Use Cannon Towers against groups of enemies, especially where the path brings them close together. Their area damage is suited to clustered waves, but their slow attacks may struggle to stop fast enemies. Pair them with another defense that can cover those targets.

Where to place a Cannon Tower

Place the tower near a bend or other narrow section of the path where multiple enemies can fall within its blast area. Avoid spending on a position where enemies are spread out: the tower’s group-damage advantage matters less when its shots hit only one target.

What to pair it with

Use a supporting tower or Barracks to help handle enemies that move too quickly for the Cannon Tower. If a hero can hold enemies in place, that can also help keep a group within the blast area. The available guidance does not specify which upgrades to buy, their costs, or exact placement rules for individual stages, so adapt the setup to the path and the enemies you face.
