Which pals learn Dark Cannon

Dark Cannon sits on 20 learnsets in Palworld 1.0, the earliest unlocking at level 1. Bellanoir gets the most out of it at 150 attack. Every learner and its unlock level is on this page.

Dark Cannon power and cooldown

Dark Cannon hits for 70 on a 4 second cooldown, which is at the low end of Dark's range, where the hardest hitter lands at 800. A 4 second cooldown means it is up again almost immediately, so the damage arrives in small helpings.

How to get the Dark Cannon skill fruit

Dark Cannon has a skill fruit, so any pal can carry it whatever its own element. Fruits rotate on the blue skill fruit trees and turn up in Palworld field chests. Feeding one to an off-element pal costs you the same-type damage bonus and nothing else, so a 70-power move is still worth the slot on a pal with the attack to swing it.

Can Dark Cannon pass to eggs

Yes. A parent that knows Dark Cannon gives the hatchling a chance to be born with it already equipped, which is one fewer fruit and one fewer level grind. Check which half of a pair carries it before you commit them, because the breeding planner reads the moves off your save and can tell you.

Is Dark Cannon worth using

Early on. 70 power is at the low end of Dark's range, so it is what you use before the element's real moves unlock at up to 800. Keep it if the 4 second cooldown is doing the work; drop it once Bellanoir learns anything bigger.

Can you get Dark Cannon from a skill fruit?
Yes. Dark Cannon has a skill fruit, so any pal can learn it whatever its element. Fruits rotate on the skill fruit trees and turn up in field chests. Putting it on an off-element pal costs you the same-type damage bonus, not the move itself.
How much damage does Dark Cannon do in Palworld?
Dark Cannon has 70 power and a 4 second cooldown. Power gets multiplied by the pal's attack stat and the element matchup, so the same move hits far harder on Bellanoir at 150 attack than on anything below it.
Is Dark Cannon a good skill in Palworld?
Early only. 70 power is at the low end of Dark's range against 800 at the top of the element, so it fills a bar before the real Dark moves unlock and comes off it afterwards. The 4 second cooldown is the one thing in its favor.
Can Dark Cannon be inherited by breeding?
Yes. A parent that knows Dark Cannon gives the egg a chance to hatch with the move already equipped, which saves you a fruit and a level grind. Worth checking which parent has it before you commit a pair to the breeding farm.
