Short Bow

The Short Bow is a bow-type weapon introduced in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn It can be bought at Patcher's Place and Carver's Camp for 300 coins, and can be sold for 225 coins. Only Karis and Amiti can equip the Short Bow. The Short Bow increases the wielder's Attack by eleven, and has one Jupiter-based unleash, Double Shot.

Analysis
When it is first available, the Short Bow is probably the best weapon Karis can equip. As the weapon is Jupiter aligned, Karis can use the weapon to its fullest potential. Double Shot provides a strong Unleash, which is useful for the early boss battle against the Dim Dragon. Once the player reaches Carver's Camp, however, the Short Bow can be replaced with the Magic Rod, which possesses two Jupiter-based Unleashes.
