Bow and Sword in Accord	comment	A character who wields both a bow and sword (this includes crossbows). This is quite common in fiction for a number of reasons: It makes tactical sense. Even the toughest swordsman or most accurate archer will find their weapons useless when fighting at the wrong range. It looks damn cool. It gives the author another tool for their hero to use, allowing for easier writing during action sequences and extra strategic options for players in video games. Besides these more down-to-earth or aesthetic reasons, using a bow and sword competently takes a lot of training and time; it can symbolise dedication, co-ordination, flexibility of character and perhaps even a certain kind of intelligence. It's certainly the mark of a wary, well prepared character; if you're this well prepared you're either naturally thorough in preparing for circumstances or have been taught the value of said preparations by experience. Characters like this are often royalty or nobility in reduced circumstances; the combination of a bow, a relatively humble weapon, beside a sword or other heraldric arm, a sign of high birth. It might also be a character from a humble background who has come into a more heroic, important role in life. It can also signify that this character, for all his noble bloodlines, is an amoral person. Be wary of sword and crossbow combinations in particular. Characters armed this way tend to be rather lightly armoured. This may of course be due to the fact that most archers are lightly armored. (When was the last time you saw or read about a hero in full plate using a bow?) For some reason, the archer element seems to dominate. They tend to either be extremely agile or wily and cunning in order to make up for it. This does make some sense, given that the more weapons you carry, the less weight you can devote to armor. Of course, it's rather difficult to wield both a bow and a sword at the same time (though some characters with crossbows small enough to be fired one-handed manage) unless you've got more than two hands. The favoured technique for this style is typically to shoot foes with arrows from a distance, and then draw the sword once they get too close for comfort. A mutation of "pen and sword, in accord" (the samurai ideal) of course. This trope is not for gun-and-sword combinations. For Dual Wielding a sword and a gun (or similar firearms), see The Musketeer (wielding a melee weapon and a firearm, but not at the same time) and Sword and Gun (wielding a blade and a firearm simultaneously). Subtrope of Choice of Two Weapons. It's worth noting that this trope used to be called The Ranger, from The Lord of the Rings rangers. Any references to rangers on this page are likely from when the trope was in YKTTW.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: Dragon Age: Origins allows you to switch between two full sets of weapons. Given the thrust of the game as being somewhat more tactical, it's almost unheard of that even one character doesn't switch to a bow. (Even mages, whose staves automatically hit at range, can do a lot more damage with a bow if they hit often enough.) While Dragon Age II lacks the weapon switch option, archers automatically switch to the "murder knife" whilst attacking in melee. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Hawke, if a Rogue, randomly switches between a bow and two daggers in battle.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Just one of many combinations possible in Might and Magic. Everyone can learn to use the bow (including crossbows) in addition to his or her primary weapon (with other weapons being very class specific, the primary weapon is often something other than a sword). There is one exception in the late-game of VI and VII: blasters. You can wield them together with bows (blasters go in the right hand slot, while bows go on the back), but blasters always takes precedence when attacking (melee weapons take precedence if they are close enough to attack. Blasters are ranged weapons in the melee slot...), so the only point in going blaster-and-bow is using the bow as a Stat Stick.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_2192aeb3	comment	A frequent combo in the Fire Emblem games. Alm from Fire Emblem Gaiden uses swords and bows upon promotion to Hero. In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Master Knights can wield bows and swords, as well as every other weapon type in the game save dark magic. Nomadic Troopers in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. In the latter, Lyn is capable of using swords and bows after she gets promoted to Blade Lord. The Ranger in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, you can give bow-wielding Astrid a sword (or lance, or axe) upon promotion. You can also give a bow to Oscar (lance user), Kieran (axe user), or Makalov (sword user) when they promote. