Characteristics[]
The Dark Souls III iteration of the Longbow does not diverge significantly from its previous cousins. It is a very standard bow tailored towards builds that level Dexterity over Strength, with respectable range that allows it to be used to hit targets far away. With only the Black Bow of Pharis outranging it of all regular bows, this makes the Longbow ideal for aggro-ing individual targets from far away.
