In the end of the day these tower troops are gonna be deck dependent, if you’re running a deck with cheap swarm killers or even swarms then the cannoneer isn’t all that bad since you won’t worry about other swarms too much, but you’re running a more “tanky” deck then the cannoneer isn’t a good choice since it can’t kill swarmy cards.

I think that the only way to make the cannoneer viable is to give it splash dmg or increased health, because if someone uses a spawner deck then you're basically screwed, you can't do anything about it unless u pair it up with bomb tower and log. But i also think it was smart of supercell to make it less overpowering so that they can buff it accordingly.

[@AirConsGaming]

[@52298datoyo]

I think it would be interesting to put something like this: slightly more range to be able to just negate princesses and dart goblins, and shoots twice as fast with 40% damage when troops come close It would create an interesting kite mechanic where you want to keep tanky units away from the tower to maximize dps, but swarmy units close to clear them fast, but not as fast as the princess tower

[@tanghuluasdf]

I often think about some kind of 'Mother witch tower', which does significantly less damage and applies curse only at the third shot it does. For now, the way to get better elixir trades are just utilizing the arena tower and making proper counter-pushes with your remaining units. The hogs would make for a nice counter-push value, and also better swarm defense by the hogs tanking and drawing aggro. The downsides are obvious. Low damage would make it vulnerable to larger tanks, and all defensive interactions would be slower and riskier. The user may utilize their units to maximum to get extra value the normal tower cannot offer, which I think is a nice addition. Fix: some typo errors.
