Not actual Cannoneer gameplay (but pretty close)
Introduction
This guide is mostly meant as a discussion place for the Cannoneer class. I will share all the information about cannoneer that i can, and will do my best to answer questions in the comment section.
I will also include a build for aspiring Cannoneers, and shortly mention different classes that i believe to work well with cannoneer.
DISCLAIMER: Cannoneer requires more investment than classes like elementalist or dragoon, before it gets the chance to shine, and will always live in the shadow of these AoE gods in raw AoE power.
Suggested stats
I suggest Full STR, if you have below 4k physical attack without counting patk from weapon, and Full DEX if you're above it, and have at least 500 crit rate, including Swift Step.
Cannoneer also drains a lot of SP, and i suggest to get around 150 SPR to keep up with the consumption, but this SPR, we can obtain from Armor and Crossbow.
Less SPR is workable, but you will need to use both alchemist potions, and the biggest NPC potions, which can add up in costs.
Suggested cards
Red cards
3x Glass Mole cards (+10% Physical attack for 6 seconds after using any type of SP potion)
Glass mole boosts the damage of your burst skills by a ton. You can fit in sweeping cannon, barrage and cannon shot all in one rotation.
Blue cards
3x Nuaele card (+10% magic defense)
or
3x Zaura card (+10% physical defense)
Both of these cards are pretty rare/expensive, but helpful to mitigate damage in bazooka mode.
Purple cards
Minimum 1 Gazing Golem card (10% chance to cast pain barrier lv1 when hit)
I suggest at least 2 Gazing Golem cards, but pain barrier is not always super neccesary.
The remaining purple slots are free to be filled with any preference card, or extra Gazing Golems for insurance. (I personally use 3x Gazing Golem cards)
Green cards
3x Netherbovine card (+10 STR)
Or
3x Linkroller card (+10 SPR)
Netherbovine can be picked to squeeze out that extra bit of physical attack. Linkroller is useful for reducing the strain of Cannoneers high SP consumption.
Skill rotation
Cannoneers low amount of skills make their rotation pretty simple, most of the time you will cast whatever is off cooldown, and fill with attacks when all your skills are on cooldown. There is however a burst combo when combined with glass mole for maximum burst.
Burst rotation: Smoke grenade > Glass mole > Sweeping cannon > 2x Cannon barrage > Cannon shot
Skill allocation and reasoning
Archer C2:
A buff slave really, all we need from here is Swift Step for the critical rate, while the rest of the skills won't be used in the final build.
Archer C2 can be replaced with scout to get cloaking if you're aiming for a PvP build.
Swift Step Lv10 - Swift step is the main reason we opt for archer C2, with its attribute that adds 150 critical rate for the entire party. We max this for the tiny evasion boost, because archer doesnt have a lot of skills we really want/need.
Multishot Lv1 - We pick this up solely to break objects, although when you obtain running shot, its not really worth it to keep this around on your hotbar anymore. Once again, we have excess points in archer, so we don't really need be careful with wasting on skills we wont use.
Full Draw Lv1 - Picked for the knockback it can provide, it can also link together monsters, although late into the build, we won't really be using this skill anymore. Once again a point dump for some potential utility.
Oblique shot Lv10 - Used in the earlygame to kill twice the amount of mobs per shot when combined with blessing, used for really earlygame grinding.
Kneeling shot Lv0 - While you can use Cannoneer skills in kneeling shot, and there's a critical chance attribute to support this. You lose out on bazookas +100% damage and autoattack scaling from your cannons attack, and that's just not worth it.
Heavy shot Lv1 - Also a filler pick for knockback. Can easily be skipped and you wouln't even notice.
Quarrel shooter C3:
"Running shot the class." What we really want from Quarrel Shooter is running shot to be combined with bazooka later. Running shot is also useful for leveling, since it lets you apply an additional proc of blessing.
Rank 3-6 are the free picks of cannoneer. I myself prefer the synergy between running shot and bazooka, but it is also possible to pick Sapper c3, Hunter c3 or even Wugu3 (replacing appraiser) if you so desire. These choices all bring their own playstyle to the build.
I will not go much into detail about the other choices here since i haven't tried them out myself yet, but if you're in doubt, ask away.
Deploy Pavise Lv15 - Pavise has several uses, it can help protect yourself from mobs while you're immobile in bazooka mode, or it can be used to gather aggro on defense floors of solmiki, although it probably won't be a gamechanger in this regard.
