Bows are not about DPS, Bows are about single-shot damage. Yes, the draw rate is slow, yes it has a painfully annoying draw-fire mechanic where you have to hold your aim to get the shot off perfectly. This weapon is like the bow version of the Opticor or Lanka. Patience and thinking to pay off with big numbers on shots. With that mechanic however, it still falls short, since if you are going to take time to line up a shot carefully, you may as well go for the head, and then the dread will deal more alpha-damage as well.

The Daikyu is a weapon usable by mastery zero characters, and gives them a lvl 0 sniper weapon which they did not have before other then the Mk1 Paris (which is crap) However it would have been better if it was non-clan.
