Cannon Ship is the Monkey Buccaneer's path 2 tier 3 upgrade in Bloons Monkey City. It adds a cannon to the buccaneer that shoots a bomb every 1.3 seconds (1.2 seconds on the Flash version of Bloons Monkey City) and increases the range of the Buccaneer on the Flash version of Bloons Monkey City. The bombs deal 1 damage and have 28 pierce (40 in the flash version).

In the multiplatform version of Bloons Monkey City, Cannon Ship is affected by a bug which increases the amount of explosions made per pierce increase added to the bomb.

Strategy

Cannon Ship provides a decent bomb attack that allows it to pop Camo Lead Bloons for not much more expensive than a Signal Flare, making its volleys more effective and providing it with a niche on water tiles. Like its Bloons TD 5 counterpart, it has a higher cap to its damage output compared to an Airburst Darts, but at the cost of much weaker accuracy.

On the multiplatform version of Bloons Monkey City, it can also abuse the sub-projectile duplication glitch to explode the bomb twice, as well as providing a valuable pierce buff to the grape spray, making it essential to its success. However, it can quickly become overrun by the sheer amount of Bloons in the midgame rounds, and doesn't have the concentrated damage that Destroyer or Airburst Darts has, resulting in it being weaker against MOAB-Class Bloons.

Crosspath with Faster Shooting to improve its attacks. Longer Cannons is mostly unnecessary, especially on the Flash version of Bloons Monkey City.
