―Narrator on Wave 29 (Blind Faith)

Description

The Star Cannon is an interactable map object in the Blind Faith map as part of the Null & Void Event, and also has previously appeared in Totality Tower as part of the Solar Eclipse Event. The Star Cannon's main purpose is to stop The Umbra and Rift Walker from performing their abilities which, if not prevented, damage the base health and potentially kill the player. For both events it required three Charges.

To use the Star Cannon in the Null & Void Event, players must first collect eight Star Cannon parts scattered around the map, available from Wave 7. Shards starts at $500 and increases by $500 with each subsequent shard, for a total of $18,000. Once completed, it takes three Charges to fire. These fall down from the sky, but only if the Star Cannon is not fully loaded. Its main use is to stop the Rift Walker from performing its Lord Exo's Rebirth ability, though it can also be used to deal 1,000 damage to an enemy per use.

In the Solar Eclipse Event, its mechanics were similar — the Star Cannon would fire at The Umbra when activated by the player, stunning it. Similarly, it required three Charges to fire and had a 60-second cooldown. Charges could be collected from around the map. During this event, its main use was to prevent The Umbra from using its Shot of the Century ability, which would damage the base otherwise.

Appearance

The Star Cannon is a large white, yellow, grey and dark grey cannon. It had a yellow star on the side and a neon light on top of it.During the Null & Void Event in the Blind Faith map, it was located near the exit. During the Solar Eclipse Event, It always faced The Umbra even if it was not charged. It was attached on top of the exit.

Strategy

• While available to rebuild from Wave 7, it is not recommended to actually rebuild it this early as the Star Cannon serves very little use early on.
  • It is best bought around five waves before Wave 30.
• The Rift Walker will have Lord Exo come out of its body while also turning the entire map yellow, this is when the player should be using the Star Cannon.
  • It is recommended to prevent the ability every time, as the ability only requires two successful uses to end the match.
  • The Fool reduces this further to one successful shot. If no one in the team can time the Star Cannon well, The Fool is best avoided.
• In the Easy difficulty of Blind Faith, it is actually entirely possible to not purchase the Star Cannon, especially if the player has overheal from Skills, which allows them to tank more shots.

Trivia

• The Star Cannon was inspired from the Star Cannon from Terraria and the Thunderbolt Cat Cannon from Battle Cats.
• This and the Charges were the first interactable objects inside a match.
• It was possible to get stuck on a certain part near the top of the cannon.
• The Star Cannon appears in the 2025 Halloween lobby event area and as one of the falling props in Banlands.
