Cross Boomerang A weapon designed to be effective in crowd controls. Requires advance skill in throwing the Cross Boomerang as control and precision are required in order to effectively use it in battle. Though they don't boast in power, then surely give the hunter great field control.
Mechanics/How it Works When thrown, the Cross Boomerang will fly straight towards the direction, hitting and damaging anything that hits on its path before returning back to the user. But in order to use the Cross Boomerang, one must charge it in order to throw it otherwise it won't be released. If the user tilts the Analog Stick to the right or left during their charge(Although their direction won't change and they'll still be looking straight) their Cross Boomerang will go to a ) or ( direction, effectively changing their course before returning back to the user in a full circle. Regardless of where or when, after it is charged and thrown, the user is able to freely move around but is rendered weaponless until the Cross Boomerang has returned.

This was nicely thought out, but I personally would probably find it a bit aggravating to use. Maybe that's just me.173.22.241.179 17:16, December 4, 2010 (UTC)Cobalt
This weapon's weapon power falls between Sns and Lance catagory, and this can be quiet effective for huge monsters if the boomerang acts as a pierce shot from a bow, id say that used on a Yama Tatsukami would get between 20-30 hits from a fulls charge.
