Burst Fire v Battleship Cannon v Rapid Fire

Hey I'm just wondering which has better DPM when Rapid Fire and Cannon are both level 1, and Burst Fire is level 20. To me they seem very similar by just looking at the damage they produce. Level 1 Cannon: 205%x3 Level 20 Burst Fire: 190%x3 Level 1 Rapid Fire: 132% Does anyone have any calculations to proove which is stronger in terms of damage per minute? I just want to know if its worth wasting my ship to cast Cannon, when Rapid Fire or Burst might be stronger.

Theoretically, rapid fire is stronger. However, it does not take into account monster defense, which is applied per bullet in rapid fire whereas in burst it is only accounted for in one bullet out of three. I have heard that cannon, in general, is out of the question until it has around 3 points in it. Even then, the ship hp is pitiful; I don't see why you would want to use it until you can hit four shots with it. Going a little off topic here, but I'd suggest you to worry less about which skill could potentially net you like, 1% more per hour, and instead focus on training to 126 or so. By then, cannon should hit four rounds, it will be the undisputed damage dealing skill in your arsenal.
