The acidic backlash ability of the Sanchuudoku is, in it's original form, far more than just a green fireshield. While a normal fireshield will only return fire if you're hit within melee range by a physical weapon, the acidic backlash will strike your opponent regardless of how, when, or from where he damaged you. Try it vs Beholders or Gauths, they go down
very fast. Or how about enemy mages, a magic missile cast in your general direction would cause five acid arrows to fly back to the caster.
Truly one of the cheesiest effects in the game IMHO. Though it is otherwise a very cool weapon with added convenience of being able to not only damage everything in the game, but damage them good! That's why I simply removed the acidic backlash and toned down the regen in my game, and happily continue to use it
