The Flamarang in use.

The Flamarang is a pre-Hardmode boomerang and is the upgraded version of the Enchanted Boomerang, which deals more damage and has a (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 1/2 (50%) / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 1/5 (20%) chance of inflicting the On Fire! debuff to enemies for 3 seconds. It travels faster than the Enchanted Boomerang and emits more light. The light particles also travel through walls.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.

Notes

• Just like the Enchanted Boomerang, water decreases its range.
• Boomerangs can only have universal modifiers, because they cannot have their speed modified.

Tips

• This weapon works very well against Queen Bee when she is stationary and spawning Bees, as the Flamarang will both set Queen Bee on fire and kill approaching bees.

Trivia

• Flamarang is a portmanteau of the words flame and boomerang.
• The Flamarang has the highest damage of any pre-Hardmode boomerang. It marginally surpasses the Bananarang in base damage.
