Price/Power (1/5)
8 Icons isn't totally horrible, it is a semi decent burst for an item you most likely received free when it came out. However, when given the price of alternatives this becomes slightly less exciting.

Countermeasures (0/5)
Another item that is stopped by the Tower Shield entirely. I really hope that goes down in price one day since I say that a lot recently.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
As mentioned in these other reviews there are plenty of other options out there with the Brightvale scrolls such as Scroll of Ultranova leading the pack.

Other Points (1 Bonus)
It looks nice, and I do like to encourage TNT to release more weapons as prizes.

Final Thoughts
While I wont say "it could have been so much more"- this review may have been different if it had another 1-2 icon types.

Overview: My what a colorful sword! But what does it do? Not much? OK then.

The Good: Well I'm always for weapons being handed out to get the youngsters involved in the dome. Unfortunately there's not much good to say about the sword.

The Bad: Four different Icon types means that shields and dual duties will almost always take a chunk out of the sword. Unfortunately, with only 8 offensive icons being dealt, the sword can't punch through shields at all.

The Ugly Truth: With weapons like the Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer and (one of my favorites) the Scroll of Ultranova both beating this and both coming in at under 20np, there's no reason to buy this underwhelming sword.

Price/power (0/5): Costs more than 1000 NP as of the time of writing. The Scroll of Ultranova still costs around 1 NP.

Tactical (/5): Icons are quite spread out and there aren't a whole lot of icons in each type. While this combination isn't exactly easy to block (the only other weapon with this combination that you might ever see is the Rainbow Clockwork Grundo), the problem is that whatever you get though--even if it's all 8 icons--you won't be doing enough damage.

Bonus (1/1): It does look nice, if nothing else.

Closing remarks: Earth and water seem to have canceled each other out for some reason. Get a Scroll of Ultranova or Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer instead.
