Boomeranger

The **Boomeranger** is a Melee/Ranged fighter from the Prime world of Trove. This class is considered a wandering adventurer and is not affiliated with any biome theme or design.

Boomerangers are very versatile with the capability of changing from a melee to ranged with just simply changing equipped weapons. They are also equipped with a large range of items including a Boomerang that stuns enemies and reduces cooldown and a large bomb that can break through the toughest Dungeon blocks. They are well noted for their unpredictable Ultimate ability to spawn Quchik, Healing/Cooldown shards, or even more bombs for damage and/or support.

Unlike most classes, the boomeranger heavily rely on cooldown rather than energy to use its abilities.

## Abilities

- If caught when it returns, it will reduce any active cooldowns on your skills, including itself.
- Stuns enemies for 1-1.5 seconds.
- The boomerang bounces away from enemies and other blocks after contact.
- If not caught, the ability with go through a full cooldown of 12 seconds.- Low damage 0.5-1 times as much as normal attack

## Stat gain per level

### Notes

* Boomeranger receives 2 extra stats at level 20, also the attack speed cap at level 20 is 180 instead of 170. The evidence is shown here --->http://imgur.com/ujuezn6
* Boomeranger has no energy so equipping energy regeneration items are pointless.

## Gameplay Strategy

### Tactics

Due to the Boomeranger's passive, Finishing Blow, it is recommended for players to obtain gear that has lots of Physical Damage and Attack Speed to get maximum damage output. Players can use this class two different ways, a bulky melee fighter (due to masive AoE damage) or a supportive bow user.

### Teamplay

* The Boomeranger easily synergies well with Ice Sage. Her slow allows you to hit more boomerangs so you can kite them and let you catch your boomerangs.

### General Tips

* Catch your Boomerang to reduce your cooldowns so you can do more damage faster.
* Try to wear gear that gives attack speed to maximize your damage from your passive.
* Your ultimate is luck based. It can do something really random and can mess you up in situations.
* Using allies like Rapt Berserker will help increase the damage output while Prowling Shadow or Samantha can help with survivability.
* When using a Melee weapon, keep yourself in the middle of the fight. Don't split up just to take down the ranged enemies in the back line.

### Flasks and Emblems

There are a few really interesting emblem combinations you can use, but it is recommend to use the bandolier for a flask since the emblems will provide more of a use when fighting enemies.

* Martial+Shadow Shrike: If you have this, you'll be really ultimate reliant. Whenever you get chicken from your urn, use it, the martial will give double damage for your shadow shrike minion and your chicken, and the shadow shrike minion is just an extra minion to add to the chicken army.
* Chronomatic: Useful for cooldown reduction, you can combine this with a lot of other emblems like unyielding, shadow shrike or martial.
* Restorative: Recomended if you have a LOT of health regen from items, since it doubles your health regen for 10 seconds. VERY useful in combination with bandolier since bandolier has less heal but more charges, but the health regen boost effectively cancels out the reduced health gain from the flask.
* Berserker+Vampiric: Recommend this if you're using a sword, if you have enough health you can switch out the Vampiric for martial for insane damage.

### Allies

There are several Allies that can be used to benefit the Boomeranger some in which can help survivability and/or increase overall damage.

* Rapt Berserker: Useful for getting the maximum damage output on the class to deal damage in large groups of enemies. The additional Movement Speed and the Health Regeneration is a factor that also benefits, especially for Bow users.
* Prowling Shadow: With the maximum Attack Speed, this is extremely effective in staying alive. This is recommended for Melee users because of the range of the Boomerangers basic attack (Including the Passive). In combination with the Vamparic Emblem, for every hit will give 4.4% health back.
* Samantha: An alternative to the Prowling Shadow but with Jumps and Superstition instead of Movement Speed.
* Elder Dragonling: An all around useful ally however difficult to obtain then most allies. This ally gives all necessary stat boosts like Damage, Cooldown, and the additional ability to Ignite enemies when damaged for additional damage to groups of enemies.
* Bitty Shadow Bro: Similar to the Dragonling but with a few differences. The damage remains the same until its ability kicks in. It has a special ability to increase Movement Speed, Attack Speed, and Damage drastically but with the chance of 25% of the ability setting off when defeating an enemy. Recommended for player doing damage to large groups of enemies to increase the chance to activate the ability.
* Shield Servitor: A nice defensive ally that increases survivability, even on higher difficulty. Although the Prowling Shadow/Samantha ally is more useful for surviving enemies, this ally can still be useful if the player does not have either ally.
* Chronomancer Qubesly: Not recommended for damage but helps in decreasing cooldowns.

### Skill Usage

* Spam your boomerang as much as you can and catch it whenever you can.
* Don't always rely on the ultimate to replenish your cooldowns and/or health, the ability is completely random and can harm the player if used in that way.
* **Big Bomb** does lots of damage, but it takes a long time for it to explode. Drop it early in the fight and then bait the enemies to maximize your chances of landing it.
* **Big Bomb** has the ability to destroy traps such as Fireball and Flamethrowers. Plant them near those traps to destroy them.
* **Big Bomb** specializes in destroying weak monsters, some examples include boss buffs and trash mobs.

### Beware of

* Teleporting monsters can make you miss all your skills since all of them are not targetable (excluding Quichiks). Fire your skills after he teleports to land lots of skills.
* Other players who use Neon Ninja can harm the Quichiks by immobolizing them with the Stasis Blade ability. Be wary of those players especially in Shadow Arenas.
* Bosses with Thorns can greatly harm when taking advantage of the Boomeranger's Passive, dealing lots of hits while the bosses' ability is active can cause extreme damage.
* Bosses with the Frost Buff can hinder the Boomeranger's Attack Speed and loose advantage of the Passive.
