Ratings - Flotsam Star Blade
Rating:

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

Price(0/3): Completely worthless. Any neopoint spent on this item would be a waste, so it doesn't matter if it were dirt-cheap.
Power(0/5): The amount of icons this weapon does is too low for today's battledome. Even at its best it wouldn't be able to deal enough damage, making it completely worthless since your opponent would out-damage you every time. Icon types don't really matter when the damage output is this low, so even if it had the best icon types this would be useless On top of that, this is a species restricted weapon, so even if it was good you'd need to have the respective neopet to use it.
Uniqueness(0/2): Sadly, most weapons tend to be rather underpowered or bland, be it because of lower than average icon count, easy to block icon types, or just oversaturation. This isn't the exception. Most species restricted weapons are like this, sadly.

Overall It's what you expect from a species restricted weapon. Only the healers and freezers are really worth it. 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.

Price/power (0/5): Weak and not worth the NP.

Tactical (0/5): Useless in battle. We're not in the 4- or 6-icon era anymore.

Bonus (1/1): Because I can't give it a 0.

Closing remarks: Get a Scroll of the Fool instead.

Price/Power (0/5)
This has very strange stats behind it, doesn't it? I feel sorry for whoever had to test this particular weapon. But anyway. The price of this weapon just doesn't match up with the "power". I say power as "power" since this weapon is laughably weak and even for 1np would be worthless.

Countermeasures (0/5)
The Scarab Ring is just one of many items which can cut this down to size.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
Anything. Just get a Energy Blaster or Scroll of the Fool instead.

Other Points (1 Bonus)

Final Thoughts
Poor starfish.

Overview: I feel like one of the TNT members accidentally submitted a sketch of a Pokemon instead of the real Flotsam Star Blade when they were done with the art. Then someone didn't like it so they made the weapon terrible.

The Good: Nostalgia of my pre-neopets days comes back when I see this weapon.

The Bad: A maximum of 7 icons is fairly weak. When you consider that this averages less than the bad free giveaway items like Bone Sceptre, yuo can see how terrible it really is.

The Ugly Truth: If you want multi-icon battling that isn't so terrible, just pick up a Scroll of Ultranova. If you like nostalgia for things that aren't Neopets, and you don't plan on using it for actually battling, the Flotsam Star Blade is probably your only Pokemon nostalgia weapon.
