When the player with this weapon damages another player with an attack, they can discard an equipped horse of the target.
If the target of an attack has more than one horse, the attacking player gets to choose which horse is discarded.
Once an attack causes damage, the attacker decides whether to remove a horse. They choose the horse to discard, then the damage is dealt.
Huang Zhong:
This weapon is ideal for Huang Zhong. Its massive reach ensures that his ability is always active, allowing him to consistently deal heavy damage. However, he must be cautious, as losing this weapon could turn the tide against him.
The Longbow is a versatile weapon with a wide reach and a useful ability that costs nothing to activate. It allows you to damage your target while also discarding their horses, making it easier for others to engage them. The downside is that you must hit the target to discard their horse, and they must actually have a horse for this effect to work. Even with these limitations, the Longbow’s impressive reach makes it highly effective for sniping enemies across the table, especially when your target is far away.
The Longbow was famously used by Huang Zhong, a master archer known for his exceptional accuracy, even at great distances. During Liu Bei’s siege of Changsha, Huang Zhong demonstrated his loyalty and skill by sparing Guan Yu in a duel, intentionally missing with his first two arrows. His third shot, however, struck Guan Yu’s helmet, showcasing his precision. Huang Zhong's skill with the longbow played a critical role throughout his military career, contributing to his legendary status as one of Liu Bei’s greatest generals.
