Cannons come in many shapes and sizes and use a variety of ammunition.
Cannons need time to be fully reloaded, and this recharge time can be mitigated by skills. They can be fired only when the reload status is yellow or green. Firing while green grants an increase Critical Strike chance.
Cannon types range from close combat, long rage, and mortar. Players may have a combination of cannons on their ships.
