Thread: The Trainee of the Cannoneer School event guide

great work zero. good guide again

I got a question. I got Zola at 50cc60 and -2up so i was wondering should i aim for Kanon or stay with Zola?

"My cannon has gone crazy! Please stop it from exploding...!" - Kanon while holding the cannon with an eight year old's body

Hmm, I knew there was a reason I liked her over on DMM.

A wonderful guide as always, thank you! And also thank you for clearing up Curse Users, I have never understood them for the longest time. Though they sound (and look) nice, I don't see them having much use over conventional units. I wonder if anyone can offer a hypothetical situation for their use?

Right now, I feel Zola with that much cost reduction is better. But you should still attempt to bring Kanon to serviceable state, as her skill awakening looks pretty interesting, and feature itself should be implemented any time soon (like, yesterday, actually )

Hmmm... err... maybe when you don't quite have enough ehp to block that mithril golem? Or your tank is facing three mid-bosses and isn't armored enough to take on them all / your healing is not enough to keep up? Something like that, probably...

Something along the lines of an assist boss killer? Hmm interesting, makes seem more appealing now. Probably late placement then to just help sweep. Would the assassination chance still be counted though? You mentioned how only non-assassin-able (new word?) units like Majin won't be affected by their skill, so I am wondering how the chance element works.

100% chance on all who are not outright immune, and are low enough on HP, AFAIK. DMM goers feel free to correct.

I'll put it bluntly - curse users are one of the least used units on DMM. The instakill does not work on high end bosses, they do not really pack a punch, and if you are able to bring a golem or similar to that low health anyways you're not really that great off with getting a curse user just to "finish off the last" as opposed to just having another good damage dealer to bring it down faster in the first case.

As for the attack reduction it is honestly not that impressive. She takes up a slot that can be used for other things and if you want to aim to get her to tank high level stuff you might as well pray you get a proper tank that can handle it instead.

All in all, they're too niche so no one really uses them.

Well...at least there pretty? I'll just add them along with Avengers as units too niche for proper use but have nice designs.

It's a shame really, there is a nice concept there but it needs some love.

Sadness, cause she looks great.
