Cannon (Battle Card)

Cannon is a series of Battle Card that appears throughout the MegaMan Star Force series. It is taken from the Battle Chip series of the same name in the MegaMan Battle Network series. It is one of the few card series to exist in almost every game of both series, and is usually given to the player as a part of each game's starting folder.

Cannons are different in Star Force. In the first game, higher level Cannons gain a knockback property similar to the old Air Shot chips. In the second and third games, higher level Cannons will also damage adjacent enemies.
