To play the Dwarf cannon summoner build in Absolum, deploy stationary cannons near room edges or chokepoints, stagger your summon ability rotation to eliminate downtime, and focus on dodging incoming attacks while kiting enemies into your turrets' line of sight.
Core Upgrade Priorities
During a run, select upgrades that improve artillery uptime, damage scaling, and minion resilience so your automated weapons remain effective against high-health targets.
| Upgrade Focus | Primary Function | Combat Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Cooldown Reduction | Decreases ability downtime | Maintains continuous cannon and minion availability during long rooms |
| Projectile Volley | Increases fired projectiles per shot | Multiplies overall DPS against dense enemy waves and elite targets |
| Summon Durability | Extends summon health pools | Prevents turrets and minions from breaking quickly under enemy area attacks |
Positioning and Ability Rotation Sequence
- Establish defensive perimeters: Drop your main cannon near arena corners or narrow chokepoints instead of the center, protecting your artillery from wide boss strikes.
- Stagger deployment: Cast auxiliary summons while your main cannon ability is on cooldown to ensure continuous offensive pressure without damage gaps.
- Kite across target lanes: Use your dash to retreat when enemies close in, drawing aggressive targets directly back into active firing arcs.
- Refresh expired turrets: Replace destroyed or timed-out artillery immediately as cooldowns reset to keep crossfire active.
Managing Bosses and Playstyle Limits
- Mobile Bosses: Fast-moving bosses frequently leap out of cannon range. Do not wait for them to return on their own; actively position yourself so your retreat route pulls the boss back into your established kill zone.
- Bullet Hell and High-Density Rooms: When avoiding dense projectiles, focus your active inputs entirely on movement and survival. Let your stationary cannons handle target damage while you concentrate on dodging.
