1 Cannon vs Multiple Enemies

If 2 giants are attacking 1 Cannon
Both Giants have health of say 400 each.
Cannon has damage of say 100 per second.
Both giants are standing at same spot, ignoring everything around...will giants die in 4 seconds or 8??

The first Giant will die in 4 seconds.

The second Giant will die 4 seconds after that.

Cannons don't do splash damage, only defences that do splash damage do splash damage.

So the cannon would shoot each giant separately.

Thanks guys

It's hilarious when the Giants gang up on a defense and slowly get their butts handed to them for ignoring the other defenses shooting them, lol!

It would take 8 seconds overall for both giants to die, as one's HP is reduced in 4 seconds, and only one is hit at a time.

This is the difference between single target point defence and multiple target splash defence.

Generally, single target defence does higher damage per hit but only hits one thing at a time, multiple target defence does much lower damage per hit but hits multiple things at the same time.

A group of high HP giants would be weaker against single target picking off one at a time, than splash damage tickling all of them.

A group of minions would over power an air defence although it will instantly kill one at a time the rest will survive long enough to take it out, however a wizard tower will kill a group of minions fast because although there is a lot of them they have low HP and the wizard tower although a small amount damage per hit would be almost all of the HP of a minion and hitting them all at the same time.

Hope that made sense.
