==={{DQH2}}===
Hunter's Bow appears as a skill that can be used by [[Torneko]], who already knows it when he joins the party, costing 7 MP to use. It is modeled after its original appearance in ''Dragon Quest IV''. When used, Torneko pulls out a pair of hunter's bows and fires off several bolts from each hand in a wide arc in front of him. It has a long range and fires either straight ahead or slightly diagonally upwards, making it ideal for targeting aerial monsters. Normally, Torneko will stand still and fire from the crossbows, but it is possible to cancel while he is performing a charge and use the attack as well, firing off bolts while he slides forward.
