How to use Faster Throwing

Faster Throwing cuts the Boomerang Monkey's attack cooldown by 25%, from 1.2 to 0.9 seconds, for about 33% more throws per second. On MOAB Press and MOAB Domination it also shortens the cooldown of the heavy anti-MOAB kylie by 20%. On Glaive Lord it speeds up the thrown glaives but not the orbiting ones.

When to buy it

On a lone 0-1-0 it is weaker than placing another Boomerang Monkey. Its value is as a crosspath and as the first step toward Faster Rangs. Early on, a 2-1-0 or 1-1-0 Boomerang Monkey is an affordable opener that holds the first rounds, and most middle-path crosspaths go on to tier 2 anyway.

It is also the cheapest way to get extra heavy kylies from a MOAB Press without committing to Faster Rangs.

Is it worth it?

Yes as a crosspath step. Buy it when you are heading to Faster Rangs or when a top or bottom path boomerang needs a small speed boost.
