Cannon Cart

What it looks like

The Cannon Cart is an Epic card that is unlocked from the Miner's Mine (Arena 15). It spawns a single-target, ground-targeting, medium-ranged, ground troop with high hitpoints and moderate damage. When its hitpoints are lowered below 50%, it becomes a building with a 15-second lifetime. It appears as a Cannon with a wooden base atop a wooden cart, with a small team-colored ridge at the rear and a large bolted ridge in the center. A Cannon Cart card costs 5 Elixir to deploy.

Trivia

• The word "Cannon" comes from the Akkadian word "𒄀" (qanû), meaning reed. Cannons were invented in China during the twelvth century. It was most likely developed in parallel or as an evolution of an earlier gunpowder weapon called the fire lance. Cannons were used for warfare by the late thirteenth century in the Yuan dynasty and spread throughout Eurasia in the fourteenth century. During the late Middle Ages, large and small cannons were developed for siege and field battles. The cannon replaced prior siege weapons such as the trebuchet. After the late Middle Ages, most large cannons were abandoned in favor of greater numbers of lighter, more maneuverable field artillery. The Cannon Cart is 1 of 4 cards associated with cannonry, with the others being Royal Giant, Cannon, and Cannoneer. In the Japanese language setting of the game, the Cannon Cart is revealed to be a Type 60 Self-Propelled Recoilless Gun.

The first part of the Cannon Cart's description was taken from the Cannon Cart in Clash of Clans, where it says "A cannon on wheels?! Wait, did it just turn into a mortar?? Bet they won't see that coming! Both powerful and versatile!"; Its ability differs from its Clash of Clans counterpart. Instead of dropping its wheels when the shield is destroyed, the Clash of Clans Cannon Cart can be switched between its moving and stationary form, with its stationary form having higher range and area damage, similar to a Mortar. Its Star Level 3 skin grants it the Golden Dragon's head, a boss that appears in a Single Player Map in Clash of Clans.
