About the Dark Cannon[]
The Dark Cannon is an object that can be summoned into an empty panel. When first summoned, a cursor will appear and the player will have 10 seconds to shoot as much as possible at any targets.
In-between turns, the Cannon will lock on to the closest unit(ally or enemy) and fire 5 shots at them.
Shots have infinite range, but they fly to the target in a straight line and can't pass through terrain. They cause splash damage, hitting other units next to a hit target. Shots will always do a minimum of 1 damage.
The range of the skill follows the same rules as Spells, growing with skill level and Staff Mastery. The level of the Dark Cannon(and consequently, its stats) is 1 + SkillLevel + StriderLevel/2. Increasing skill level also increases the time available to fire the Cannon when summoned.
Units killed by the Dark Cannon do not give any EXP, Mana or HL.
Quotes[]
“Striders have the ultimate power in a way, since they can control terrain. Most of the Netherworld's residents look down on them. They have a child-like curiosity and speak in a dialect unique to their underground cave villages. No one is as skilled in guns as they are.”
