Captain Cannon is a strong character to use with his damage output.

Because of this reason, it is recommended to use him in mid-range. At mid-range, he can deal the highest damage every second of any Captain Deadbeard variant. Do not use the shotgun unless you are desperate because you can only take out [[Rose]]s and [[Sunflower (class)|Sunflowers]] with a fully reloaded weapon, so only use your shotgun as a last resort or to finish off weakened plants.
