ranged attack
Hit from afar
A ranged attack is an attack delivered from a distance, typically with a projectile weapon like a bow, gun, or thrown object.
The term appears most often in video games and tabletop RPGs, where it contrasts with melee attacks that require close contact: The archer's ranged attack hit before the enemy could close the gap.
