Card Info
Autocast: Every 2 seconds, tower launches a cannon ball that deals 140 / 145 / 160 / 167 damage to enemies in a 8m radius around its target, up to 210 / 220 / 240 / 250 in total. Knocks back small units. Affects ground targets only.Notes & Strategies
Despite being only second tier, the Cannon Tower is a powerful defensive structure, capable of putting out decent amounts of damage but most notable for its immense ability to tank, with a whopping 2000 base HP. When supported from other frost-oriented cards like 
Skyelf Templar, 
Kobold Trick, 
Glacier Shell, and 
Shield Building, this tower can become Extremely difficult to destroy.
For its strengths however, it has one glaring weakness: Inability to attack airborne targets. Without proper defense measures in play and synergy from archers or anti-air towers, the Cannon Tower is a sitting duck to any assault from the skies.
Campaign PvE
Maps that are defensive in their objectives, such as Siege of Hope and Defending Hope, are prime missions to use this tower. Other missions can also incorporate them as protection for your wells and monuments, such as in Sunbridge and Behind Enemy Lines.
On higher difficulties, expert particularly; the Cannon Tower can still be effective and useful so long as it is given proper support. Be wary however, that powerful enemy siege units like the 
Twilight Hulk and 
Stonekin Grinder will shred through this tower even with support, though it will certainly hold their attention for a time.
Cannon Towers should be paired alongside another tower with anti-air capability. Even a 
Defense Tower will aid in covering its greatest weakness. The 
Frost Crystal is a great asset for pure decks, while the 
Blaster Cannon, 
Primal Defender and 
Lifestealer can cover this for splash decks.
Random PvE
Despite the usefulness of combat towers being rather low in rPVE, they can still aid in protecting your monuments and wells from enemy attack waves on the higher difficulties, and will usually be a distraction to give you time to summon defenses. But otherwise the use of this card is rather redundant.
