Tips

 * Considering the pitifully low damage it deals, it's best to use Hokuto's Bow as a supportive tool to a more powerful weapon, as it will significantly increase the DPS of both weapons and skills should the player upgrade Brutality or Tactics enough
 * Since the damage debuff lasts for over 20 seconds and when it wears off it can be just re-inflicted by using it again, Hokuto's Bow is a viable support option for both crowd control and single fights

Trivia

 * The head of the arrow in the weapon's icon resembles crosshairs, symbolizing marksmanship.
 * Hokuto's Bow is a reference to Fist of the North Star, Hokuto meaning North Star or Big Dipper. The line "You don't know it yet, but you're already dead." is a quote from Kenshiro, the main character of the anime.
 * "Omae wa mou shindeiru" means "You are already dead" in Japanese, the original language of Fist of the North Star.
