Cannon Cart

Cannon Cart is a Epic troop that costs 5 elixir. In the current meta, it holds a 54.5% win rate with a 2.1% usage rate across ranked ladder battles above 6000 trophies. This card is viable and balanced in competitive play. At 5 elixir, Cannon Cart is a significant investment that demands careful timing. Playing it at the wrong moment can leave you vulnerable to punish plays, but its impact when used correctly is substantial. While Cannon Cart is not the most common pick at 2.1% usage, players who do run it tend to know its matchups well, so being prepared for it gives you an advantage.

Cannon Cart serves as a heavy anchor troop that can dominate the battlefield when supported properly. High-cost troops like this demand that you build pushes carefully, usually from the back during single elixir. Its presence on the board forces your opponent to commit significant resources to defend, creating opportunities for your support units to deal damage. In double elixir, Cannon Cart truly shines — the increased elixir generation lets you stack support behind it for overwhelming pushes.

Cannon Cart performs especially well against Arrows (66.7% win rate) and The Log (65.5% win rate). It also holds favorable matchups against Electro Spirit, Fireball. These strong matchups mean Cannon Cart thrives in metas where these cards are popular, giving you a natural advantage on ladder.

Watch out for Goblins (40.9% loss rate) and Fireball (37.2% loss rate) — these are Cannon Cart's toughest matchups. Cards like Electro Spirit, The Log also pose significant threats. To play around these counters, adjust your placement and timing, and consider carrying support cards that cover Cannon Cart's weaknesses.
