Price/Power (0/5)
Snowballs are all one use items which are generally not worth using at the best of times. This one is no exception to that rule. Offering only 8 icons it is already crushed by many non-single use items.

Countermeasures (0/5)
It gets worse when you consider it is blocked entirely by the popular Leaf Shield- that is a very bad thing for anyone planning on using this weapon.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
Get a stronger Throwing Cutlass or Scroll of the Scholar instead, it is multiuse and a ton more useful to you. If you really insist on a one use item at LEAST get a Shooting Star Muffin I implore you.

Other Points (2 bonus)
Always trying to encourage them to release more battledome weapons as prizes, even if it IS hard.

Final Thoughts
Considering this "snowball" is made of dung, it may have its uses anyway.. just not in the battledome.

Overview: Why do we need another one-use item that does water and earth? I have no answer. This is my actual question to TNT.

The Good: It's being given out, so the cost will likely fall to under 20np fairly quickly.

The Bad: There are already plenty of one-use water/air combo weapons out there, so this snowball is so redundant it's not even funny. Here's a few cheap ones:
  • On the cheap side there's the Sticky Snowball, which does a minimum of 8.82 icons, yet already costs under 10np.
  • Then there's the slight upgrade to the Snow Mudball, which costs only 80np or so, despite inflicting a minimum of 9.66 icons.
  • The best deal of the bunch is the Water Muffin, which despite the price tag of only 30np, dishes out 15 icons every time (that's one icon shy of dual Tyrannian Snowballs, and it's currently one third the price). Honestly the Water Muffin is the only one-time-use weapon listed here that I'd ever actually equip
The Ugly Truth: There is no reason to use a Tyrannian Snowball. Even if you get it for free, it's not worth equipping. Just sell it and buy a few Water Muffins.
