Bleh 10 icons isn't bad but its semi-fragile Just go with Scuzzys Comb or Ramtors Spellbook instead. They do the same amount of icons and are much cheaper.

For doing only 10 icons, this is a bit overpriced now that there are 10-iconers that sell for only half this bow's price (Ramtors Spellbook, Scuzzys Comb). At the level where youll be dealing 10-icons, you may have a problem facing Sophies Magic Hat as it almost totally kills this bow's attack.
Oh, and this is semi-fragile, mind you.0
If you really want an earth-fire dealing weapon, get a Garoo Elite Blaster, which deals an icon more than this bow, and wont break for battle.

A tick underrated,solid ten icons with the nice uncommon fire icon dealing half of them. But still with the coming of the NQ2 evil prices and the TCG blasters there are better and yet obviously cheaper options to go for who don't break. Just get them.

10 icons for 1.4 is actually rather decent. The problem is that this is semi-fragile and unreliable, so you'll need to pack a backup weapon with a comparable icon quantity.

The icon type is rather nice, with great diversity between fire/earth. Can't be fully stopped, but the fragility really kills the reliability factor, which brings this one down.

Having tried out the bow that launches radishs at one's opponent's I really like this weapon.

10 icons for the going price isn't too bad. This weapon is looked down upon cause it can break for battles, but not forever.
The earth and fire icons are a nice blend, but nowadays pretty common, since fire hads become more popular and earth is forever common. That does hurt Bow, but it still can do it's job. It's great to use it in a freezing turn and since most battles last about 4-7 turns the bow has a nice chance of lasting a bit.

As long as you have a main weapon and nother backup weapon, Radish bow is an excellent choice for back up. Nt many, if any, 10 iconers for more then one turn are out there for that price.

It does a great amount of icons, but the fact that it can break for the battle might kill you. I'm staying in the middle on this one.

Power: (3) 10 constant icons is nice.

Price: (3) For 1.5 mil, the next cheapest weapon that guarantees this many icons is double the price.

Tactical: (0) Not the greatest variety of icons. Semi-breaking is bad, but not nearly as bad as most think. Even if you can only afford a ldd as a backup, youre still averaging on the whole 8.8 icons over many battles (assuming youre using the ldd after the radish bow breaks and an average battle length of ~=5 rounds.) If your backup weapon averages 8 or 9 icons, then having this semi break isnt a huge deal. Also the non-randomness is nice.

Non-Battle: (1) One of the more underrated ht weapons, and more underrated weapons in the game period. Id still be using mine if i wasn't trying to upgrade in a big way.

I just did the 100 tests and the results say that it has a 3/4 (75%) chance of NOT breaking (and a 25% chance OF breaking of course). So it really isn't that good of an idea to use this weapon if you expect the battle to last more than 3 or 4 rounds, because odds are that it will break by then. I personnally had fun with it (thanks to Sirhatter for letting me borrow it for testing), but I wouldn't use it too often because I do a lot of 1-player battles and those usually last longer than 3 turns (at least once I have beaten the opponent 50+ times).

So considering it at a whole, this is an ok weapon, but I never really liked semi-fragile weapons, too random for me. So I will give it a 5, because it could be used well in short battles and it is a lot cheaper than other 10 icon weapons.

1 in 6 chance to break is not that bad, but if it breaks first time or you get into a long battle this will let you down I wouldn't count on this by using as my main attack, however its a good backup or secondary weapon

This would be great if it didn't break, but semi-fragile is bad at this price range. This will break exactly when you need to attack, and after it does you can't use it for the rest of the battle. You may get more out of an 8 icon weapon (especially if this breaks on round 1), so get one of those instead.
