3Cannon
Clash Royale card guide
3 elixirCommonBuildingDefensive buildingEvolution
Cannon is a cheap, sturdy defensive building. It pulls ground troops, especially building-targeting cards, and protects your towers.
How to play
Place Cannon in the middle of the lane, close to between your two towers; Hog Rider, Giant, Royal Hogs and similar cards turn to it while your towers shoot them. In fast cycle decks it's the cheapest way to defend Hog Rider.
Tips
- Place it just before a building-targeting card crosses the bridge to distract it for as long as possible.
- Put it near the center so it's in range of both towers.
- It can't hit air, so it's useless against Balloon and Lava Hound.
Strengths
- Cheap and pulls building-targeting cards efficiently.
- Reliable against fast win conditions like Hog Rider.
Weaknesses
- Can't hit air troops.
- Spells like Earthquake and Lightning destroy it easily.
