Four attack icons just don't cut it. This has a horribly weak attack and an even weaker defense. Even worse is that its attack is very easily stopped. This is not worth getting.

Another pointless new addition to the Battledome's collection of weak and ineffective weapons. Not only is this too weak to bother with, even at beginner weapons, it's stomped on by the Leaf Shield, the defacto standard blocker for early battlers on a budget. If you`ve been in the game a week, you should have already outgrown anything this could do for you.

Power (0/4) 4 icons is a sick joke, and the 2 defense isn't enough to help here.
Price (0/2) You can get better weapons for actually free
Tactical (1/3) Even with a bunch more icons, this combo is common and easy to block
Another Angle (0/1) While I realize that not every weapon can be a winner, I'm running out of ways to express my rage at TNT for releasing stuff that's so subpar it can only hurt newbies.

Alternatives: Anything worse than the 6-icon Bone Sceptre is garbage nowadays. See also Scarab Ring, Unstable Slime, Bottled Scorchio Breath and 17-pound trout for useful starter weapons.

Upgrades: If you want these icon types with physical defense in a weapon that might be worth using, look at Makeshift Ships Hammer

Defenses/Countermeasures: Just smile and laugh, if you are using any real weapon you are going to win against this.
