Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) it's not only good with ZJ, it's good with all decks too. User "planteorfemboy" from Discord says aggro without fright night "sucks". exneg interaction with bioboomer is stupidly irrelevant. I'll still wait for more users to give their consensus on bioboomer, though... also... "i think unless youre playing burn/aggro or maybe zj ninjas its like a requirement to have 3x bioboomer in the deck" |

- 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'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 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.
- Bionic Boomerang's high ammo on play enables flexible targeting, allowing it to do things like pop two Sentinel Bloons and a Blooming Bloon by itself, even on 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.
- In Boss Battles against Dreadbloon, Bionic Boomerang does great burst damage if Armor is not present. One Bionic Boomerang plus Berserker Brew does enough damage to one-shot Rock Bloons, 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 has had its damage decreased from 55 to 50. Although this is a pretty good tower for aggro, the thing about Bionic Boomerang that pushed it over the edge was how good of its burst damage it was to the point where you could use it in pretty much every deck for any thing. 220 burst for 6 was just an insane amount of burst damage that made it really easy to run in whatever deck in whatever archetype, because even in super late-game situations it would still be incredibly useful, and although that's still the case, 200 burst is a lot easier of a health to manage than 220, which was just that little bit extra that made Bionic Boomerang a little too much.
