Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon

Bows are a recurring type of weapon in the Dragon Quest series, having recently become far more prominent than in past decades. In the early games, bows are typically featured as late-game, 'vanilla' weapons with no distinguishing features beyond their considerable might.

In more modern games this stance has changed with the proliferation of the family, becoming the tool of choice for nimble characters such as Angelo. Bucking common RPG trends, bows in DQ games are just as potent as other weapon categories, standing alongside swords and axes as the most powerful families of armaments. Furthermore, ammunition never runs out no matter how many attacks are made, nor are their damage outputs affected by being used in the back row in DQIX.
