Power (0/4) Assuming that this averages right in the middle, that's less than 6 icons, which makes this worthless. Further testing might warrant upgrading this to one point.

Price (0/2) You can get solid 8 icon constants for the price of this.

Tactical (1/3) Just not enough icons to matter. This is almost trivial to outdamage, and there are not enough air icons to overrun common defenses.

Another Angle (0/1) Boomerangs come from Australia, the nation whose national holiday makes a mockery of what Jack Simpson Kirkpatrick actually believed. To any Aussies reading, please do not dignify such ill-considered propaganda, that's even dumber than using weapons like this.

Upgrades: Better starter weapons include Von Roo Dice, Unstable Slime, Bottled Scorchio Breath, Scarab Ring and Steaming Skeem Potion. If you really like the physical/air combo then Ice Club, Stone Club and Psellias Fighting Fan are all better bets.

Defenses/Countermeasures: It's easiest to just outdamage this, but Shiny Shoal Shell Shield and Winged Scarab block most of the attack.

If this wasn`t fractional, and it hit for its maximum damage each time it would be, at best, mildly interesting. Since it doesn`t, its just not strong enough to bother equipping, though it does present another opportunity to plug the very useful, and often overlooked Winged Scarab, which will handle this weapon, as well as many others quite nicely. I`d expect the price will decline over time, as this is currently newly released.

Another useless weapon released. It does fractionals which make it quite weaker than it appears to be in battle. A low hit of 4 icons really isn't enough for the BD today. Overlook this weapon, it just isn't worth getting.
