Cannoneer

[trail parcel]

Any advise on what to focus on next? Only can solo till normal hilda

[sullen nexus]

No shot you can only solo up to NHilla -- is that with buffs?

are your nodes maxxed?

[trail parcel]

I didn't know what to do with nodes or my skill rotation honestly

[sullen nexus]

ah okay, i'll leave the cannoneer optimization to the pros but def work on your nodes they will give u a big boost in damage

focus in maxing your perfect trios, and v1 for burst too

[trail parcel]

Not planning to cap or anything. I just want to be able to join root abyss and Magnus?

[sullen nexus]

you definitely have the gear too, i think nodes are holding you back

i am doing lotus with mythic emblem weapon, but maxxed nodes (hayato)

[trail parcel]

And when I tested in the panda testing damage area. Why do I feel the long aoe is same damage as the single target cannon barrage haha

So I don't use the cannon barrage single target in bossing when in theory it should be the bossing skill?

[trail parcel]

What's the fastest way to max node? Just buy all the nodestone in trade station?

[sullen nexus]

if you are down to spend i bought path of proof

if you can get to max level it gives you quite a lot of exp nodes

use green exp nodes for your vskills, then open nodes for your trios

[trail parcel]

@uneven sentinel I saw the pin post for the nodes. But can't tell the skills in the perfect trio clearly.
Is it focusing on the cannon barrage, monkey and the monkey fury?
Do we not up the long aoe cannon bazooka?

[uneven sentinel]

Bazooka for farming, barrage for bossing

Here are the priority nodes written out instead of pictures @trail parcel

Actually priority might change with new patch tbh, monkey fury might become must have. But order rn is definitely:
cannon barrage > rolling rainbow > monkey militia > monkey fury > barrel roulette > anchor

And if you want even more DPS replace v2 (mortar) with v3 (monkey business)

And banner with loaded dice

Wait jk replace rope lift with v3 . For farming v3 > v2 as well

[trail parcel]

Thank you so much for the detailed info!
I never used monkey fury or the summon monkey before actually haha. I should really find out how to optimise the skill usage and nodes.
When I look at other jobs equipment, a simple mythic weapon can solo the higher end boss while I'm stuck at normal hilla

[storm abyss]

I was having trouble calling now it’s even farther away tbh

Glad to see cannoneer got a buff

Only big whales see the potential of cannoneer

Im having trouble soloing hmag with decent gear 😆

[storm abyss]

do you think mortar is a must have now?

Mines went from 2% to 3%

But I don’t have it on my matrix

[sullen nexus]

can anyone share their AB wheel

or is it just that this class needs pet

been abing without pets and my cannoneer cant even survive 147 lol, am post 200

[uneven sentinel]

Ya if you have the slots for it definitely a must have alongside monkey militia

But barrage/rainbow/militia are still higher DPS so those should take priority

[woeful finch]

I’m going to tweak my synergy/legion characters for the idea stats. Should I focus more on crit dmg or boss dmg for legion assuming I have the option to choose for synergy skills.

[uneven sentinel]

idk what synergy skills are

but should definitely try for a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio on BA:CD

[trail parcel]

Any tips to get better success rate for necro? Currently using this cannon but I kept seeing Necro is way better even if I chaos this which I can't even farm the material for it.
Any idea about the pricing for this cannon? Asia 2 scania

[old palm]

Its good job or dead class?

[carmine crane]

Good job but it's a dead class😅

[old palm]

😦

[thorn mortar]

anyone know optimal passive hyper skills?

[hybrid wyvern]

Did I miss anything? 🙈 my bad ya’ll on hiatus with the game. I’ll be out for a while.

[rain trail]

hi can i know which V skills requires pet buff i have yet to have a 5th job cm so im just wondering if anymore can help me out

[rain trail]

@trail parcel hi sry tag could u help me out here

[rain trail]

[blazing ravine]

Any skill wheel pre 200?

[rain trail]

cannon bazooka, anchors, monkey mili, naut strike, rolling rainbow

[blazing ravine]

Ty

[rain trail]

np!

[uneven sentinel]

None except the common skills (loaded dice, overdrive, goddess blessing)

[rain trail]

Thank you!

[charred pivot]

Am I looking for cd on all gears or some armor should be boss dmg ?

[uneven sentinel]

Ideally mostly CD but some BA is totally fine

[carmine crane]

My ratio is 5:3 CD/BA.
It's good ratio? @uneven sentinel

[uneven sentinel]

Yup!

