Conniving Cannoneer

Conniving Cannoneer

The Conniving Cannoneer is a ship that was added as a part of the Season 1 battle pass, along with Mutineers, Blunderbuster, Pirate Thief, Cartographer, and Skull Cove.

Ability

The Conniving Cannoneer has a cooldown of 5 and is in the shape of a cross. It attacks in a cross shape, however also hits a random occupied tile on your side.

Unlocking

During Season 1, the Conniving cannoneer could be unlocked by reaching a level which contained it as a reward. However after the season ended, Conniving cannoneer is now one of the ships in the daily Shop rotation, and can be bought for 25000 Gold (18000 with Battle Club).

Strategies

Connving cannoneer works well as an attacking ship, as it attacks 5 tiles with a low cooldown, at the expense of losing one of your own ships. Taking advantage of the self recoiling hit, using a skull cove isn't an unreasonable strategy, however it is heavily rng driven combo so use at your own risk.
