Hey, she has a bow, she could just pick him off long ranged.
Two can play at that game. See 5:15-5:22.

Even without Holy she can pelt him with arrows forever while moving to keep him at a distance. He may use a bow in the opening sequence, but I don't recall him starting with bows when you get him so those are out for him.
Even if she didn't need to sleep or rest, Basch would doubtlessly be able to outrun her (a man of his physique against a female archer?). In any case, Basch's inability to use a bow is only an in-game mechanic. If Basch can't use bows, then ranged weapons have no advantage apart from allowing the wielder to attack from the back row.
