Longbows can fire arrows at targets from a further distance than shortbows can, but they fire at a slower rate. They have exact same stats as Shortbows, but cost more due to their greater range. They are not used often due to their slow speed, but are sometimes used to snipe enemies from a far distance. They are slightly more powerful than shortbows and are more accurate to hit their target. It is commonly used by archers who need to snipe their enemies (e.g. sniping a Lesser Demon while camping behind a barricade 2 feet away)
