Hornbow

This article is about the bow class. For specific bows with this name, see Hornbow (dragon), Hornbow (Mursaat) and Hornbow (stoneshard).

A hornbow is a bow class. It has medium range, the slowest firing rate and a medium arc. Hornbows also have an extra 10% armor penetration.

Because of these traits, it's primarily used for spikes.
