A yumi is a type of launcher weapon that appears in NetHack, and is a bow designed for use with ya. It appears as a long bow when unidentified.
Generation
Samurai start with a +0 yumi and a stack of ya to use as ammo.[1]
Description
Samurai get +1 to-hit, multishot and damage bonuses when firing ya from a yumi.[2][3][4] For other roles, it is essentially the same as a normal bow.
Strategy
The yumi provides a stellar ranged option for Samurai in the early game.
History
The yumi is introduced in NetHack 3.1.0; in previous versions, Samurai instead started with a stack of shuriken.[5]
Encyclopedia entry
The samurai is highly trained with a special type of bow,
the yumi. Like the ya, the yumi is made of bamboo. With
the yumi-ya, the bow and arrow, the samurai is an extremely
accurate and deadly warrior.
