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 while it barely defends against any icons, defeating the purpose of a dual duty. It'd be better to focus on either attack or defence instead of splitting total icons like this. 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): Dual duties should compromise a bit of attacking power for extra defence or the other way around. This, like many others, is just underpowered. 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)
A species restricted weak dual duty? Power is way too low for the price.

Countermeasures (0/5)
Fire is good, but you really need a lot more of it to get past the lower level blockers

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
Flask of Liquid Fire for attack, Rusty Pitchfork or Golden Compass for dual duty.

Other Points

Final Thoughts
Consider the single point given due to the fact that it actually looks pretty good with the fire like that.

Price/power (0/5): There are better dual duties out there. The 3 attacking icons aren't enough for anything and neither is the defense.

Tactical (1/5): Easily outdamaged. Could tie a few 9-iconers such as the Ridiculously Heavy Battle Hammer, but ultimately still not useful.

Bonus (0/1): Scorchios need better weapons. Seriously.

Closing remarks: Get a real dual duty, such as a Scarab Ring. Earth defense can be handled by a plethora of shields, including the Leaf Shield, Shiny Shoal Shell Shield, and Sophies Magic Hat.
