heavy crescent wave canon = elachi crescent canon?

[SPYRO THE DRAGON]

what is a difference between lobi and lockbox elachi canon please? like example fire rate projectile shape firing animation etc

"heavy" cannons generally have a slower firing rate and more damage per shot. Theoretically they're equal to normal cannons over time... but that does not take damage boosts, crit boosts, or haste into account, so in practice they are usually better than regular cannons.

Right, but my point was... one type (unmodified) might fire 5x in a given amount of time with 100 damage per shot, while the other one might fire 4x with 125 damage per shot. Both of those would do 500 damage. But then when you throw in damage multipliers and/or time reduction, the 4/125 would creep ahead of the 5/100.

For example, let's say that between your build and CrtD mods on the weapons, you have 200% critical severity. This would mean that any hit that is counted as a crit is tripled. So the "heavy" cannon (in our example with 125 damage per shot) would be tripled to 375, while the regular cannon (100 damage per shot) triples to 300....
