Wooden Boomerang

The Wooden Boomerang can be found in Chests near the surface.

While not very powerful and not as fast as other boomerangs, the Wooden Boomerang is a very good weapon for new characters to use before they make their first bow, or even after that, find their first gun. The range on it is good for picking off Demon Eyes, its high knockback is good at keeping dangerous enemies at a safe distance, and it can help newcomers survive much more easily. It's recommended that new characters pick one up as soon as possible, but it should be replaced with a more powerful ranged weapon later. This weapon is also very effective against the Eye of Cthulhu as when it gets close you can rapidly spam the boomerang and get a lot of hit points off in minimal time.

Tips

 * Boomerangs can only have universal prefixes, because they can't have their speed modified. The best universal prefix is Godly.
 * There is a glitch in the mobile version where the player can throw the boomerang horizontally through the wall and makes it extremely overpowered against bosses that cannot move through walls.
