Longbow
- For the weapon fromFire Emblem: Thracia 776, seeLongbow (Thracia 776).
| ||||
|
TheLongbow (Japanese:長弓Longbow, orロングボウLongbow) is a relatively uncommonbow which was introduced inFire Emblem: The Binding Blade. It is unique among both bows and most weapons in general for its increased range, having the ability to attack foes as far as three spaces away, something no ordinary bows have been able to do sinceGaiden. However, in exchange for its improved range, itsaccuracy tends to be much worse than bows of ordinary range. Prior toPath of Radiance, all bow-wielding classes were able to wield Longbows, but fromPath of Radiance up toAwakening, the use of Longbows has beenrestricted to theArcher andSniper classes.
InRadiant Dawn, the Longbow concept is split up into a complete series of three bows of increasing power: theIron Longbow, theSteel Longbow, and theSilver Longbow. They have slightly more power than their normal version, but they also have noticeably worse accuracy and are much heavier.
