Unit Voice[]
Usage[]
The Cannon shoots out deadly cannonballs which send units flying and deals a lot of damage. Upon striking an enemy unit, the cannonball breaks into three "shards" like a frag bomb, each of which can damage other Unit if they maintain momentum. The cannon fires from a distance, trying to take down the light melee and long-range units before they attack it. They have a relatively short cooldown, although still requiring infantry support. It's a great counter to the Cactus.
The Pirate (Map) has artillery batteries on each ship which can keep the Cannons stationary.
