Medal wise level 10 or so it not hugely expensive.Higher levels cost more than entire academies  I guess that's the price to pay to break the game. |

How much does it costs at level 10? and is it worth upgrading? My ion cannon is at lv3 and practically useless. I have been spending medals for promoting my generals so I want to know if I should consider upgrading ion cannon. |

In my opinion the Ion canon upgrade sweet spots are at the cool down level changes,so that's how I'll break it down:
Cool down 10 turns:
Lvl --Cost--Damage
1---15----25
2---25----30
3---45----40
Cool down 9 turns:
Lvl--Cost--Damage
4---95---40
5---155---50
6---225---60
7---305---70
Cool down 8 turns:
Lvl--Cost--Damage
8---425---70
9---555---85
10--695---100
11--845---115
Cool down of 7 turns:
Lvl--Cost--Damage
12---1065--115
We can see that there is no damage increase on some upgrades, that's because like the rest of the technologies only one kind of increase is allowed per upgrade,and in this case it's either a damage increase or a cooldown decrease but not both.
I only charter the "reasonable" upgrades that are within reach of many players.So depending or the medal budget,stoping at either level 4 or level 8 or level 12 makes more sense imo.
Not upgrading the canon at all is also an option since it really is not necessary to finish the game.

Thank you for the info. Hmmm... I would probably leave ion cannon alone for now as it's more enjoyable for me to conquer the world with tanks.

Lvl 4 is very easy to get and it knocks out 1 turn.

Y'know. My ion cannon is lvl 2 and for some reason even tho I saw this post I was extremely disappointed that it only did 15 damage to an enemy commander...

A space beam of energy should do more than 15 damage. I don't know what EasyTech was thinking :/

Mine is only lv 4 and it barely scratch enemy generals once every 9 rounds. It probably has a hard time penetrating earth atmosphere. But medals can fix that.  |

  Cannon is a fun feature but honestly I would have prefered it be more reasonable.A high lvl cannon distort the game too much. |

Hey, wait!!! I am still on the planet. If it's that powerful, I'd die too!!! That's what happens when you upgrade the pea shooter too much,it distorts the game,it distorts the planet and it distorts Kanue  Morale of the story: don't upgrade the cannon too much, save the kittens of the world!  |