[wintry parrot]

llama with the gym pic ok

questions, do we put hyper skill in militia?

[tall finch]

Is this still work?

And whats for our hyper skills?👀

ALSO how will I go with training nodes, same as what was stated afterward? appreciate the info and help

[uneven sentinel]

Yes but not the duration one

[uneven sentinel]

Yup, barrage/rainbow/monkey militia/monkeyfurymortar/barrel roulette/anchor in that order

[uneven sentinel]

Training nodes would be bazooka, militia, anchor, and rainbow/nautilus optional (they are really strong with or without nodes)

[tall finch]

I forgot to ask, but what did you do for Hyper skill stats? I saw an example but they said it was specific for that one boss

Appreciate the info boss

[uneven sentinel]

I did monkey militia extra hit/extra monkey, barrage extra hit/FD, and bazooka extra target

If not capping should probably do barrage CD, unless you prefer farming then do bazooka

[tall finch]

Wait -40 fd tho??

Breh why is that word censored

[uneven sentinel]

Ye it's worth haha

Which word?

[tall finch]

Technically its -20 FD but… eh

[tall finch]

What the ‘xxxx’

[uneven sentinel]

I don't see anything censored

[tall finch]

I had to delete it, type it.

Type the 3 letter acronym for it

[uneven sentinel]

I'm so lost

[vital plaza]

This could also be censoring setting set up by Kang.

[tall finch]

[unreal wraith]

About to hit 200 on my cannoneer can someone help with an ab and bossing skill wheel

[glass harbor]

Considering rerolling to cannoneer, what say you Cannoneer mains?

[old palm]

The best way for rr its first use the job in lvl 200 xd then if u like go and rr , not rr ln base of coments

[tall finch]

Hey @uneven sentinel

May i see your pre set skills for bossing/training

Nvd found it

[wintry parrot]

who is better dps, cannoneer or corsair? 🧐

[tall finch]

Had me scared first half of the nodes, literally none. Second half got all of em

[uneven sentinel]

Grats bro! Wait you're missing monkey militia instead of barrel roulette/monkey mortar tho

This is your farming skill wheel right?

Also I would use ropelift instead of v2 there, v2 makes you stay in the same spot for 7 seconds it's kinda wack lol

[tall finch]

Yea, these are my bossing trio

Yea, v2 makes us stand there xd

[tall finch]

You staying a Cannonner? Or you rr with event?

[storm abyss]

CANNONEER GANG

[tall finch]

I was low-key disappointed by the ‘size’ of our v1(?) cannon destruction skill

I thought itd take up the whole screen

Cannoneer 4 lyfe

[flat silo]

Hi all, new msm player here, planning to hyper burn a cannoneer. But currently can only afford full unique sf18 gears, is this class hp pot consuming in sf144/147 with such setup? Also mind to share some details about the late game potential of this class as well?

[hybrid wyvern]

It’s easy to lvl to 200 now with the hyper burning pots shouldn’t be much of a problem really.

It’s also hard to say potential of any class in general. All class have the potential to be great depending on your gears.

I’d suggest go with the play style you enjoy playing the most. I don’t know what you look for in character or your preference of play style.

[hybrid wyvern]

Credit card or money dictates who does more dmg lol. Not everyone is going to have the same level of equipments, hence the variability in dmg output for each class or even for every same class.

[hybrid wyvern]

That’s 6th job skill. Being released January 2026.

[hybrid wyvern]

I would agree! I just got back playing after a long hiatus haha

[pastel atlas]

Omg u back?!

[hybrid wyvern]

For a bit ha.

[uneven sentinel]

welcome back 😄

Just in time for new buffs:

[hybrid wyvern]

Ooo dang nice! We steam rolling. I noticed the difference lol

[uneven sentinel]

No these are coming soon LOL kmsm just got them

probably feeling the maxcap buffs from earlier patches

[hybrid wyvern]

Oo yeah I jumped like crazy mdc.

Dang 27 hits to 128 hits for nuclear

And finally some iframe at least with that nautilus whale skill. I’ll take any cause we lacking ha

[uneven sentinel]

yeaaa but that's only once and doesnt have buckshot applied 😢

still good though

[uneven sentinel]

yeah that's a really nice change, looking forward to adding back nautilus to my bossing wheel

[hybrid wyvern]

Period ha. Cross fingers 6th job gives cannoneer more survival utilities apart from our high jump. Maybe some heal or something

[hybrid wyvern]

Probably why they increased it. Hopefully the polluted hit count increases too on top of the initial cast.

