First Look – Cannon Girls

First Look – Cannon Girls

th, 2019, Update 4.2.0 was released! On top of getting stuff like the ability to test out your own arena defense, we also got two new monsters – the Sniper Mk. Is and the Cannon Girls! Today, we’re going to be looking at the second of the new families: the Cannon Girls! This is going to be a two-part article; the previous covered my first looks on the Snipers.

Scarlett (Fire) [Attack]

We’ll start with the fire Cannon Girl, Scarlett. Fun fact: did you know that if I ever got a dupe Charlotte, I would name her Scarlett? Fire!: Attacks the enemy 3 times. Each attack has a 30% chance to decrease the Attack Bar by 30%. Oh, this is like Loren’s first skill, except the passive of the attack bar decrease is built in. Seems pretty decent. Wild Shot!: Attacks random enemies 8 times. Each attack has a 50% chance to weaken their Defense for 2 turns. (Reusable in 4 turns) …Wow. That’s a lotta hits, especially for a second skill. Can you imagine using any of the Wild Shot Cannon Girls in NB10? They’d be, like, the perfect shield breakers! A Cannon Girl plus a pair of twins sounds really OP. Fatal Mortar Bullet (Awakened): Attacks the enemy with a cannon gun and destroys the target’s MAX HP by 50% of the inflicted damage. Afterwards, inflicts damage on all enemies and blocks beneficial effects for 1 turn with a 50% chance each. (Reusable in 5 turns) Oooooh! This third skill seems pretty good. HP destroy is fun, and an AoE buff block that isn’t just a buff block skill (like Nisha) is always nice. Granted, I can see Scarlett being the weakest of the “Fatal XYZ Bullet” Cannon Girls, sadly, but she still does look really good.

Abigail (Water) [Attack]

Fire!: Attacks the enemy 3 times. Each attack has a 30% chance to decrease the Attack Bar by 30%. Same first skill. Wild Shot!: Attacks random enemies 8 times. Each attack has a 50% chance to weaken their Defense for 2 turns. (Reusable in 4 turns) Also the same second skill. Fatal Extinctive Bullet (Awakened): Attacks the enemy with a cannon gun and removes all beneficial effects granted on the target. Afterwards, inflicts damage on all enemies and decreases their Attack Bar by 50%. (Reusable in 5 turns) Oooh! Abigail looks like she could be used in, say, DB10. I mean, she’s water element, got the buff removal, plus she has 50% Attack Bar decrease on this skill alone. I dunno how well Wild Shot would work out with the boss and his crystals, though.

Christina (Wind) [Attack]

The Cannon Girls are the first family to have an elemental nat5 in the family of nat4s! There are two nat5s in this normally nat4 family – wind and dark. Christina is the wind nat5. Fire!: Attacks the enemy 3 times. Each attack has a 30% chance to decrease the Attack Bar by 30%. Same first skill, move along. Focused 5 Shots: Attacks the enemy 5 times. Each attack has a 50% chance to inflict continuous damage for 1 turn. (Reusable in 4 turns) Here’s a new second skill: Focused 5 Shots. This one only attacks one enemy and not randomly chosen enemies. However, it doesn’t have the defense break; instead 5 DoTs. This one feels the inferior skill: less hits, which means less debuffs (and these debuffs linger for less time as well) Coy Revenge (Passive): Increases the damage to be dealt to an enemy on the next turn by 15% each time you’re attacked. This effect accumulates up to 5 times and resets whenever you’re turn ends. [Automatic Effect] Okay, here’s the main gimmick of the nat5 cannon girls. They have a passive, but they also have a fourth skill as well. This is Christina’s passive. It’s kind of like the dark Frankenstein Crawler’s passive, except there’s a hard limit on how many times the damage can increase. Rolling Cannon (Awakened): Attacks all enemies with a cannon gun. The damage increases in proportion to the number of allies alive and Attack Power of all allies. (Reusable in 5 turns) Rolling Cannon actually sounds pretty good! I mean, its damage raises in proportion to the attack power of all allies, and the allies alive. I’m not sure what it means by the attack power part (like Christina’s attack + the power of all allies combined or the highest attack power in the room), but wow! That’s pretty good!

Emily (Light) [Attack]

Fire!: Attacks the enemy 3 times. Each attack has a 30% chance to decrease the Attack Bar by 30%. Same. Wild Shot!: Attacks random enemies 8 times. Each attack has a 50% chance to weaken their Defense for 2 turns. (Reusable in 4 turns) Saaaaaaame. Fatal Armor Bullet (Awakened): Attacks the enemy with a cannon gun and decreases the Attack Bar to 0. Afterwards, inflicts damage on all enemies and stuns them for 1 turn with a 30% chance. (Reusable in 5 turns)  Oooooh! Emily seems like the best of the four-stars. I mean, attack bar reduction, and an AoE stun. Granted, the stun chance is kind of low and all, but still, she could be a good ToA mon.

Bella (Dark) [Attack]

And now, we’ll end this article with Bella, the light Inugami – I mean, the dark Cannon Girl. Fire!: Attacks the enemy 3 times. Each attack has a 30% chance to decrease the Attack Bar by 30%. The same first skill. Focused 5 Shots: Attacks the enemy 5 times. Each attack has a 50% chance to inflict continuous damage for 1 turn. (Reusable in 4 turns) The same second skill. One More Time! (Passive): If an enemy is defeated with your skill, you will attack another enemy once again with the same skill. This effect is activated only once on your turn. [Automatic Effect] Oh, this is a nice passive! It’s like a built-in Vio proc. Sadly, the effect is only activated once per turn, so you can’t go on a killing spree or anything, just like with Isabelle and Endless Death. Burst Cannon (Awakened): Attacks the enemy with a cannon gun and destroys the target’s MAX HP by 100% of the inflicted damage. (Reusable in 5 turns) Okay, this skill may be what triggers her passive a lot! I mean, there’s some MASSIVE damage to be had here. I checked her multipliers, too, and the multiplier for this skill is 800%! Overall, Bella is great; I’d say she’s the best of the Cannon Girls. Anyway, that’s it for this article. The Cannon Girls are REALLY good; better than the Snipers, in fact. I’m Sara Ann, and I’ll see you in the next article!]]>
