Bows provide the most basic ranged damage option. These weapons allow attacks from a distance at the expense of using a shield. They also add no peripheral stats beyond their base attack, and have no additional effects. However, many arrow types do have additonal effects, and the infrequency of crossbow and gun upgrades means that bow are often a good option. Bow accuracy is also affected by the weather in a given region. It is also worth remembering that enemies cannot counter bow attacks. Bows do not grant a bonus to Evasion.

All crossbows add 5 to Evasion. While crossbows do not possess additional effects, crowssbow ammunition often does. Enemies cannot parry or counter crossbow attacks, although crossbow attacks may simply miss. Crossbow damage is determined by the attack power of the crossbow and bolt, your character's strength, and the enemy's defense.

Although guns are slow to fire (they take almost twice as long as any other weapon type), they compensate by being 100% accurate. All guns add 10 Evasion. While guns have no additional effects, their munitions often do. Note that enemies cannot parry, block, or counter gun attacks. Gun damage is determined solely by the attack power of the gun and its ammunition. An enemy's defense is of no consequence when determining damage.

Hand-bombs serve as the ranged equivalent of the axe and hammer class. They can inflict big-time damage, or they might cause little damage at all. Hand-bombs take into account your character's strength and vitality, the hand-bomb's attack rating, and the enemy's defense when determining damage dealt. The bombs that serve as hand-bomb ammunition often come equipped with useful additional effects. Like bows, hand-bombs do not provide an Evasion bonus.
