Artillery
Basic Artillery: gives the hero control of the Ballista, Arrow Towers, and the Cannon. The Ballista has a 50% chance to inflict 200% base Damage. The Cannon has an increased chance to hit fortifications. The Ballista and the Cannon cannot be dealt more than 40% of their Health as Damage from any single damage source. Horn of the Abyss
Advanced Artillery: gives the hero control of the Ballista, Arrow Towers, and the Cannon. The Ballista shoots twice and has a 75% chance to inflict 200% base Damage. The Cannon has an increased chance to hit fortifications and inflicts 200% base Damage to creatures. The Ballista and the Cannon cannot be dealt more than 40% of their Health as Damage from any single damage source. Horn of the Abyss
Expert Artillery: gives the hero control of the Ballista, Arrow Towers, and the Cannon. The Ballista shoots twice and inflicts 200% base Damage. The Cannon precisely hits fortifications at maximum Damage and inflicts 300% base Damage to creatures. The Ballista and the Cannon cannot be dealt more than 40% of their Health as Damage from any single damage source. Horn of the Abyss

Artillery increases the base damage of both the ballista and cannon Horn of the Abyss; the "double damage" in the skill description does not mean that the total damage (final damage) is necessarily increased by the same percentage, as it might also be increased by other factors, such as high Attack skill - see damage formula.

Heroes with Artillery as a starting skill:

Horn of the Abyss

Effects on cannon:

With Basic Artillery or Advanced Artillery the cannon does randomly 1 or 2 points of damage to fortifications. With Expert Artillery the cannon always does 2 points of damage to fortifications. With Advanced Artillery the cannon does double damage and with Expert Artillery triple damage to enemies. As opposed to ballistas, cannons always shoot once.
