).
