General Use for Longbow
The longbow’s extended range makes it an effective counter against important, grouped units like Siphonarios, Shenjis, Falconetti, Zykalians. It can deal considerable damage to heroes wearing light or medium armor. However, heroes in heavy armor are best ignored unless your weapon stats are exceptional. Another key aspect is elevation: if the longbow is positioned higher than its target, it will deal bonus damage, while being lower results in a damage penalty. When casting Light-footed, you become invincible, which is great for dodging deadly ultimates like Dual Blades or Maul’s heavy strikes. It’s also useful for chasing down fleeing enemies or making a quick escape.
