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

Price(0/3): Way, way more expensive than it's worth. You could easily buy way more useful battledome items with the amount of neopoints this one costs.
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.
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.

Overall it's just your average underpowered, useless item. Nothing worth checking out here. 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)
Not even a full 5 icons most of the time- a 5% chance is laughably small at the best of times but this is just... wow.

Countermeasures (0/5)
Full physical is only good if you are trying to avoid someone who is using purely reflectors. It is very easy to block thanks to many common shields and the Altadorian Swordbreaker.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
If you really want a physical based attack your best option is the Stone Foam Finger- it would be cheaper too.

Other Points

Final Thoughts
There was a 5% chance that I would have ignored my gripes with this weapon and rated it slightly higher as a joke. Guess which roll won.

Price/power (0/5): Very expensive and doesn't do nearly enough damage.

Tactical (0/5): All physical is usually a bad idea, but what really makes this weapon useless is its lack of power. Get a Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer or Scroll of Ultranova or something.

Bonus (1/1): Only because I can't give this a 0.

Closing remarks: Don't trust anything associated with the Battle Faerie. There are plenty of better beginner's weapons, and if you're willing to pay for this blade, get an Altador Cup Throwing Star instead.
