'''Shield Boomerang''' is an offensive skill of the [[Crusader]] class that hurls the equipped shield at a distant enemy, dealing physical damage influenced by the shield's weight and refine level.

== Overview ==
Shield Boomerang gives the Crusader a ranged option built around the shield itself. Heavier and more refined shields hit harder, so the skill rewards investing in a well-refined, weighty shield. Its range grows with skill level. A shield must be equipped to use it.

== Mechanics ==
'''Damage formula:'''
* Damage = 150 + 30 × SkillLv (% of ATK)
* Bonus attack power = shield Weight + 4 × shield Refine

The attack takes the element of the user's weapon. While Auto Guard is active, Shield Boomerang deals extra damage equal to +2 × (Auto Guard level) % of its damage.

== Leveling ==
SP cost stays flat at every level, so leveling Shield Boomerang purely increases damage and throwing range. Maxing it gives the longest reach and the highest base multiplier.

== Notes ==
Shield Boomerang can be copied by Plagiarism and Reproduce. It requires Shield Charge as a prerequisite.
