Since the Pirate Cannon can destroy multiple objects per shot, you can aim it at significant spots in the structure to instantly bring enemy-made structures down.
Aim At Groups Of Enemies
The Pirate Cannon can deal damage to a player with a direct hit, and 50 damage to a surrounding area. This is useful for whittling down enemy health before finishing them off!
