Shoot symbol in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

Shoot (飛び道具, Tobidougu?, lit. Missile), also known as Throw (, Hi?, lit. Fly), is an elemental property of weapons in the Final Fantasy series. Shoot-type damage increases damage to airborne enemies like birds and other fliers. Bows and arrows are the most common type of Shoot-type weaponry.
