0.00 - November 26 - The idea to create a guide, for players to learn
                   how to use the boomer effectively, occured.

1.00 - November 27 - When all the real work started, and got it all
                   down. First submitted to GameFAQs.

1.10 - November 29 - Guide was shot down. Added info in an attempt to
                   get posted.

 One night after many weeks (months?) and a look at the FAQ page for
Gunbound, I decided the people need to know how to use the boomer.
When I first started playing, I thought that you had to be a pro or
a hacker to use the wooden mobile, but no. All you need to know are
some numbers and tricks. After reading this guide, you will be well
on your way to becoming a master of the boomerlauncher!*

*your results may vary

And my name has a ZERO on the end, not a capital "o".

Advantages: Being light as it is, it has a relatively high
mobility. I'll never understand, but the boomerangs it shoots hurt
a lot. Somehow the people from Miramo (creators of the boomer) have
have made this wooden log a living creature. That means it is strong
against lightning (+4% defense) and takes the health bonus from
heals.

Disadvantages: The boomer, being wooden, has low health and low
defense (as aposed to metal). The boomer is a creature, and all
creatures are weak to laser weapons (-4% defense).

Advantages:
      - High damage
      - High movement and climbing
      - High angle range
      - Not magnetic
      - Heal bonus
      - Multiple shots

Disadvantages:
      - Hard to aim in wind
      - Low health and defense
      - Takes getting used to
      - Small explosion on the ground

 BIG: The boomer's shots are HIGHLY affected by wind. When I say this
I MEAN it's highly affected by wind. A difference of 1 wind can
affect your shot, unless you use angle 89, but I'll talk about that
later.

 GENERAL COMMENTS: All three of the boomer's shots (1,2, and SS) are
the exact same weight but do more damage respectively. The first shot
has low delay (~90) and does okay damage. The second shot shoots four
boomerangs that do about 1/2 the damage of the first shot each and is
good for digging. The SS must be in the air for 3-4 seconds so it can 
change into a golden 'rang of doom. It does 500 dmg on a direct hit
on a jewel/newb. All three of these attacks MUST hit the tank to do
damage. If you hit just in front, you could do no damage at all.

 WIND: This is a HUGE problem for newbies trying out the boomer. But
with a few tricks, it can be easily countered. 

0-1 wind: Your shots wont be affected by the wind at all. If you want
          to go for the high angle bonus, here are a few tips. If you
          want to hit a tank that is a tank away, shoot almost
          straight up and a bit towards them. Put it to 89 and shoot
          full power (use dragshot to be quicker). Now right click
          and hold on the screen and drag it so your tank is right at
          the edge. If you aim at 82 (towards the other side) and
          shoot full power, you will hit the other edge of the screen
          AT THE SAME LEVEL AS YOUR TANK. If your target is higher,
          your shot won't make it to them.

2-3 wind: BE CAREFUL! If you don't look at the wind before you shoot,
          the wind could easily change from 1 to 2. THIS MAKES ALL
          THE DIFFERANCE! In 2-3 wind, your shots WILL be affected by
          wind (a lot). Just be careful and try to adjust your shot
          accordingly. Don't try for high angles unless you know what
          you're doing.

4+ wind:  If the wind is facing in your target's direction, aim the
          other way and go between angle 70 and 75 (preferably 70).
          If you shoot full power, the shot will go the way your tank
          is facing (against the wind), if you shoot ANYTHING less
          than full, your shot will stop in mid-air and go the other
          way. This is how to do the back shot. If the wind is weak
          or pointing down, it will be hard to reach enemies far away
          using the back shot.

Any wind   If you are to the left of your target, use the strat above
facing the using full power. If you're to the right, follow these
wrong way: instructions. Put the needle to 89 and make sure it's
           facing your target (slightly, but enough). Now, depending
           on the distance, shoot enough power you think is needed to
           hit your target. This will take some practice, but it will
           come in handy on a 1v1 when the wind is against you. This
           is called the bug shot. (They might have patched this) 
           If you don't want to do any fancy tricks to counter the
           wind, just aim lower than 45 degrees (sometimes below 40
           is needed).

Using duals: NEVER use a dual to dig any amount of dirt if you want
             to deal maximum damage. A really cheap thing to do with
             duals is to use a dual, skip a turn, then use another
             item like lightning or blood (so far those are the only
             ones I know work), then you can use BOTH items in ONE
             turn!

Elements:
 Force: This will increase the damage you deal to your target. If you
  can, use your SS to deal major damage.
 Hurricane: This isn't too bad for the boomer, so just remember if
  your shot is going up, the hurricane will make it go higher and
  visa versa.
 Lightning: This causes a bolt of lightning to come from the top of
  the screen and travel straight down to the spot where your shot
  hit. This is great for the boomer's second shot because one bolt
  will come down for EVERY boomerang. So use shot 2 for max damage.
 Wind: Keep your eye on this at all times and refer to the
  strategies above for help.
 Thor: Like lightning, this will fire a laser from the satellite to
  where your shot landed. Use shot 2 for MAJOR damage.

 Thank you to GameFAQs for posting this FAQ, Gatacus (GB name) for
teaching me the specifics, my brain, body, and hands for putting all
this down onto the computer, S@ftnyx for creating such an awesome
game, exploder for the nak FAQ I used to see what people want in a
mobile guide, and anyone who tells me corrections or comments.
