Revision as of 19:39, 8 January 2018
The bow is one of the main components of the game - When you join, your tribe spawns with one minion wielding a bow. Bows are ranged weapons used to shoot both rabbits and people. Different arrows can be invented for the bow such as the shock arrow.
Mechanics
Minions with bows will fire once they have locked onto their target. they can be in motion, or stationary, but either way it takes a second or two to load and draw back.
Once they fire, an arrow will be released. Arrows are fairly slow. However, with an arrow, speed doesn't matter. Bows have a set miss rate, so arrows will not always hit their target.
A minion with a bow will need to be close to its target to lock onto it. This is not a problem in combat, because your two groups will be attracted to each other. It is fairly troublesome when it comes to rabbits. Bow minions will shoot at rabbits only when you bring them close enough. If rabbits hop away, your minions may lose interest.

Minions using a bow are not able to be equipped with a shield. However, currently(as of early January 2018) you are able to equip a shield first, and then a bow. Whether this is a glitch or not hasn't been confirmed by the developer.
Tips and Tricks
Minions with bows are the last attacked in a fight if there are other minions for the enemy to attack first. As such, they will usually get away from a fight alive if you decide to run. They can be valuable in combat, because they will not focus one on one with someone, instead attacking a minion that maybe one of your other minions attacks.
They still however may not be the best for combat with large groups because of their slow drawback time and the chance that their arrows will miss.
Food is fairly easy to get, (looting other players, especially with cannibalism, mushrooms, and chests are a few examples) so many players will kill off their archers in favor of better combat, or better resource gathering.
Stay close to rabbits to shoot them, and consider getting the invention Shock Arrow so that you one shot rabbits.
