The Longbow is the legendary bow of Uchitsune, earned by finishing the Mythic Tale The Curse of Uchitsune. It is slow to draw but hits harder and reaches further than anything else Jin carries, and its Heavy Arrows pierce helmets.
A full-draw Heavy Arrow kills most enemies with a body shot, and a headshot is close to a sure kill even through armour. That makes it the answer to helmeted Mongol leaders. Explosive Arrows blast and unbalance whole groups.
Long draw time and small ammo pool make it shaky in a hectic brawl. A full-power hit also throws the body back about three feet, which is noisier than a Half Bow kill and can knock corpses off ledges.
Level III: 400 Supplies, 100 Bamboo, 20 Yew. IV: 600 Supplies, 150 Bamboo, 40 Yew, 2 Wax Wood. V: 800 Supplies, 200 Bamboo, 60 Yew, 4 Wax Wood. Each level adds damage, range, stability and zoom.
Scarlet Night is the default. Endless Sky, Forest Viper, Nine-Tailed Fox, Noble Crane and Raijin's Spark each cost 5 flowers from merchants.
