Ion cannon

The shield specialist among the early guns: well armored and paid for mostly with kryptonite.

Ion cannon

The ion cannon has as much shield as attack. It is paid for mostly with kryptonite and hardly any metal. That makes it the perfect partner for metal-heavy installations like the Mortar and the Turboflak.

  • + The strongest shield of all guns for its price.
  • + Kryptonite instead of metal – takes pressure off your metal production.
  • – Rather low firepower for its price.
Background

The ion cannon is the most accurate cannon of its kind, and thanks to its heavy duty design it's been armed to the teeth. The ions for the cannon are generated by an overload of negative charge carriers, which can be accelerated by enriching the ions with antimatter.
