CLASH OF CLANS CANNON Summary

“Cannons are great for point defense. Upgrade cannons to increase their firepower, but beware that your defensive turrets cannot shoot while being upgraded!”

• Cannon is unlocked at Clash of Clan Town Hall 1.


• COC Cannons are both cheap and quick to upgrade at lower levels. Hence while upgrading Town hall, you must upgrade COC cannons first.

• All players are required to build a Cannon during the tutorial.

Range: 9 units
Targets: Ground units only
Building Size: 3 units by 3 units

Clash of Clans Cannon Defensive Strategy

• Cannons have a high rate of fire and a decent range, which makes them an ideal deterrent for Wall Breakers (which have extremely low health).It also eat king/queen  early if come in the ranges.


• Cannons are very useful for keeping Giants from attacking other defenses.


• You can defend Mortars and Wizard Towers by placing them within range of Cannons.


• Cannons can play important role in killing COC Heros. So Place it inside so that it can have major damage on heros.


• Make sure Cannons are placed within range of Air Defenses, because Cannons are unable to target air units (or at least in range of an Archer Tower or Wizard Tower).


• Upgrade these structures and Mortars first at lower levels, as they are one of your main ground defenses. They are also the cheapest and most common defensive structure available, which makes them a good initial investment.


• At Town Hall 5 (maybe above too), if two Cannons are placed near each other, it could be a great help as sometimes players mostly try to go for the Archer Towers using Giants, which makes them shotguns thus killing Giants easily.

Clash of Clans Cannon Offensive Strategy

• Because COC Cannons cannot attack air, always check to see if any Cannons are not within range of an Air Attacking defense.  If it is not, it is easy to pick off with a Minion.


• Cannons can only target one unit at a time making them vulnerable to large groups of Barbarians or Archers.

Clash of Clans Cannon Upgrade Differences

Lets see how different level of clash of clan Cannons look and their details.

Clash of Clan Cannon Level 1

When initially constructed, the Cannon consists of a short dark metal barrel mounted on a crude four-legged wooden platform.

Clash of Clan Cannon Level 2

At level 2, the Cannon's base receives a wooden stabilizer tied to the legs with ropes.

Clash of Clan Cannon Level 3

At level 3, the Cannon's leg stabilizer becomes stouter and the cannon becomes larger. The base itself rotates 45 degrees within the 3x3 square (ostensibly to accommodate the later, larger upgrades of the Cannon).

Clash of Clan Cannon Level 4

At level 4, the Cannon barrel receives two decorative latitudinal ridges, one midway along the barrel and one at the rear. The platform's leg stabilizer is removed in favor of a larger and stouter main support platform with much shorter legs.

Clash of Clan Cannon Level 5

At level 5, the Cannon base's wooden legs are replaced with metal ones and its metal ring which it pivots on gets wider.

Clash of Clan Cannon Level 6

At level 6, the Cannon base receives a pair of what appear to be metal clamps or straps on opposite sides of the platform to anchor the barrel more firmly to the rotational mount. The pivot it sits on is replace with metal as well.

Clash of Clan Cannon Level 7
