__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Cannoneer Elf''' is the one of the units that spawns from the [[Elf Camp]]. It spawns when the [[Elf Camp]] is at Level 2, replacing the [[Snowball Elf]]. As with other [[units]], it starts from the end of the map path and moves towards the entrance of the map. It has a spawnrate of 25 seconds.

Whenever there are enemies in its range, the '''Cannoneer Elf''' will stop moving and attack enemies with its snowball cannon. As the snowballs fired by it are a projectile, they may not hit the intended target but a different enemy instead or miss an enemy entirely. It will continue walking when there are no enemies left in its range.

The '''Cannoneer Elf''' is replaced by the [[Gunner Elf]] for Level 3-4 of the [[Elf Camp]].

There's a limit of 4 '''Cannoneer Elves''' per [[Elf Camp]].

==Appearance==
The '''Cannoneer Elf''' has dark skin and brown hair. It wears a green shirt with a brown belt and red details, green and red hat with golden stars, dark green pants and brown shoes. It wields a snowball cannon that it attacks enemies with.

==Strategy==
*The '''Cannoneer Elves''' that spawn can be quite useful during the mid-game because of their high range and DPS.
*On two-pathed maps, only one '''Cannoneer Elves''' will spawn per Level 4 [[Elf Camp]]. It will go down a random path.
**The snowballs fired by the '''Cannoneer Elf''' can also sometimes hit a flying enemy, however, this also should not be relied on.
*The '''Cannoneer Elf''' cannot collide with [[Ghost (Attribute)|Ghost]] enemies like [[Soul]]s.
*The '''Cannoneer Elf''' can deal full collision damage to enemies with defense, like the [[Heavy]] or [[Elite Abnormal]].
**Its gun damage is still affected by defense.
*The '''Cannoneer Elf''' is not affected by any buff or debuff.
*The '''Cannoneer Elf''' will struggle against any enemy with abilities that damage units because of its low health.
**For example, if the [[Fallen King]] uses its ''Sword Swing'' attack, and an '''Cannoneer Elf''' is caught in the attack, it is instantly defeated.
