*Bionic Boomerang's On Play effect gives it ~~very~~ strong burst damage. It is very effective for shutting down opponent's rushes during the early-to-midgame, especially with [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Rad Enhancements.

*Bionic Boomerang's On Play effect gives it strong burst damage. It is very effective for shutting down opponent's rushes during the early-to-midgame, especially with [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Rad Enhancements.

*Bionic Boomerang has the second highest burst damage from the 1–6 cost range, making it one of the best methods for countering Aggro or early Tempo strategies. The only card with more damage is [[Robo Monkey (BCS)|Robo Monkey]] with its [[Defender]] bonus.

**Aggro users should add Gold sabotage cards such as [[Fright Night]] or [[Eco Drain]] if wanting to avoid an opponent's Bionic Boomerang.

**Aggro users should add Gold sabotage cards such as [[Fright Night]] or [[Eco Drain]] if wanting to avoid an opponent's Bionic Boomerang. If they do not have these cards, being wary and not fully committing if the opponent has or will have 6 Gold is the next best option.

*Bionic Boomerang's high ammo on play enables flexible targeting, allowing it to do things like pop two [[Sentinel Bloon|Sentinel Bloons]] and a [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] by itself, even on [[Map (BCS)|Dark Castle]].

*After its initial burst of damage, it remains a ~~strong~~ Monkey that is worth keeping on the field. ~~For instance, it has~~ 5 ~~more ATK than~~ [[~~Crossbow Monkey~~]], ~~which also has 2 ammo and 2 delay~~.

*After its initial burst of damage, it remains a decent Monkey that is worth keeping on the field. It deals 5 less damage per turn in comparison to something like [[Night Vision Sniper]], but it still does a solid enough 50 DPT.

*In [[Boss Battle (BCS)|Boss Battle]]s against [[Dreadbloon (BCS)|Dreadbloon]], Bionic Boomerang does great burst damage if Armor is not present. One Bionic Boomerang plus [[Berserker Brew (BCS)|Berserker Brew]] does enough damage to one-shot [[Rock Bloon (BCS)|Rock Bloon]]s, including Stage 1 Dreadbloon's Rock Bloons from up to phase 3 if they don't have extra Armor~~, and does enough damage~~ to ~~one-shot Rock Bloons with only~~ [[~~Mass Lead Production~~]].

*Bionic Boomerang will need a little more support to pop a [[RAPID]] in one turn, such as having another shot from a Monkey or being on Game Night.