Scatter Caltrops Lv15 - Our early boss damaging skill. In PvP it can also be used to mess with targeting. Since this attack scales with crossbow, it won't be doing crazy damage later into the game, but it's not bad. Works well with aiming to hit all caltrops.
Stone picking/Stone shot Lv0 - In PvE stone shot is really poor. It has no AoE, and we don't need to stun single mob almost ever.
If you plan to play PvP, you can put excess points into stone shot and pray it actually stuns. (CC resistance is very prevalent)
Rapid fire Lv1 - This skill is really only used for the debuff it provides. The attributes text is misleading, and the duration of the debuff is actually 9 seconds, so there is some time to inch in some damage skills. Although since we will spend most of our time in bazooka mode, this skill will be hard to cast and only really serve as a debuff for your fellow physical party members while you reposition.
Teardown Lv1 - PvP skill to remove dievderby statues. Extremely poor outside of that one use.
Running shot Lv5 - The biggest reason we pick quarrel shooter. Running shot enhances the autoattack damage while you're in bazooka mode from rather low DPS, to a great filler while our skills are on cooldown. The total damage of your autoattacks during bazooka just about doubles. Running shot is also useful during leveling to apply extra hits of blessing, and to keep mobility while grinding.
Appraiser:
"Overestimate the class." much like Quarrel Shooter, we only really pick this class for a single skill, We use overestimate to enhance our cannons enhance level by +3, letting you hit the crucial +11/+16/+21 bonuses easier. While the other skills of appraiser are useful, they're not able to be used during bazooka mode, making it hard to utilise for our build
Rank 6 is also arguably a free pick. While overestimate is nice, and makes it easier to meet one of the required bonuses, it can easily be replaced for another choice like falconer for the circling debuff or an extra circle in one of the rank3-4 classes if you so prefer. I would suggest appraiser if you don't have a specific plan for rank6 and are willing to stomach the unlock quest.
Identify Lv0 or Lv5 - If you want to use the Identify shop, we can max this skill. If you don't want to be a vendor, the points can be put into maxing Devaluation instead.
Overstimate Lv3 - Capped at lv3, adds +3 enhance to your offhand weapon for the buff duration. We use this skill to let us hit the enhance bonuses 3 enhances earlier than usual. The enhancement bonuses are placed at +11/+16/+21, so when we enhance, we want at least 8/13/18 on our enhance.
Can also give +4 enhance when combined with divine might.
Forgery Lv0 or 2 - Point dump if you opt to not max identify, I have never used this skill myself, and its probably too clunky and low impact to be used in general content.
Blindside Lv5 - A decent damage skill, and the debuff increases your minimum crit chance. A nice support debuff when repositioning like rapid fire, although it will be hard to take advantage of yourself.
Devaluation Lv2 or Lv5 - Used in PvP to nullify enhance/transcendance of your opponent, making their attack and defense significantly weaker. This is your tool to fight the more well-funded players you might meet in PvP.
The debuff is okay in PvE, but unfortunately halved versus bosses, which is where this skill would shine.
Cannoneer:
This is where all your actual damage skills come from, and the class in general this guide is focused on. This class is naturally very immobile both from long post-cast animations and of course the deployment skill Bazooka. Cannoneer doesn't have a lot of skill, but their skill hit hard, and with moderately low cooldown except for Sweeping cannon.
Cannon shot Lv15 - Your bread and butter damage skill. Deals decent damage on a low cooldown, and when you hit Cannoneer C3, the triple hit attribute makes this skill deal twice as much damage is it usually did.
This is the skill we max last on Rank9, since getting the last final class levels can take some time, and each point invested doesn't have a huge impact from the last one.
Deals significantly decreased damage to flying monsters (25%)
Shootdown Lv1 - This skill works like Cannon shot, but deals damage to flying mobs instead of ground type mobs. Since ground mobs are way more prevalent than flying monsters, we favor Cannon shot over this skill.
Shootdown also has an attribute that lets Cannon shot deal more damage while they're debuffed, but the triple hit attribute still won't apply to flying monsters, even when they're affected by Shootdowns debuff.
