Ground Pounder



A long range cannon with multiple points of impact. Firing shells far across your island, this weapon is ideal for directional attacks at a distance. With a long range and multiple points of impact, it allows you to bring the enemy attack to a halt even before it has started.

Attacking:
The Ground Pounder is easily one of the most feared weapons in the game. Due to players often underestimating the range or power of this weapon, it can kill Gunners quickly due to its damage, combined with splash. To combat this, You can use a meatshield of Juggernauts to protect Gunners, or attack from the back, as it cannot target behind, to the sides or directly in front.

Defense:
The Ground Pounder should not be outside the walls. It will be destroyed easily. It is best used when its target range is in front of a gateway or funnel path, preferably targeting a Guild ship or your ship. Combining it with a Bunker is a fearsome combo, as the bunker can handle single targets and the Ground Pounder's weaknesses whilst the Ground Pounder destroys mass Buccaneers or Gunners.
