You can see that line bar aimer pointing out from the cannon’s barrel, just try and pretend that it isn’t there. As long as you don’t adjust your camera side to side from the default, this aimer will be dead center where your cannon is firing. This is the same reticle as you can see on the ground. As you hold left click the charge meter will fill up until it reaches 100. The charge meter is the stamina bar that appears when you hold shift on a cannon. The lifespan bar is completely pointless, all it does is obscure the charge meter. When the cannons health reaches 0 it breaks. The health bar is pretty explanatory it is the cannons current health. The Green Box is the cannons health bar, the lifespan bar, and the charge meter. Keep in mind that any cannonballs put into a cannon can never be taken back out, so if your cannon dies or you want to pick up the cannon with ammo in it, you are SoL and that ammo is gone.Īfter you fire a shot you can dismount, but the cannon won’t cool down the cannons recharge timer will pause until you are back sitting on the cannon. When firing the cannon will take from whatever stack is on the left. You put ammo inside the cannon by pressing f5 on it, and storing cannonballs from your inventory into the cannon. The ammo count is, obviously, the current amount of cannonballs inside your cannon. When you fire the cannon, that large white cannon icon will turn red, and you won’t be able to fire again until it’s back to white. The Red Box is the Cannon recharge meter and the ammo count. Note that you will need a guild quartermaster or officer to buy them for you if you don’t hold either of those roles within your guild. If you have never touched a cannon before then you should buy a practice cannon and a few cannonballs from the guild manager. As a cannoneer you will be wanting to avoid the enemy finding your cannon, but when they do you will want to kill whoever finds you as fast as possible so you can continue firing until the enemy brings a stronger force.

Tamers, Ninjas, Kunoichis, Sorcs, Berzerkers, anyone who can win a 1v1 very fast will be a good cannoneer. Even if you have fired a cannon before you should still read over part 2 in case there’s a mechanic i’m listing that you don’t know about.Ī good cannoneer is someone who can 1v1 well. First things first, i’m going to cover the very basic mechanics of cannons.
