Price/Power (0/5)
8 icons single use is nothing to write home about.

Countermeasures (0/5)
This combination isn't exactly common- but it is incredibly common for bombs. While the other person wouldn't plan for it, it does feel like there are better ways to sneak a few icons past a shield.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
The Multi Barbed Ice Spear is likely the way to go- or any other number of weapons which provide a similar icon distribution.

Other Points (1 Bonus)
It is a really cool looking snowball, likely the one they put the most effort into actually doing.

Final Thoughts
Clearly this item is the worst item in Jhudora's set, but I'd keep it in my set too if someone made me a named snowball.

This weapon will only be rated for Regular 1P/2P use, since it doesn't have any niche or league use.

Price (0/3): No matter the price, if the item is useless then it's not a good price, sadly.
Power (0/5): The amount of icons is still below today's standard, and most bombs, this snowball is single use, so it'd only be a waste of neopoints to use it.
Uniqueness (0/2): There's a huge amount of snowballs like this.

Overall it's what you'd expect from a snowball. Sadly these weapons aren't really useful anymore. Because of that its final rating is 0/10. I can't give a rating of 0 however, so it gets a shameful 1 instead.

Overview: I really enjoy the art of Jhudoras Snowball, and the icon mix is interesting, but at 8 icons its too weak to be viable outside of playing around for beginners.

The Good: Dark and Water is a decent mix. There aren't a whole lot of cheap dual-icon weapons, so the 1np-per-use snowball is a welcome addition.

The Bad: 8 icons is still too weak in the beginner dome. Really, with Scroll of Ultranova being commonly sold at 20np or less, and both Scroll of the Fooland Scroll of the Wise selling for around 5,000np, you can overpower this for the amount of np you'd earn in 30 minutes of games playing.

The Ugly Truth: While I would love for another powerful Jhudora weapon to be available to battlers, this isn't it.
