Use and Planning
Cannons are strong direct-damage weapons for Raider-style pressure.
Evaluate this weapon through the same questions every time: does it hit reliably, does it deal the kind of damage you need, can your build support its ammo and cooldown, and does it solve the target you are fighting? Shields, Dodge, repair windows, group positioning, and control effects can matter more than the largest number in the Core stats column.
Main requirements: Weaponry 8, Raider techniques 3.
Check the highest row you can currently use before spending Uranium. A lower-level item that fits your build can be better than a higher-level item with the wrong scaling or combat rule.
FAQ
Should I buy every new level?
Only when the new level gives enough value for your current activity. Compare the Uranium price, ammunition cost, cooldown, and requirements before replacing an item that already works.
What matters more: raw stats or combat rules?
Both matter. Raw stats decide the base value, but combat rules decide whether the weapon can miss, crit, pierce shields, apply a state, or support allies.