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Fiona, Geoffrey and Oscar can learn to use a bow upon promotion to Silver Knight, and Astrid can learn to use a lance upon promotion to the same class. In the DS remakes of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem, there is the Horseman, the promoted version of the Hunter, which not only learns how to use swords but also gets a horse. Quite useful. Assassins and Bow Knights in Fire Emblem: Awakening. Also, the DLC Bride class uses bows, lances and staves. Warriors can wield a bow and an axe. Generals can use a bow and a lance in the remakes of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem. In TearRing Saga, Holmes can gain swords upon promotion to Stealth Hunter. Also, the Lady Knight and Arrow Knight classes can use them, as well as the Mamluke upon promotion from Horseman. Plus, another class, the King's Knight, can use sword, lances, axes and bows! In Fire Emblem Fates there's the Bow Knights again, who now are promoted from either Outlaws (who use only bows) or Mercenaries (who only use swords). The Bow Knight is notably Selena's canonical promotion, used as an enemy in Birthright and certain DLC maps. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses Archers, Thieves and Assassins have a proficiency in both bows and swords.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls: In Dark Souls, the Chosen Undead can employ any weapon on right hand and left hand slot, one can carry a sword and a bow (or crossbow) at the same time. In Dark Souls II, the moveset of most weapons are no longer affected by which hand the Chosen Undead used, it is now also possible to aim (or even fire Dark Orbs) with the crossbow by carrying it with both hands, making the Sword and Bow combat more practical. Dark Souls III depicts this as being a standard of the Black Hand Hunters of Lothric (both the one you can summon as a phantom and the one you encounter as an enemy), with both having variants of switching between bow and sword and Dual Wielding in lieu of carrying a shield. Towards the end of The Ringed City, Slave Knight Gael uses a chipped Executioner's Greatsword and a Repeating Crossbow against you, he even incorporates both of them at the same time by leaping to the sky, firing the crossbow mid-air and lands an overhead spinning slash in one of his movesets. In general, dexterity builds across the entire franchise will usually be equipped with some sort of sword and some sort of bow, even if they switch between the two weapons as the situation demands rather than using them both simultaneously, since most of the weapons with good Dex scaling are either swords or bows. In particular, the katana/longbow 'samurai' build is enduringly popular thanks to its particular combination of style and practicality - both weapons offer an excellent balance of speed, range, weight, and damage output.

The katana/longbow 'samurai' build in particular is back and better (and more popular) than ever, thanks to the game bringing back the dedicated Dual Wielding movesets from Dark Souls II while removing the durability mechanic that was previously the bane of such delicate weapons.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: As initially conceived, Hunters were supposed to be this trope. To this end, Hunters had a minimum range for ranged attacks, they started without a pet to force players to learn how to switch between both effectively, and one of the talent trees, Survival, contained talents focusing on close range combat. As the game evolved, the minimum range was dropped, the focus of the Survival tree moved to traps, and then, after the removal of the Ranged slot in Mists of Pandaria forced bows into the Main Hand, the melee skills were dropped entirely. If anything, their pets (which, at least for Beastmaster specialists, make up a considerable portion of their damage output), represent the sword now. In classic, the epic bow quest that Molten Core raiding hunters underwent was the pinnacle of this trope. The quest was designed to test the hunter's ability to use both their ranged and melee capacity to their maximum. It involved killing 4 elite demons 100% alone, not even their pet could assist. Each demon worked differently, taking noticeable damage from only a single ability: 1 had to be kited using only your DoT shot, another was a pure melee slugfest, another had to be hit with a melee ability that slowed its movement speed then while slowed it took extreme damage from a particular ranged shot that also drastically reduced its damage for a short period requiring a chaotic alternating in-out dance of ranged>melee>ranged>melee>ranged. The rewarded bow could have its string removed to covert it into a melee staff. Even while it was possible to be this trope, itemization usually led players away from it. Hunters often didn't start with both bow and sword; the closest any race came were either Draenei, who got a crossbow and sword, and Night Elves and Blood Elves, who got a bow and a dagger. While any Hunter could learn to wield swords, there were more appropriate statistics for hunters on axes and polearms. And while any Hunter could learn bows, crossbows and guns equally well, guns could be crafted by those tired of waiting for a good bow to drop. The only other classes with the potential to use both sword and bow were Warriors and Rogues, who tended to use the bow only for attracting an enemy's attention, after which melee weapons did most of the work. After the Ranged slot was removed, both classes got a weapon-throw attack instead.