In the vast voxel world of Trove, efficiency is the cornerstone of progress, making the Boomeranger a standout choice for players who want to master every aspect of the game. After its significant rework, the Boomeranger has risen to the top of the classes.
For many players, the primary goal is flux farming. While a Shadow Hunter remains a fan favorite due to its braindead simplicity and ability to snipe bosses through walls with its high attack speed, the Boomeranger offers a more engaged and often more powerful alternative for those willing to catch their boomerangs.
This guide will break down the essential gear & gem stats priorities, recommended empowered gem, emblems & flask selection, and recommended allies.
Recommended Gear Stats
For a DPS Boomeranger, the most effective stats focuses on Physical Damage, Critical Damage, and Attack Speed. Because the class does not use energy, you should completely ignore Energy Regeneration in favor of stats that increase raw damage.
| Slot | Stats Priorities |
|---|---|
| Weapon | Physical Damage → Attack Speed → Jump → Critical Damage |
| Hat | Max HP → Critical Damage → Attack Speed → Movement Speed |
| Face | Max HP → Critical Damage → Physical Damage → Attack Speed |
| Ring | Physical Damage → Jump |
Emblems & Flask Selections
The Best Flasks
The Death-Defying Vial is almost universally considered the best choice for any build. Because Boomerangers often fight in close quarters (even when using a bow), this flask acts as a safety net by automatically triggering before you take lethal damage. It effectively makes it impossible to die as long as you have charges.
The Best Emblems
You have one slot dedicated to raw damage and a second slot for utility or even more damage.
- Martial Emblem (Mandatory): This is a staple for all physical damage classes. It boosts your Physical Damage by 250% for 3 seconds.
- Chronomantic Emblem (High Priority): This emblem reduces all active cooldowns by 7 seconds upon use. Since the Boomeranger’s power comes from spamming the Boomerang and Mysterious Urn, this emblem is critical for keeping your “Ultimate” up almost constantly.
Shadow Shrike or 
Beamer Emblem: These are popular third-choice options for a pure DPS build. They summon a temporary ally that deals damage based on your physical stats, essentially adding a minion army to your chickens.- Vampiric Emblem: If you find yourself struggling to stay alive in high-difficulty Delves, this emblem provides life-leech, restoring an amount of your health for each attack.
Recommended Allies
The best ally choices prioritize maximizing Physical Damage and Light, while providing utility like cooldown or movement speed.
- Scorpius (The Endgame King):
- Stats: +400 Light, +25% Physical Damage, and a Movement Speed boost.
- Why it’s the best: In the current meta, Light is the single most important stat for late-game Delves and Uber 11. Scorpius is widely considered “objectively better” than older allies because it combines that massive Light bonus with the speed needed to farm dungeons efficiently.
- Jingles (The Cooldown Bridge):
- Stats: Physical Damage and Cooldown Reduction.
- Why it’s a top pick: Before you have access to high-tier Star Chart allies like Scorpius, Jingles is the premier choice for Boomerangers who want to spam their Mysterious Urn. It reduces the downtime between your big bursts of damage and chicken spawns, which is the core of the Boomeranger’s power.
- King Koba:
- Stats: High Light and Move Speed.
- Why it’s a top pick: As a high-tier ally, King Koba provides Chance to reduce ability cooldowns when a nearby enemy dies.
Gems
Recommended Gem Stats
your gem stats must prioritize Physical Damage, Critical Hit, and Critical Damage. Because the Boomeranger uses cooldowns instead of energy, any stat related to Energy Regeneration is useless and should be avoided.
Bawk-Bomb (Class Gem)
The Bawk-Bomb class gem is a foundational item for the Boomeranger, as it completely redefines the class’s secondary ability, 
Big Bomb / 
Tiny Bombs, into a high-utility damage tool. When equipped, the standard bomb is replaced with the “Bawk-Bomb,” which explodes on impact to deal massive area-of-effect (AOE) damage. The most significant feature of this transformation is that the explosion summons invincible chickens that attack nearby enemies for several seconds. These chickens inherit your base Physical Damage and can deal critical hits, making them a consistent and powerful source of passive DPS in both solo and group content.
Recommended Empowered Gem
- Berserk Battler (Cosmic): The best endgame choice for the increased Attack Speed and Light it grants while attacking.
- Pyrodisc: High priority for speed farming, providing a movement speed burst and AOE damage on kill.
- Cubic Curtain: Useful for survivability by periodically absorbing an incoming hit.
Final Thoughts
The Boomeranger stands as one of the most rewarding classes to master, offering a high-skill ceiling that pays off with massive damage and unmatched versatility. While other classes like the Shadow Hunter or Candy Barbarian offer more straightforward playstyles, the Boomeranger’s unique “catch and reset” mechanic ensures that you are always active and engaged in the fight.
