Any pro cannoner here? I need some help

I just got very nice cannon yesterday and i have planned to play cannoner.
but my question is,
1.what is a good build for cannoner?
2. Should i go for Full str or Dex?
3. What skill do i need and which one should i max?
4. my build Archer/ranger/Sap3/App/Can3 but i plan changing it to Archer/ranger3/Sap2/Can3
which one better?

thank you in advance

  1. I’m a Archer2QS3AppCanon3, qs for some cheap aa damage. You can consider having scout ( for cloaking ) or rogue 2 + werewolf cards for crit chance. The damage from earlier ranks won’t matter much unless u invest in a good xbow; you’ll spend most of your time in bazooka mode anyway so i’d advise you to pick classes that give you utility.

  2. Full str for bazooka mode, full dex for kneeling shot. As a casual player with not much investment, bazooka gives better damage than kneeling shot. Bazooka att speed does nt benefit from dex, chrono haste, running shot etc, so if you’re choosing bazooka mode, dex has minimal benefits.

Personally, you might want to invest in spr; having abt 8-10k sp allows u to spam skills without using too many pots; canon skills drain a lot of sp.

  1. Sweeping canon and canon barrage are the best canon skills imo, you should max those 2. If you’re choosing bazooka canon, you should max bazooka as well. So that will be

5 in sweeping canon
10 in canon barrage
10 in bazooka

Canon blast is only good for the armor break attribute so i put 1 point in it.

I dont have any points in siege burst and I havent tried that skill b4 so I have no idea if it is good.

Smoke grenade deserves some points in it; the damage incrs is great but it doesnt work on bosses and its aoe is kinda small.

Canon shot is a cheap dps skill with its attribute, you may want to have more points in it. However, it does not work well with air units

Shootdown is the flying mobs version of canon shot, and it has an attribute, shootdown : falling, which makes flying mobs take 100% of canon shot’s dmg instead of 50%. Note that hitting flying units with canon shot will not trigger the chain explosion attribute like it does on ground mob; it just receives 100% dmg from canon shot.

You can choose to max canon shot and invest 1 point in shootdown for the attribute or put points in canon shot and shootdown for ground units and flying units respectively.

My points distribution is

5 sweeping canon
10 canon barrage
10 bazooka
7 smoke grenade
1 canon blast
6 canon shot
6 shootdown

The points in shootdown is particularly useful in maps like sausys 9 whr half the mobs are flying units

  1. I dont know enough about ranger to advise, but you might want to consider archer 2 for the 150 crit rate.
