Overview

Bow

Being one of the Braver's choice of weapons, more than half of their PAs are chargeable moves, but mostly mobile.

Their bullet speed is fast, but not enough to be capable of landing a direct hit, which can miss enemies.
In addition, there are PAs that has a suction effect, PAs that attack when conditions are met, and PAs that add to the damage the user has dealt within a certain amount of time.

Some PA attacks include Melee based attributes and some have a Distance Decay specification.
Although the Bow is capable of attacking from medium to long distances, there are few PAs that are easy to utilize in short range situations, and tends to have difficulty dealing with enemies that cannot be knockdown or knockbacked, or with fast moving enemies.

Distance Decay
Some PAs have their power reduced to 80% when the distance between the enemy and the character is more than a certain distance. Dependent on what PA is used.

Unlike a Normal Attack, the trajectory of the arrow flies in a straight line.

- The accumulation of damage is not limited to the marked spot, but is determined by the entire target enemy.
