''Read more: [[Laser Cannons]]''

Laser Cannons are similar to rifles, in that it's 1 hit per {{Square}} press, goes in a straight line, and hits once per enemy. However, in exchange for a lower range and a slightly slower fire rate, Laser cannon shots pierces enemies, allowing it to deal damage to all enemies within the line of fire. '''This makes Laser Cannons better against clustered groups of enemies than rifles, but worse at sniping from long range.'''

Laser Cannon CS1 shoots a persistent straight line, and deals 4 hits to each enemy within the line of fire. This is quite good if it lands on multiple enemies, and is decent for single target damage, even though it's inferior to Shotgun's single target damage. Since the range of Laser Cannons is fairly low, consider using [[Long-Range Prism]] to extend the range of CS1 to make it more effective and less risky to use.

Laser Cannon CS2 shoots a laser that rolls from left of the player to the right, dealing 1 hit for each enemy, and also launches them. While CS2 doesn't deal a lot of damage, '''it's one of the widest enemy-launching attack in the game,''' covering a wide distance around the player'''.''' It also charges quickly enough to hit the enemies again when they get back up, thus effectively stun lock them until your pp runs out. 

Note that PAs do not affect the range of Laser Cannon CS2.