Deals significantly decreased damage to ground monsters (25%)
Siege burst Lv1 - This skill has lots of potential, but it has a knockdown as powerful as earthquake, and there's no way to remove it. Therefore this gets delegated to be a 1-point wonder for either keeping monsters off yourself during bazooka mode, or for breaking the occasional magic circle you might see (Solmiki 27F)
Cannon blast Lv1 - The glory days of this skill is over. The triple hit attribute of Cannon shot means that it wins out over Cannon Blast in pure damage and even has a lower cooldown to boot. But that doesn't mean that this skill is useless. This skill is a decent filler when your other skills on cooldown, or you can attempt to take advantage of its 3 second armorbreak attribute, but since this skill has a large post-cast delay, it will be hard to take fully advantage of the armorbreak.
Cannon Barrage Lv10 - Your second bread and butter DPS/Burst skill. This skill is very similar to how Cannon shot functions, but deals 3 true multihits instead of 3 "fake" multihits, although this doesn't make much difference now. This skill is good for bursting, since you can pop out 2 barrages during a glass mole before it goes on cooldown.
Smoke grenade Lv2 - Good old damage debuff aoe skill. We use this skill right before casting our burst combo to maximise our burst damage. And since Cannoneers damage is extremely bursty, we can get away with only putting 2 point in here to be combined with the burst combo.
This skill doesn't affect bosses or flying monsters.
The skill innately increases cannon damage by 30%, while the attribute boosts it by an additional 50% for a total boost of 80%. Very powerful, and should be used as often as possible.
Bazooka Lv10 - +100% damage? Yes please. This skill sacrifices your ability to move for doubled damage on all your Cannoneer skills. And since we don't have any significant damage skills except for within Cannoneer itself, the loss of casting other damage skills doesnt affect us that much.
Bazooka also lets you deal Area of Effect autoattacks with your cannon instead of your single target attacks with crossbow, so you dont have to invest in a crossbow seperate from your cannon, significantly cutting down the weapon costs. Running shot doubles the damage of your autoattacks during Bazooka, so its a great boost to the autoattacks we fill inbetween skill casts, which is very often. Getting heal tiles is a pain in the ass though, unless the cleric babysits you.
Bazooka also doubles your Cannoneer skills innate AoE ratio, which helps a ton because Cannon shot, Shootdown and Cannonbarrage all have very low AoE ratio initially.
This skill is hard to use in places where you move a lot, such as dungeons, but in places like Solmiki or challenge mode, you can sit in the same spot throughout the entire floor/run and just pump out damage.
Sweeping Cannon Lv5 - The primary nuke of Cannoneer. Deals a huge burst of damage in a HUGE box in front of you. With enough investment, this skill can easily hit damage cap, and wipe all monsters that move in front of you.
Has a slight delay before the skill casts.
Cannoneer Special/Hidden Interactions:
Small or big, Cannoneer can benefit from having specific members in their party to help them either survive, or deal damage more efficiently
Kino C2:
Heavy gravity turns all mobs into ground type mobs, allowing your cannon shot to deal its full damage to all mobs regardless of type. Can be useful in areas such as Sauyus Room 9 with its mix of ground and type monsters.
Taoist C2:
Upper level can allow your smoke grenade to hit flying mobs as well, which can also be useful in Sauyus Room 9, but Taoist C2 isn't very widespread.
Runecaster:
This is a pretty nice one, Rune of Giants still allows you to cast Bazooka. And while you're in bazooka stance, You can still cast cannoneer skills, It even lets you cast buffs like overestimate, even though you're in bazooka mode.
This is useful for the increased defensive stats and also for letting you cast buffs without having to cancel bazooka.
(It also looks hilarious so that's another plus)
Runecaster if combined with linker also provides you with Rune of Protection. While most of the time you will be protected from knockback by Gazing Golem card, it adds a little extra insurance.
Linker:
If you opted for QS3 then Spritual chain lets you share running shot with the entire party, autoattack focused builds that aren't based on archer will love this.
If you have any questions you can leave them in the comment section or PM me on discord at Fenatte#8040 for a faster response and i'll try to get to your question asap.

Do keep in mind that cloaking only goes on cooldown after the buff ends in Team Battle League.
Other classes you can pick up for PvP are sapper1 to detonate traps, although siege burst mostly fills this function, or you can pick up rogue c1 to capture your opponents raise/safety zone. But if you pick up scout1 for rank5 the build should do fine in PvP.