[uneven sentinel]

yeaaah the v4 is barely a heal, so hard to time i barely even notice it haha

6th job should give everybody an iframe though 🙂

[hybrid wyvern]

They should change it to per hit heal not one time!

[uneven sentinel]

Agreed!

[lunar coral]

Back shot when….

[lunar coral]

future update

i mean a long future ahead lol

[uneven sentinel]

Hahaha oh I see

[uneven sentinel]

I can't really see the difference with the first one but the second one is cool

[charred horizon]

cannoneer good with the update?

[uneven sentinel]

not much difference

except good damage increase on v3 now

[thin crown]

Yeah I was hoping to see buffs so I could start one and was disappointed. I wonder what data they're even buffing based on, because some popular classes just got free buffs

[hybrid wyvern]

Always good and always will 😄

[pastel atlas]

I’m looking for 2 min line count along with battle analysis results. Please let me know your best number!

[hybrid wyvern]

Ooo what’s this for?

[pastel atlas]

Just compiling a table to see how classes are doing post patch

[charred horizon]

what hyper passive did you guys get?

[uneven sentinel]

1b pls n ty

[hybrid wyvern]

We cannoneers are secretive of our hidden powers. 😄

[uneven sentinel]

Ya I don't wanna tell the world how op we are

[vital plaza]

too late

im lurking

[unreal wraith]

Hey y’all just hit 200 and I’m looking for skill priority on v skills

[old palm]

Its bad class rigth now ? No videos in yt or ots only dead clas?

[uneven sentinel]

nah it's an awesome class

[fast slate]

Oh

[hybrid wyvern]

To each their own! Whatever your preference is will be the best class. Credit cards dictate how strong one class is.

[fast slate]

And your insanity, time

Etc

[vital plaza]

im a huge fan!

[desert current]

Hello all~ i am working on this class, was wondering what hyper skills should i add

[tawdry radish]

Hello! I also need advice which vskills to max first? I don't know which is v1 v2 etc, what are the skill names? Thanks

[uneven sentinel]

All vskills are listed in order from left to right in the "craft" menu

So V1 will be top left, then V2,v3,v4,etc.

But definitely max V1 first then v3 then v4 then v2

V1 = cannon of mass destruction

[tawdry radish]

Thanks for clarifying this!

[tawdry radish]

yo, cannoneer kinda cracked. cleared ark with my lv207 alt

[rain trail]

Hows ur gear?

[tawdry radish]

This is the gear I used. 750k cp in the first pic was because of DS4

Cannoneer even clears ark faster than my lv214 Demon Avenger

[rain trail]

Bro

U have abso

[tawdry radish]

Didn't know this class would be good or even playable tho, didn't have any expectations. It's a dead class in my server. Already got Mu Lung medal lol.

Still this class feels better to play than my DA with necro weapon and 110k hp. Faster cooldowns and iframes every 30 seconds

[uneven sentinel]

Bro has an abso on a lv207 before my lv255 main

Grats @tawdry radish you chose to main the best class in maple

[rain trail]

Gg

But cm very expensive class no?

Cuz of buckshot

[uneven sentinel]

Hmmm ya it can be, you'll just need to beef up your stats more vs chasing just cap

[trail nebula]

Any guide for cannoneer’s nodes and skill wheel? Planning to make this my second main🤩

[rain trail]

Skill wheel idk

I don’t have this class in my acc

[fast slate]

Very good sf144 slave since forgotten

[fast slate]

Also this class hit hards on some bosses

[fast slate]

Welcome back

[tawdry radish]

cleared lotus!

archon too 🙂

Arcane Symbol buff helped a lot this patch

[uneven sentinel]

Grats!

[storm abyss]

how are you enjoying v6 ?

i am 2 lvls away.. the struggle ..

[uneven sentinel]

Enjoying it a lot

It's very good especially with split

[storm abyss]

can i see ur latest bossing dmg chart? 👀

[uneven sentinel]

Sure which boss?

[storm abyss]

will n gloom 🙂

[uneven sentinel]

Oops that was vhilla

[uneven sentinel]

Will Wednesday/thursday

Gloom (cleared in like 2 minutes )

[carmine crane]

How you guys gonna up upgrade hexa skill / stats? In what order should I go for?

