Bow

The Bow is a weapon type in the Disgaea games. Their damage depends on the average of ATK and HIT, and they have very long attack range(slightly lower than Guns, but are not restricted to straight lines). While in the first two games their skills can inflict all 5 status ailments, from the third game onwards their skills are simply long range attacks with various areas of effect.

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
Since ailments Spells don't exist yet, Bow skills are the only way for Humanoid classes to inflict status ailments. Only the Archer class specializes in Bows.
