Price/Power (0/5)
Another day, another weapon which is useless in today's battledome.

Countermeasures (0/5)
Very small number of icons, not enough bulk to cut through most blocking items.

Final Thoughts
This surely is an ancient cannon, maybe back in ancient times it was actually worth using?

At a Glance (0/3):
Your opponent is history when they get blasted by 5.3-8 total icons of damage!

In-Depth (0/4):
Extremely weak all across the board. Today's icon standard is 10. Anything below that had better be a dual duty in order to be viable. Grab a Sun and Moon Chakram instead.

Price (1/2):
At 1 np, you'd think this would be a good buy. Perhaps. But the aforementioned chakram has more light and trades the earth and physical damage for 5 dark damage and costs 4.999k more. I'd say that would be a better deal than this. Just requires an extra playthrough of a couple of flash games is all.

Bonus (0/1):
This weapon is a perfect example of "cannon fodder"!

What's that? 2 puns in one review is too much? Watch me fire off another one! Huehuehuehuehue

Final Score: 1/10

Thanks to the Mysterious Negg Cave daily, this weapon costs 1NP; items can't get any cheaper than that. However, thanks to flash games and dailies, every player on Neopets is capable of effortlessly gaining a couple hundred if not thousand of Neopoints everyday. This means that cheap 8 and 9 icon weapons like Scroll of Virtue and Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer are just as accessible to all players as 1NP weapons like Ancient Shenkuu Cannon.

Jade Staff and Superior Shovel are two more cheap weapons dealing Earth and Light icons that offer some defense as well.

Ancient Shenkuu Cannon is not the worst weapon in the game, but 5.3 to 8 icons is nothing special compared to all of the cheap options available today.
