Description

A Cannon on wheels?! Bet they won't see that coming! At low health, it becomes a Cannon not on wheels.

Cannon Cart battle strategy

At 5 elixir, Cannon Cart plays as a Epic troop that targets ground. Released in 2017, it remains a reliable option for balancing offense and defense.

Opening plays and tempo

Lead with Cannon Cart when you can float 5 elixir. It lets you test your opponent's responses without committing a full push.

Support combinations

Pair Cannon Cart with spells or support troops that amplify a troop's pressure. Knockback, rage, or splash damage keep it on the board longer.

Defensive flip

Hold Cannon Cart for ground pushes when you need a fast trade. Survive the defense, then stack it behind surviving units for a counterattack.

Synergies and deck ideas

Cheap cycle cards help you get back to Cannon Cart whenever you need its toolkit in rotation.

Mix Cannon Cart with win conditions that benefit from its support or let it pressure the opposite lane as a secondary win condition.

Playing around counters

  • Identify hard counters early

    Watch for buildings, splash damage, or swarms that shut Cannon Cart down. Force those answers out with spells or opposite-lane pressure.

  • Spell safety

    Avoid stacking Cannon Cart near your tower. High-damage spells punish clumped units, so stagger deployments to reduce risk.

Upgrade priorities

Track the damage and hit point breakpoints that matter at your ladder tier. Leveling Cannon Cart so it survives common counter damage keeps it relevant.
