Bows (and arrows) list
Note that all bows are long range and two-handed (which means they don't allow you to use a shield), 5 Critical Hit and 36 Charge Time. The power of an armed attack with a given bow is determined by the team member's strength and speed and the bow and selected arrow's attack index
