Revision 3

Overview

The Rhinard Cannon is a ranged weapon in Crimson Desert with an Attack Power of 13 and a Critical Rate bonus at Level 1. Despite being classified as a ranged weapon, the Rhinard Cannon functions as a versatile tool in Kliff's arsenal. It can fire projectiles that deal significant single-target damage and stagger enemies, making it effective for both opening engagements and crowd control.

The Rhinard Cannon is particularly popular in early-game spear builds. Players can use the cannon's projectile to stagger an enemy at range, then close in with a spear for melee follow-up strikes. This combination of ranged stagger and melee combo chaining makes the Rhinard Cannon a standout weapon for aggressive, versatile playstyles.

To unlock the recipe, you will need to have read the crafting manual Two Handed Weapons of the World Vol. 1. This book can be found through exploration or purchased from equipment shops.

Refinement and Upgrades

The Rhinard Cannon supports 10 refinement levels and 5 Abyss Core slots. Refinement increases the base Attack Power, making the cannon's projectile hit harder with each upgrade. The 5 core slots can be used to enhance the Critical Rate further, add stagger chance, or boost elemental damage for more powerful ranged shots.

Combat Tips

The Rhinard Cannon works best as part of a hybrid melee-ranged loadout. Open with a cannon shot to stagger a target from distance, then immediately switch to a melee weapon to capitalize on the stagger with a full combo chain. The projectile fires using a specific button combination during combat, so players should practice the input until it becomes second nature. The Critical Rate Level 1 bonus means some cannon shots will deal extra damage, which can make the opening stagger hit particularly punishing. For Kliff spear builds, the Rhinard Cannon is considered one of the best early-game ranged options due to its accessibility through crafting and its strong synergy with spear counter-attacks.
