11 The Boomerang is a thrown weapon that deals damage twice per throw: once as it travels outward and once as it returns to Elliot. This double-hit nature makes it one of the more efficient ranged options for dealing repeated damage without closing into melee range.

33 In the Prologue Demo, the basic boomerang is the Spin Back (attack 6), a wooden hunting boomerang that can be bought from a shop early on.

55 Attack Behavior

77 Throwing the boomerang sends it in an arc toward enemies ahead of Elliot; it then curves back to his position. Any target caught in its path takes a hit on both passes. Because the return arc can clip enemies that shifted position after the outward throw, the boomerang rewards spatial awareness in the combat system. It also functions as a reaching tool for interacting with distant objects or picking up dropped items on the return path.

1515 The boomerang's outward-and-back route means a single throw can hit an enemy twice or strike multiple enemies arranged along the flight path. This gives it strong efficiency against grouped foes without requiring ammunition, unlike the bow. It is well suited for hitting enemies at a distance and for picking up items mid-combat without walking into dangerous positions.

1919 Magicite for the Boomerang covers shared pieces (Attack Up, Critical Rate Up, Charge Time Down, Critical Damage Up) as well as the weapon-specific pieces below. Higher rarity can strengthen an effect or lower its equip cost, depending on the piece. The table lists every piece available for the Boomerang, with its effect at one star, its effect at five stars where it scales, and its equip cost. See Magicite for how pieces are formed and the Magicite Box for equip-cost limits.
