Boomerangs
Boomerangs are weapons with low attack but have the unique capability of of possibly attacking the target twice as it goes back and forth. It is an easy ranged weapon to use early in the game while there are limited arrows for bows and bombs.
Their special attack enables the boomerang to stay in place at where it's first thrown for a short while, enabling it to hit a nearby enemy several times. The caveat is that the enemy must be in the perfect range of doing so.
Later, we will go deeper into how to maximize the potential of using a boomerang.

Boomerangs Magicites
Magicites are special gems that can help the player's weapon have added effects. Some magicite effects may be powerful but will have some consequence in exchange.
How to Acquire Magicites
Magicites can be acquired by finding them in chests in the overworld. Special 5-star Magicites can be locked in red chests behind special doors that can only be opened with the Leytstaf.
Magicites can also be obtained through the Magicite Shop. At first, before obtaining all types of weapons, the player can only get random magicites for all weapons for every 5 magicite fragments the player exchanges. Once obtaining all weapon types, the player can create magicities for specific weapons for every 10 magicite fragments.

Best Boomerang Magicite Combinations
The boomerang is good especially in the early game, where quivers and bomb pouches are not yet plentiful. Its unlimited use make it good for long-ranged attacks.
The boomerang is especially useful in defeating mobs of enemies. It can hit different enemies both in its initial throw and on its way back to the player. There are magicites that enable the boomerang to become bigger, and therefore hit more foes at a time. In addition to that, another magicite increases the boomerang's attack with each hit. This makes up for the boomerang's low attack. With both of these in play, it is therefore best if the boomerang stays airborne for a longer time.
The boomerang can also be built as a support weapon to another weapon. There are weapons that can cause status afflictions when equipped with certain magicites. For example, the bow can have fire arrows while the bomb can freeze enemies when they gain contact. The hammer can also stun enemies, as well as other weapons when they have the accessories like the Mole's Anklet or the Cherry Blossom Anklet equipped.
With all of these conditions, the boomerang can be dispersed and cause even greater damage to the afflicted enemies. This is very useful for tankier enemies such as berserk beastmen.