[tawdry radish]

Any tips for solo Will mechanics? I don't understand what's going on in the second phase with his true form

[uneven sentinel]

The hexa for barrage is kinda trash, it only increases our target count

And all our hexa vskills are just +FD

So defs wanna save up for hexa stat instead, since it can give MDC & IED

[uneven sentinel]

No idea man, check out some YouTube videos, there's a set pattern to follow, I just do team will so I haven't memorized it

[carmine crane]

Already have it
Will save for stats now, thanks🙏

[uneven sentinel]

I mean I guess it's alright for vhilla and gloom but that's pretty much it (I guess clucid when the mobs spawn too)

But for farming you'll still wanna use bazooka

[storm abyss]

holy 8110 lines off v6

[storm abyss]

whats ur cap btw? i wonder if you do more dmg without buckshot never tested it but i doubt it.. im 80mdc but only hit 50max cause of buckshot im assuming?

Am I capping ?

prob not if i were to guess?

[uneven sentinel]

Definitely not. Buckshot is cracked hahaha. Multiplies your line output by 2.1. technically yes you will hit higher cap without buckshot but way less lines

I'm at 130m cap so 130m x 0.7 = 91m so no don't think I'm capping on everything

[uneven sentinel]

If you're at 80m x 0.7 = 56m so I think you're pretty close to capping too

[south wedge]

Screw trying to cap on this class 😂

[storm abyss]

Haha thanks but yea I see your v2 n v4 at your mdc so I def need some more work

[chilly vine]

New Cannoneer 6th job skill is honestly overwhelming and outstanding

[vast mica]

is this a dead job ? never see any good weapon selling in ts for him

[rain trail]

yes

[uneven sentinel]

Dead but op

[vast mica]

🤔

[blissful prawn]

I know you got an extra necro hand cannon sell me one

[blissful prawn]

@uneven sentinel Can i see your AB and bossing wheel kind sir and or ma'am

[blissful prawn]

and presets ^

[uneven sentinel]

Ye when I get home in a bit

Why did @north spade delete his post

[blissful prawn]

cool thanks. and idk lol maybe he's looking for the same thing too and saw we posted at the same time

[uneven sentinel]

How much for a lvl50 cannon?

[blissful prawn]

I ended up getting one from my buddy he made one for me for 7b

@uneven sentinel

WHERE THAT WHEEL AND PRESETS FOR FARMING AND BOSSING AT

[uneven sentinel]

Omg LOOOL sorry crazy few days one sec

Honestly for farming I just throw every aoe skill in there lol. With double bazooka/nautilus (spaced out) cause those are the best to cast as often as possible, and the rest are summon you always want to have up.

[blissful prawn]

this your farming setup?

What do you do for bossing?

@uneven sentinel

[blissful prawn]

What skill is that next to will skill

[uneven sentinel]

And for bossing it's obviously up to personal preference but this is my rationale.

PAGE 1:

top middle P1 preset you have your summons (summon where boss spawns before fight begins), also nice they both have 30s cd, but only summon anchor if there's downtime (i.e. if boss is invul) otherwise only militia worth it dps-wise
top right P2 preset you have your auto damaging dot abilities/vskills that follow you around/do damage around you. V4 before boss is summoned since no penalty for casting that early and won't use up charges before boss spawns (and is like 45s long to do 20 hits, which is finished in like 15-20s). THEN V3 as soon as boss spawns since that one is 30s long and starts dps as soon as it's casted. And THEN will skill since that one does a little extra DMG on first hit. And also nice that V3/V4 both have 60s cd while will skill has 120s cd).
Top left is nautilus/your mini i-frame. Easy to click in case of trouble, not much else to say.
Middle left is next with rainbow hyper. Not much to say except just make sure you're facing the right way. Which is why I placed it next to V1 since that also requires you to be facing the right way.
Middle middle is V1, your most important skill to cast correctly. Hence its in the centre lol. One of the best bursts in the game when you summon all 3. Make sure you don't die during otherwise they disappear, which is why it's next to your long iframe.
Middle right, you got your nice long iframe. Multi-use, can be used defensively or offensively. Use it either right before or right after casting V1 (depending on boss).
Bottom left I have the P3 preset which is just main skill + main debuff.
And lastly bottom right for mobility we have the backstep in case you run into trouble.

PAGE 2:
Probably need to workshop this since I haven't touched this since the new "buff preset thing" in the hexa patch. But essentially you have the party buffs right in the centre (top middle), which you wanna cast every 2 minutes. And top left and middle middle you have overload and the goddess buff, which are very important to cast during your bursts. I manual them cause I wanna make sure I use em when my 3 charges of rockets are up. Or overload whenever V3/V4 are up (if V1 charges are still charging). Then stun/blink/origin self explanatory.

