"Cosmetic effect" is one way of putting it.  But uh, no, bowmen are pretty good even without sidelong yumi because bows hit like nukes in this game.

It's probably my focus on making everyone viable even when cut off that led to my low opinion of bows in this series (generally speaking, a surrounded archer is USELESS due to the fact that the vast majority of bows have a minimum range of 2). It doesn't help that the AI ALWAYS tries to attack someone who can't retaliate whenever possible, since that generally leads to your archers getting neutralized by sheer surrounded-ness. Oh absolutely, but Fates is way different there.
