    Having the speeder and shooter as my main choices, I've always loved the thought of the carronade, with its multiple shots and close range capabilities. And as a particularly close range speeder, this could be great for me. I have enough to buy it as a rare in the shop, but I don't want to waste 750k gold! Also, the upgrades for the carronade seem exceptionally great, such as giving it an extra shot, more damage, range, and the most interesting, the ability to slow others down. Can anybody help me out? Thanks :)

    Wait, is that really what happens if their defense is higher than the damage?

    It'll do 0 damage. The damage number won't even show up.

    No, haha. It's like when people say "Your punches are so weak they heal people".

    U r completely wrong. Carronade is very strong in late game. 7 bullets with 140 damage each which slow enemy as hell and have 5 sec cd can't be weak. Ofc its not so strong against defenders but there are another targets too. Take a look at Waveblowers videos for example :)

    Very good if you can charge anything but a defender and just start shooting like crazy defender would probably kill you.

    I like Cannonade -- But calling it very strong in the current late game is probably pushing it.

    Here's my recent recap of classes & weapons used by the Top 50.

    Range is the obvious weakness, but it can't be beat for one on one combat. Well if you're a speeder up against a shooter or defender anyway.
    Those situations have become quite rare in my battles though, almost every match is a total massacre one way or the other.
    It's a great one on a speeder for a quick hit and run with the turret slow on, or even on a shooter to slow down those speeders who like to run through you.
    It's a very situational weapon though, and it's lack of versatility shows in the numbers.
    Thanks for putting that one together @Kitterini .

    Hmm... I'm guessing that's with all the swift buffs for the carronade, right? Do you know how long the range is after getting all the buffs?

    Base = 6
    +4 from Swift.
    +2 from lvl 30 Buzzkill.
    +1 from lvl 30 Burnice.
    Total = 13.

    Almost at 7 projectiles!! It's not bad as a defensive weapon against yellow ships that come to close, but the problem is that swift's talents make you choose between maximum damage carronade vs base stats like speed. As a shooter I need all the speed I can get so my carronade isn't the best it can be. IMG_1475.PNG

    ...I just realized how bad the carronade is against defence/armor... :mad: Literally against the shooters and defenders I do no damage. Wasted 750k gold.
