How to use Improved Rangs
Improved Rangs doubles the boomerang's pierce from 4 to 8, so each throw can pop twice as many bloons. Damage, speed and range are unchanged. It also helps the bottom path late: MOAB Press and MOAB Domination get +100 pierce on their heavy anti-MOAB kylies.
When to buy it
With the Recurring 'Rangs Monkey Knowledge, boomerangs loop around twice and can actually use the extra pierce, which makes a 1-0-0 Boomerang Monkey a strong opener for the first rounds. Without that Monkey Knowledge it is mainly a stepping stone toward Glaives.
As a crosspath it is usually taken as part of 2-x-0 or 2-0-x, so most players go straight on to Glaives instead of stopping here.
Is it worth it?
It is cheap and useful in the early game if you own Recurring 'Rangs. Otherwise think of it as the first half of the Glaives crosspath.
