- The Cannon is a single-target defense that deals moderate damage. It is the first defensive structure that a player builds at the start of their Clash of Clans adventure. The player is required to build one during the tutorial.
- Cannons are both cheap and quick to upgrade at lower levels.
- Cannons can shoot any ground unit , such as Barbarians and Archers , but it can't shoot any air units , such as Dragons , Balloons , etc.
- Starting from level 7, which requires Town Hall 6, the Master Builder can gear up a Cannon to make it resemble a Double Cannon , if he is available. This also requires at least one Double Cannon in the Builder Base to be level 4 or higher, which requires Builder Hall 4.
- At Town Hall 16, two level 21 Cannons that are not geared up can be merged to form a Ricochet Cannon , and at Town Hall 17, the geared-up level 21 Cannon and Archer Tower can be merged to form the Multi-Gear Tower .
- Cannons have a high rate of fire and a decent range, which makes them an ideal deterrent for Wall Breakers (which have very low hitpoints). They can also pick off Archers or Wizards that are used in an attempt to set a funnel.
- Cannons are very useful for keeping Giants from attacking other defenses.
- You can defend Mortars and Wizard Towers by placing them within range of Cannons.
- Make sure Cannons are placed within range of Air Defenses , because Cannons are unable to target air units (or at least in range of an Archer Tower or Wizard Tower which can also target air units). They can also synergize well with Air Defenses specifically.
- They can also synergize well with Air Defenses specifically.
- Upgrade these structures and Mortars first at lower levels, as they are one of your main ground defenses. They are also fairly cheap and are among the most common defensive structures available, which makes them a good initial investment for defense.
- As the description implies, they are best used for point defenses, so putting them a bit outside of your base would be effective.
- At Town Hall 5 (and above), if two Cannons are placed near each other, it could be a great help as sometimes players mostly try to go for the Archer Towers using Giants, which makes them shotguns thus taking out Giants easily. However, this strategy is much less effective on tanks like the Barbarian King.
- However, this strategy is much less effective on tanks like the Barbarian King.
- A geared up Cannon is highly ineffective against swarms of smaller troops due to its slow rate of fire. It may deal lots of damage, but most of its cannonball shots prove to be useless due to low-hitpoint troops dying in few hits and is easily overwhelmed, due to its sluggish retargeting time. In contrast, however, Geared-Up Cannons are more effective against single-target high hitpoint troops. It can easily decimate medium troops, such as Giants, Hog Riders, Valkyries, Druids and Miners (if they are by themselves), and can deal tons of damage to Golems, Ice Golems, Root Riders and P.E.K.K.As. Because of this, geared-up cannons should be placed further within the base rather than outside to maximize their damage output. (This strategy is best for Town Halls 7 to 11).

- Cannons are one of the defensive buildings that cannot attack air units. This makes them easy pickings for Balloons , Dragons , or Minions if they are not within the range of Air Defenses , Archer Towers , X-Bows (on ground and air mode), Hidden Teslas , or Wizard Towers .
- Cannons are only able to damage one unit at a time. This makes it very easy to overwhelm them with large groups of Archers or Barbarians . They can also be overwhelmed with higher health units such as Giants , Golems , Yetis , Ice Golems , or P.E.K.K.As .
- Strong solo troops such as the Super Barbarian , P.E.K.K.A. , or Valkyrie can destroy a Cannon even when surrounded by trash buildings if it has low support.
- When initially constructed, the Cannon consists of a short dark metal barrel mounted on a crude four-legged wooden rotational mount made of multiple planks on top of a circular metal plate.

Each corner has a cube with three golden spikes protruding.
- At level 15, the barrel becomes octagonal shaped with two gray metal bands around the neck and muzzle of the barrel, with the neck one held in place with golden circular bolts and a small golden ring hanging from a fitting on each side. In between these two metal bands is a glowing yellow. The rear of the barrel is riveted with metallic strips replacing the trapezoidal plates, having a gold band around where the gold bar was. The muzzle itself is much larger. The base gains some black stone pieces on the corners replacing the spikes, the inner gold lining is replaced golden plates covering most of the remaining edge.
- At level 16, the band around the muzzle is now even bigger and fused with the muzzle; The band with golden pentagonal bolts now is fully made of gold covering the yellow glow. The kite-shaped spike and the metallic strips are replaced by a metal band with spikes on each side, a thick metal plate run across the back from the top of the band. The base is no longer a lava pool, the rotational mount is visible again and is an octagonal black metal, the base is made of a two-step white stone, mostly covered with blue carpet and gold linings that almost forms an octagon by touching the hypotenuse of the corners while leaving a bit of the stairs visible. The corners are made of black metal in the shape of right-angle triangular prism which extends a bit more at the foundation, the top has a pentagonal bolt.
- At level 17, the golden band now has big spike on each side and is wide enough to cover the slanted faces in the middle of the barrel, while the main body is now grooved rather than spiked, and thick metal plate and the back of the barrel is also golden.

- When viewing your village, Cannons will appear to aim randomly about. However, they will always be (generally) aiming away from the Town Hall . If the Cannons (or the Town Hall) are moved, the Cannons will instantly orient themselves to point away from the Town Hall's new relative location. This remains true even when the Cannons are being upgraded (except that upgrading Cannons always instantaneously point directly away from the Town Hall with no random movement). The same thing applies to the Mortar, X-Bow (both modes), Scattershot, Monolith, Ricochet Cannon, and the Multi-Gear Tower (in both modes).
- The same thing applies to the Mortar, X-Bow (both modes), Scattershot, Monolith, Ricochet Cannon, and the Multi-Gear Tower (in both modes).
- The Cannon's barrel expands slightly whenever it shoots a cannonball.
- If the details of the Cannon are opened immediately after gearing up, it will display the damage per second as half that of a normal Cannon instead of burst information. This is likely a bug and is easily fixed by reloading the game.
- In the Single Player Campaign , the Cannon that appears in the "Payback" level is weaker than a normal level 1 Cannon, doing only 2 damage per second and only having 250 hitpoints. Oddly, that Cannon is also not considered a defensive building, since defense-targeting troops such as the Giant or Balloon would target the Goblin Hall if placed at the bottom of the level.
- The Cannon is the only defense in the game that appears in all three villages: Home Village, Builder Base, and Clan Capital .
- At Town Hall 17, all of the normal and geared up Cannons can be merged into Ricochet Cannons and the Multi-Gear Tower. Since merging into those defenses is a requirement to upgrade to future Town Halls, there will be no more normal Cannons at Town Hall 18 or beyond unless more are added.

Oddly, that Cannon is also not considered a defensive building, since defense-targeting troops such as the Giant or Balloon would target the Goblin Hall if placed at the bottom of the level.
- The Cannon is the only defense in the game that appears in all three villages: Home Village, Builder Base, and Clan Capital .
- At Town Hall 17, all of the normal and geared up Cannons can be merged into Ricochet Cannons and the Multi-Gear Tower. Since merging into those defenses is a requirement to upgrade to future Town Halls, there will be no more normal Cannons at Town Hall 18 or beyond unless more are added.

- When viewing your village, Cannons will appear to aim randomly about. However, they will always be (generally) aiming away from the Town Hall . If the Cannons (or the Town Hall) are moved, the Cannons will instantly orient themselves to point away from the Town Hall's new relative location. This remains true even when the Cannons are being upgraded (except that upgrading Cannons always instantaneously point directly away from the Town Hall with no random movement). The same thing applies to the Mortar, X-Bow (both modes), Scattershot, Monolith, Ricochet Cannon, and the Multi-Gear Tower (in both modes).
