Special powers

Armour-piercing. Its attacks ignore armour entirely.
Splash. Every hit also strikes everything within 40 of the target for 50% of its damage.

Strong and weak

Strong: Armor, tight ranks.

Weak: Reload, swarms.

As a ranged troop, it deals extra damage to Siege (×1.3), Anti-Armor (×1.2) and Beast (×1.2) troops.

Cavalry (×1.35), Shock (×1.3) and Beast (×1.3) troops deal extra damage to it.

Raising it

The Hand Cannon comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 1,550 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Hand Cannon every 1 minute 4 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 41 seconds at level 2 and 26.3 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,150 gold to level 2 and 5,100 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

Before it can be raised at all it has to be unlocked in the Armory, for 950 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
