A flatbow is a bow type. Flatbows have a long range, short attack speed and high arc. Flatbows' combination of range and speed makes them excel at pressure with the drawback that they are most easily dodged. The combination of maximum range and high arc also makes this the ideal weapon for pulling.

  • In PvP, the high arc and long flight time of Flatbows renders them ineffective against player opponents, who can dodge the arrows.
