Looking at what it does in NI I don't see why it wouldn't be useful, although I don't recall trying it - each blast deals 2d10 crushing damage with a save for half, which bypasses magic resistance. I believe this would be effective against most IA enemies, although it will not deal much damage. It also causes Stun and a Wing Buffet effect, although if you save against the damage you don't suffer the Stun. Of course some enemies will have immunity to Stun and/or Wing Buffet, so wouldn't be affected.

The problem is that (as far as I know) the Horn also affects party members, who would be vulnerable to the Wing Buffet and damage even if somehow protected from the Stun. So probably it's best used only in desperate circumstances. Maybe it could be useful for interrupting enemy spellcasting if you suspect a dangerous spell is being cast? Try it and let us know.
