- Cannon is very useful to avoid Giant attacking other defenses

- You can be against Mortar and Wizard Tower by placing them in a range of Cannon.

- Make sure the gun placed in the reach of the Air Defense because the gun cannot shoot the air enemy

-  It’s better to upgrade Cannon and Mortars quickly because these things are very important defensive object on the ground as well as cheap, common structures to defense and worth to invest.
