Man, this video is as fantastic as I expected. The intro to a new segment is hype and well-done, it will go so well with premiere chat spamming wrong guesses to the next rank. I'm so glad he gave regular cannon the spot it deserves (my friends say it's horrible, and I disagree, so happy with #4) and honestly I feel more knowledged on how/when to use Cat Cannons now too. Thunderbolt does a fanatic job, and it's really fun to use too.
bro is not past midgame 💀tbolt is rarely used, hblast should def be at least #2 if not #1. also regular cannon should be 5 since iron wall has some relevant uses, and assassin bear is irrelevant even without regular cannon because of doron, boulder, glass, and even green shell to some extent
I have a way to “fix” the waterblast (more likely keep it exactly the same in usage but…). So a cool way imo to change it would be to first, make it function like the normal and holy blast where it fires a wave type thing instead of just hitting in a single area like breakerblast. Maybe this could come with a slight decrease in the damage to metals, but it was already pretty useless anyways so I think thats fine. Then, to add another niche thing just to fit to concept. What if it also removes any debuffs on cats as well? Because it’s water, it only makes sense. This makes the waterblast a teensy bit more versatile, at least better than the state it is now. Metal has been powercrept so much that I think this would be a fine change.
I can imagine waterblast shooting a jet of water from a hose on end to end for the fire type. Cleansing mechanic also seems really cool, but removing debuffs seems to be more like worse version of curse. Cleanse could do something like healing, we already have that mechanic coded in the game with cat god miracles.
@@XskullDrSkullFirst sentence is exactly what I thought it was gonna be, then I finally got it, went to Bionic Seaweed to test it, thought "I bet the animation is gonna be so cool" Then died of disappointment when it just did a little piddle on the enemies 😞
The one downside of the Holy Blast is forgetting you equipped it for a random Zombie level and proceeding to lose because ypu really needed that breakerblast Knockback.
Honestly, Holy blast's my #2, I don't even care about how limited it is, it is single handily the greatest counter to one of the game's strongest traits.
Surge cannon makes perfect sense. The enemies have normal and curse doge base cannons along with a surge cannon, it’s time for us to get a surge cannon.
That’s why I put them both as S Tier cannons. I definitely agree with your statement when it comes to one lineup challenges which is a part of why it’s my favorite.
4:26 I would argue that this could be comboed well with million-dollar cat because they have a guaranteed crit but they don't one shot so if you use the water cannon first, then million-dollar cat and then a little bit of DPS you can take out metal face, bear, or cyclone without having to rely on any luck at all
Here is an idea for a surge cannon, instead of rng like the doge surge base, you can hold down the fire button for the surge to farther down, and release when you want it to fire, this may distract your meat shielding, but this could be a great bore jr counter
@@crazycat482 what are you on? tbolt is pretty irrelevant after mid game. like legit only time i can think of it ever being used in a guide is in the old queen. ive seen slow cannon be used in so many stages its wierd. idk how xskull ranked it so low
One thing you forgot to mention is that some cannons affect zombie corpses as well, most notably HBlast and BBlast, the former of which allows ZKill snipes on enemies like Baron Peng and Daboo.
A single well-timed thunderbolt can be the difference in winning or losing the stage All the other cannons are good but non others have the same kind of impact on the battlefield as thunderbolt Great tier list btw, I agree with pretty much every placement :D
Slow Beam is hella underrated. As someone who finished the game by using slow beam 90% of the time I can say for a fact that a stagewide slow lasting so long is insanely good.
amazing video, would you concider making one for the decorations of the base (Foundation and Style) as well? At least for a guide on what to focus on upgrading first?
2:51 Water blast doesn't always deal 1 damage. It does 0.1% of the enemy's current health. Does this almost always equal one? Yes. BUT there is one really neat edge case with an enemy that has really high HP (so that 0.1% isn't just 1 damage) and a lot of knockbacks. 7's water blast clip against metafilibuster will always be one of if not my favorite battle cats strategies.
It also carries a well-prepared heaven's oasis burst, shiver junction, lady in the clink, and basically any winged pigge stage that isn't kosamin ruins
Kinda wish waterblast also applied something like a weaken effect on metals. It’s weird that holy blast gets to be the ultimate anti zombie tool while waterblast is the cannon you begrudgingly pick when sir metal seal magnification becomes too high Personally I would put Iron Wall over Slow Beam but besides that I agree with the list
Fun fact on littering coast i tried using cat cannon to clip maglev through and i failed so many times Then i checked the wiki and used it and won by just brute forcing it 😢

Style reduces the effects certain enemy debuffs or abilities (ex: Iron wall style reduces damage from enemy wave attacks) and foundations decrease damage from specific enemy traits (ex: curse cannon foundation reduces damage from relic enemies). Both style and foundation reductions go up to 15% respectively.
@@XskullDrSkullas a man with only cat base, due to being on my third save file due to stupidity, this was an amazing video to refresh me on the uses of the cannons too.
Very nice ranking, good idea to cover these cannons. Would have been a fun watch if I didn’t have to sit through 2 unskippable ads after every. single. cannon…
I have an idea to buff Curseblast. Replace the vanilla Curse debuff inflicted by the cannon, with an "enhanced" version of Curse, that disables more enemy abilities like Waves, Surges, Toxic, Crit/Savage. Also, Curseblast should also Weaken enemies as well. EDIT: I didn't realize Curse doesn't nullify enemy immunities. Let's change that with Curseblast's new & enhanced Curse effect.
They could also just pump up the duration of the curse for a really long time (talking like 30~50s) so that it makes it worth while to curse an enemy with the cannon.
Oh boy, I wonder who's in last place! It couldn't possibly be the hyper-niche one that only works on like three stages because of the inherent design of cannons! Edit: WHAT THE FUCK

It’s definitely one of the most important cannons to max.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long
Despite Iron Wall’s flaws and being overshadowed, it’s still a good early-game Cat-Cannon even when it’s only the third type.

Iron Wall is good against Akus, if you can't break their shields consistently enough to use Slow beam or T bolt or Breakerblast
True, though you can still use rock for a similar result.
The only units that I know counter assassin bear are bowser and rock, but both are a bit situational.
Both also can’t kill when Assassin bear is behind anything.

Replace the vanilla Curse debuff inflicted by the cannon, with an "enhanced" version of Curse, that disables more enemy abilities like Waves, Surges, Toxic, Crit/Savage.
Also, Curseblast should also Weaken enemies as well.

They could also just pump up the duration of the curse for a really long time (talking like 30~50s) so that it makes it worth while to curse an enemy with the cannon.

The reason I think Curseblast should Weaken is so that it can be used against stat-based enemies as well.
