==Tips==

*Bionic Boomerang's ~~bonus ammo on play allows~~ it ~~to have very~~ strong burst damage.

*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 good synergy with [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]'s Rad Enhancements ~~for shutting down opponent's rushes during early-to-midgame~~.

*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.

*Bionic Boomerang has the highest burst damage from the 1–6 cost range, making it ~~solid at~~ countering Aggro or early Tempo strategies.

**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.

*~~Its moderate DPT after~~ its initial burst of damage is ~~good enough to where it’s not completely dead weight to keep~~ on the field.

*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]].

*~~A reloading~~ Bionic Boomerang ~~targeted by Expert Negotiator will~~ not ~~start with 4 Ammo~~, ~~but instead effectively reload~~, as ~~its On Play effect gives 2 Ammo, albeit temporarily. Thus, using Negotiator~~ on ~~a Bionic Boomerang should take this into account~~.

*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.

*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.