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_68237790	comment	While the above points for Dungeons & Dragons ring true for both editions of Pathfinder, the gunslinger in 2nd Edition can evoke the 'sword in one hand, bow in another' fantasy specifically with its Way of the Drifter style. This style focuses on versatile combat, giving you bonuses when switching between weapon attacks and letting you reload even when both hands are occupied. While generally expected to be doing this with firearms, the gunslinger in 2nd Edition can also use crossbows - including hand crossbows - with most of the same abilities. Also in 2nd Edition, the Dual-Weapon Warrior archetype lets any class do this when you take the feat Dual Thrower, which allows you to use any feat from the archetype with a thrown or one-handed ranged weapon in addition to melee weapons. This lets you use feats like Double Slice or Dual Weapon Blitz with a melee weapon in one hand and a ranged weapon - such as a hand crossbow - in another. They can also pick the Dual-Weapon Reload feat, which lets you reload weapons like firearms and crossbows without needing a free hand. In 1st Edition, the feat Opening Volley encourages a playstyle like this: tagging someone with a ranged attack makes them easier to hit with a melee attack.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The ranger character class is the archetype from early editions. This is still their theme somewhat in later editions, though in 3rd, Fighters and their abundance of feats can be more effective, and in 4th, Rogues can do this without having to spread out their ability growth. It's generally considered a good idea for every character in any edition of D&D to have both a melee and a ranged weapon. Particularly with the combat rules of 3rd and 4th editions, it's highly advised that frontline warriors pack a handful of javelins, and wizards take advantage of crossbow proficiency. Made painfully obvious with the Swordbow (Regular, Light, and Great versions) from the Magic Item Compendium (D&D 3.5). The weapon transforms from a sword (Longsword for Regular, Rapier for Light, Greatsword for Great) into a bow (Longbow for regular, Shortbow for Light, Composite Longbow (+4 Str requirement) for Great) and back again as needed. On top of this, you can also interchange attacks with the two forms as part of the same full attack action. It's also entirely possible to wield a melee weapon in one hand and a hand crossbow in the other. The 3.5E sourcebook Drow of the Underdark offers the Versatile Combatant feat for this arrangement, while 4e offers the Drow Fighting Style feat. 5th Edition allows this with Crossbow Expert feat, allowing a person to fire the hand crossbow in off hand after you attack with main hand weapon. Depending on rule interpretation, you can even use the feat to dual wield Hand Crossbows. The Soulbow class in Complete Psionic can summon up arrows composed of mental energy and shoot them at people in addition to summoning up a sword composed of mental energy.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_6c47db4e	comment	In Dynasty Warriors 5 (and the games that came before it), all characters can switch between their primary weapon and a bow. The bow is more-or-less useless unless used by Huang Zhong or Xiahou Yuan, who incorporate the bow much more into their move sets, and can rapidly shoot waves of arrows at their enemies. Xiahou Yuan in most games usually fights with a club and his bow to take down his foes. In earlier games, such as Dynasty Warriors 3, his weapon was a scimitar. Starting from DW 7, all characters can equip any other weapon alongside their primary weapon, so if the player chooses a bow, then it becomes this. In Samurai Warriors, the Sengoku-era counterpart to the Three Kingdoms setting of Dynasty Warriors, the character Ina uses a bow that has blades mounted on it, allowing for melee combat. The same applies to Magoichi Saika and Ieyasu Tokugawa, who both possess ranged weapons, but also have a means of smacking enemies around with them. In Arslan: Warriors of Legend, the characters Arslan, Daryun, Farangis, Gieve, Elam, Alfarid, and Kubard all carry at least one bladed weapon and one bow. The gameplay's weapon-swapping mechanic allow them to freely swap between them at will, making it the ideal combo.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_6d5b62f	comment	In Battle Realms, The Dragon Clan Samurai wield both a bow for ranged combat, and a katana for melee. In line with the game's troop alchemy system this makes sense, because samurai require that a soldier be trained as both an archer and a melee fighter (the alchemist's guild is presumably for the armour, or the tempered steel sword). The Serpent Clan Bandit, on the other hand, uses both a curved sword and an arm-mounted crossbow, both of which can be poisoned with the proper research.