If I were to change this I would probably place the buffs in a preset (thank God for more slots) and have them both in the middle-middle for easier clicking when switching pages and clicking middle-middle again, or something like that.

Anyways so for most bosses you would go:
Page2 > banner > Page1 > P1 preset summons > P2 preset first skill (V4) > Page 2 > buffs preset right before boss summons > Page1 > remaining P2 preset (V3/will skill) as soon as boss summons > normal attack with P3 to trigger ds4/boss debuff > V2 as soon as ds4 is triggered > launch all three V1 cannons > rainbow hyper > Page2 > origin skill.

Badabing badaboom.

Very doable in the 5-10 seconds most bosses take to spawn. Some people say you should be launching V1 cannons BEFORE the boss spawns from far away (which honestly I sometimes do, for easier bosses at least), but I think there's too much RNG involved and you gotta get the timing right and it's easy to miss. But again this is all personal preference this is just what I find works best and simplest, with not too much page switching throughout the boss run :).

@north spade

[uneven sentinel]

Erda shower. Good for hitting platforms above you since bazooka can't reach vertically high

Also worth mentioning if it's a short boss fight and you wanna flex on people just cast all your summons/dot skills (militia/anchor/V4/V3/will skill) on top of boss before it spawns, same with rainbow and your V1s, and then V2 as soon as boss spawns and then origin

[blissful prawn]

My bad to the right of will skill shoulda been more specific

And thanks for the details

[uneven sentinel]

That's your origin brah

[blissful prawn]

I haven’t hit 250 my bad

[vast mica]

does cannoner has lifesteal when lvl 200 ?

[uneven sentinel]

Nope

[vast mica]

oh i saw a info list that cannoneer has 20% life recovery something

[uneven sentinel]

Hmmm the closest thing you might be thinking of is Poolmaker (v4)

50% party HP recovery once at the start and once at the end of the buff

But that's not "lifesteal" in the traditional sense of the word haha

[vast mica]

Yaya this one haha , thanks ya !

Is the hyper stats 46789?

[uneven sentinel]

Hmm I do 1 3 5 7 9

Don't really need 4/6 if your weapon/stats are good

And same with 8, I rather farm faster with 5 instead of +20% CD on main skill

[vast mica]

is militia important ? AB they only hit 1 target , is it for bossing ?

[uneven sentinel]

Yeah mostly for bossing

[past bolt]

@uneven sentinel can u post more cannoneer videos? Ur latest vid was 2 yrs ago …

[smoky solstice]

just started playing cannon, tried bazooka vs barrage on fog forest. how come bazooka outdamages barrage so much?

[past bolt]

Thats not true, barrage does way more. Have u lvled ur hexa skill?

[smoky solstice]

oh no im pre 200, just started this class hahaha

[past bolt]

Cannoneer won’t dissapoint u haha, keep grinding!!

[smoky solstice]

im a cannon main on pc back then, cheers!

[past bolt]

https://youtu.be/P-mcgmzC_EI?si=FOUiu_O-HscNzFIp

pretty sick

[vast mica]

super sleepy while watching this lol

[past bolt]

why haha

[static geyser]

@uneven sentinel what if Cannoneer get a forward dash movement skill?

[uneven sentinel]

Hmmmmm idk cannoneer is more of a mid-long range fighter (especially with the new hexa barrage the range is huge!)

No real reason to get close to the boss (unless you're aggro) and use a forward dash

I think if you run into trouble I would much rather have an upjump button you can press like Lynn's

[smoky solstice]

may i know what is the skill % for hexa cannon barrage?

[past bolt]

261% at lvl 7 hexa

[uneven sentinel]

Are you leveling cannon barrage or v1 first? 😮

[past bolt]

I do in order:
origin lvl 10
V1 lvl 5 (cuz i cap at this point alrdy)
V3 lvl 5 (cuz cap)
V4 lvl 5 (cuz cap)
Cannon barrage lvl 10 (currently at 8)

Then back to origin, aiming for 20

V2 idk why but i cap at lvl 1 so that is that …

[smoky solstice]

wow what is your cp

[uneven sentinel]

Niiiice. That's kinda the order I was thinking. V2 first hit has super high skill damage that's probably why haha

I wish cannon barrage gave something more than just skill DMG % haha

Like an extra hit woulda been nice

[past bolt]

48m only haha

[past bolt]

Thats why i lvled farming skill +1 instead 🤣
