Yeah, we found that out soon after the thread was posted on basil. Kazoo and i both thought that if the firing rate was a lot more then demolition that it wouldn't make a difference but you are right.
1 cannon + AH = 18xx%. (too lazy to find the exact number at the moment >_>)
Devil Wrote:When Vipers wouldn't have Timeleap (countdown reset), yeah Cannon would equal Demolition in DSP at bosses... however when a battleship is destroyed, there is no more Cannon to shoot, so it's pretty useless at bosses...
But again, Vipers have Timeleap, this results in when they party with 6 Vipers in 1 party, that they can use SuperTransform for 16 out of every 20 minutes (!!!), and when they're not transformed they always have Fist for the other 4 minutes...
No really, when it comes to bossing, Captains are "ok" but Vipers just outdamage EVERY class with their Demolition parade...
Timeleap is the winner here... especially when there are 6 Timeleap-able people in 1 party...
Am i missing something? O_o How can 6 vipers use time leap 16 times in 20 minutes? You sure you don't mean 6? >_>

While demolition does how much?

I agree with Arroz on one aspect though, these two skills shouldn't even really be compared. But Battleship is definitely a worthwhile bossing skill. Cannon is the most powerful attack a Captain has, of course they'll be using Battleship at bosses.
I was hoping you could add your two cents but why exactly to they max battleship after cannon? How does the durability compare from level 1 to 10? None of us really know but hopefully you can give us some sort of comparison or ideally some sort of estimate?

And even if you bothered demounting and remounting to keep it alive, you miss out on spamming Battle Cannon
Not spamming it is fine as long as i can use it all the time (if i'm smart) unlike transform + demolition.