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Link carries a slingshot, then either upgrades to or, more frequently, simply picks up an actual bow in the games. Of course, that's hardly the only weaponry combination he's capable of, but his sword and bow are generally his most powerful weapons and required to defeat the Final Boss. In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the Hero's Bow is strongly hinted at being the same used by a previous Link, much like the Master Sword and a few other items, such as the signature green tunic. Princess Zelda herself gets in on the action in Hyrule Warriors with a Royal Rapier and the Light Arrows. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this distinguishes Link from the other Champions. Revali uses just the bow, the other three Champions use melee weapons, but only Link can use both.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_c0d295c4	comment	Team Fortress 2: The Sniper's non-gun primary weapon is a bow, and his melee a selection of kukris (technically knives, yes, but they're big enough to count towards this trope). The Medic can also replace his syringe gun with a crossbow that's both a Healing Shiv and a regular weapon while using any of a number of bonesaws in melee.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_c0eae17	comment	Total War: Ranged units in games always come with a melee weapon. For most archers this means little more than daggers, but some (like highland nobles in Medieval II, Gaul Noble Archers in Rome and Bow Samurai in Shogun and Shogun II) this means full-fledged swords. Some units go the other way, and have a ranged weapon as an auxiliary when their main mode of attack is in melee — most Roman footsoldiers have a sword, shield and three javelins for example. The Danes in Medieval II have Norse Archers, which are actually substantially better in melee than they are at range (base ranged attack is 7, while base melee is 12).

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_c21df7ae	comment	While every character in The End Times: Vermintide and its sequel (except Bardin's Slayer career in the latter) carries both a melee and a ranged weapon, not everyone can meet this trope (Sienna uses magical staves rather than actual ranged weapons and Kruber, nominally The Musketeer, can only use a bow in his Huntsman career in the sequel). Kerillian is the straightest example, the only character who can only use bows (including a Dark Elf repeater crossbow in her Shade career), but Bardin (when not a Slayer) and Victor can also use crossbows as well as their black powder weapons and, as already mentioned, Kruber gains the ability to wield a longbow as a Huntsman. Incidentally, Bardin is the only character who can never actually wield a sword, preferring more traditionally dwarfish weapons such as hammers and axes.

Bow and Sword in Accord / int_c74f2d3c	comment	Diablo: It's a fairly good idea to have this set up, at least in Diablo (1997). Warriors occasionally find themselves needing to shoot at something (or, in the case of enemies trapped on the opposite sides of portcullises, want to pick enemies off at a distance.) A rogue often finds herself needing to resort to hand-to-hand if fast enemies are encroaching, so having a sword and shield and the strength to use both available helps. Straying out of The Ranger and into Magic Knight, magic is helpful to the rogue as well, though the warriors' maximum magic is so low that it's barely worth his while. The sorcerer is pretty damn awful with both bow and sword, but it's worth giving him a bit of strength and a light sword and shield in case he runs out of mana. (True, you might be screwed if this is the case, but it's better than nothing.) The Lord of Destruction expansion pack for Diablo II added the ability to switch between two whole sets of wielded equipment with a single keypress, making this set-up tremendously more practical.

The bow can be used as a weapon, but more often is used as a tool by firing Trick Arrows (the games discourage killing any humans; that's just unprofessional for a thief). The blade is always a weapon of absolute last resort; Garrett doesn't do well in melee.

Legolas is more flexible, switching between his bow and his knives when appropriate. Elves in general are capable of both archery and swordplay. The Uruk-hai captain (Lurtz) at the end of the first film also employs a bow/sword combo. Faramir's rangers from Ithilien used bows and swords and were lightly armoured, but the mainline Gondorian archers are depicted in plate armour, though it may have been a lighter style. The Galadhrim of Lothlorien who march to aid the Rohirrim at Helmâ€™s Deep have a very specific weapons configuration; both their quiver and scabbard are carried on the back of their breastplate, with the former situated towards the right shoulder and the latter towards the left, allowing for convenient switching between arrows and swords.
