Reborn as a Mechanist with a God-Tier System-Chapter 255: Cannon Master

Compared to the Warmachine and the Technician Class Specialization, due to his earlier speculations about it, Leon already ruled out the Cannon Master Specialization out of his choices.

It was too narrow for his liking.

But this did not stop him from analyzing the Class Specialization to appreciate its strengths, advantages, and weaknesses.

He was about to become a D Rank Ascended but Leon still clung tight to a creed- he still firmly believed that knowledge is power.

If not to appreciate the Class Specialization, at the very least he wanted to know what a Cannon Master was truly capable of in case he had to face such an enemy in the future.

Compared to the other 2 Class Specializations, Leon felt like the Cannon Master Specialization already deviated slightly from the core essence of a Mechanist, becoming more like other Classes.

The reason why he believed the Mechanist Class was the strongest at E Rank was because of its versatility in any given situation, but now the Cannon Master shed this advantage in favor of overwhelming mechanical offensive power.

Cannon Masters were the Class Specialization categorizing combat, precisely long-ranged combat.

For what Cannon Masters lose in their construction ability, they gained in the sheer offensive power of their ADE and Class abilities in combination with their mechanical constructs.

Of their 3 abilities, Aether Ballistics Protocol is like an advanced form of Enhance but unlike Enhance, it’s only focused on offensive Mechanist constructs.

Enhance and Aether Ballistics Protocol can be stacked in a single weapon, turning a Cannon Master into an Artillery powerhouse.

Unlike Warmachine Specialists, their specialty was heavy weaponry, long-range bombardment, and siege tactics.

As for Wildfire, the 2 forms of the ability further amplifies the offensive potential of a Cannon Master.

The combination of all these abilities gives a Cannon Master the highest long-ranged offensive power at D Rank, and the singular most destructive power just behind a D Rank Pulse Brawler’s Focused Punch.

But unlike a Pulse Brawler’s Focused Punch, Wildfire- Hunt is more ADE exhaustive and consumes a lot of energy from the weapon used.

The true strong point of a Cannon Master though is their core Class Specialization ability, Orbital Designator.

This ability is strongly tied to one of a Cannon Master’s exclusive blueprints.

Cannon Masters are the only Specialization to get 4 blueprints. One is an Energy Cannon, the other is a Railgun, a Turret, and finally a Siege Core.

The X-99 "Solaris" Photonic Disintegrator is a high-yield energy Cannon that channels Ion Cannon tech to fire a continuous stream of superheated plasma that’s hot enough to melt through reinforced armor plating, including the hull of warships!

This was one of the most destructive weapons of a Cannon Master.

As for the Guass-X Kinetic Accelerator, it’s an electromagnetic Railgun that accelerates solid slugs to Mach-level velocities!

Cannon Masters are just that type of killers.

The weapon features a staged propulsion system that’s designed to ignore standard energy shielding, making them especially lethal.

As for the Korrelite-I "Vanguard" Auto-Turret, it’s a hybrid stationary and deployable defense platform that’s capable of housing Hybrid Cannon and Coilgun arrays.

It utilizes advanced targeting systems to track and engage multiple targets simultaneously, making them extremely deadly in a siege.

The Korrelite-I "Vanguard" Auto-Turret can be used in conjunction with the Guass-X Kinetic Accelerator or even the X-99 "Solaris" Photonic Disintegrator, and it can amplify the damage potential of both weapons while improving accuracy with its advanced targeting systems.

And then the magnum opus of the Cannon Master Class Specialization, the Titan-Class 001 Siege Core.

This is not a weapon, it’s a fortress.

The Titan-Class 001 Siege Core is a blueprint for a fortress.

It’s a massive mechanical tower that serves as the power source for heavy artillery, and it serves as the mechanical fortress of a Cannon Master. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

It can overcharge connected weapons for "siege mode", drastically increasing damage and defense.

When outside his Siege Core, when a Cannon Master activates his Orbital Designator ability, the ability marks an area for a precision Aether strike directly from the Siege Core using a satellite or drone relay.

Leon already made up his mind at first to skip the Cannon Master Specialization, but when he analyzed it now, he was stunned.

’Damn!’

Leon was 100% certain that at D Rank, a Cannon Master was one of the most destructive Ascended in all of Neo-Tokara.

And within his Siege Core, he was certain that a Cannon Master was invincible.

Within his Siege Core, Leon even had a hunch that a Cannon Master can withstand a siege against a C Rank Ascended!

This was how OP the Class Specialization was, making Leon hesitate in his decision but he noticed certain limitations after more thought.

The first limitation is the fact that by putting everything into offence, outside their Siege Core, Cannon Masters are weak defensively.

This was their greatest weakness and to Leon, it was too glaring even more than the other Mechanist Class Specializations.

Besides, unlike other Class Specializations, Cannon Masters need accumulation more than others to hit their peak. They need to spend a lot of money and time to construct their Siege Core, they needed money to construct all of their powerful blueprints.

And that’s where the contradiction is.

In exchange for all of that offensive power, Cannon Masters sacrificed the crazy construction ability boosts that their neighboring Class Specializations get at D Rank to become even greater mechanics.

This was why Leon suspected that alone, a Cannon Master simply didn’t have the ability to construct a satisfactory Siege Core for himself.

He needed the help of a Warmachine or a Technician to construct a powerful and cutting-edge Siege Core that meets his/her standards.

But if a Cannon Master refuses to share the blueprint, he can only settle for a substandard Siege Core that he’ll construct himself.

Leon’s eyes gleamed at this thought. ’Can I get the Siege Core blueprint from a Cannon Master in the future this way if I help him construct his Siege Core?’

But then he remembered that every Class Specialization Exclusive Blueprint likely came with its own rare and exclusive knowledge.

’But I have the ChronoSystem!’ Leon’s eyes lit up.

’With the System Shop, I may have the opportunity to buy these rare, extinct and exclusive knowledge’.

Leon’s lips curled into a smile. ’Does this make me the only Mechanist in the history of Neo-Tokara with the potential to actually learn and construct all the Blueprints spanning all 3 Class Specializations of the Mechanist Class at D Rank?’

He was excited at the prospect of this, and finally he focused on the final Technician Class Specialization.
