Strategy

Even Faster Firing is generally not recommended as a standalone tower, as its attack speed boost is not worth its cost. Two uncrosspathed Full Metal Jackets are more efficient than one 1-0-2 Sniper, and a 2-0-2 Large Calibre is sub-par, unless planning to buy Tier 3+ bottom-path upgrades. The only realistic standalone use-case for Even Faster Firing is with Shrapnel Shot, as a 0-2-2 Sniper performs well in the early-game and takes care of all Camo Bloons there. Otherwise, Even Faster Firing is only recommended as a crosspath.

Even Faster Firing pairs well with Deadly Precision and all Tier 3+ middle-path Snipers. Deadly Precision appreciates faster one-shots and increased single-target damage, and Tier 3+ middle-path Snipers gain consistency and synergize much better with external buffs. Even Faster Firing is recommended for Cripple MOAB in CHIMPS and in Boss Bloon Events (except when facing Phayze), where its extra overall damage stand out. Even Faster Firing is only recommended for Maim MOAB (which usually favors Shrapnel's group stun capability) in Boss Events, where the ability to perma-stun ZOMGs is pivotal. If Maim MOAB can already perma-stun a ZOMG with 4-0-1, in presence of many speed buffs, 4-0-2 is redundant for stalling a ZOMG in Boss Events.

Version 20.0

“

This tower felt like it’s strength too heavily required the xx2 upgrade, and that this harmed crosspath choices. So we increased the base attack rate while nerfing the increase from these upgrades. This is a slight overall buff — Update notes

”

•  Attack cooldown modifier reduced ― -40% → -30%
  •  Overall fire rate increased ― 0.78s → 0.7791s (due to a buff to the base fire rate)

Version 41.0

“

Sniper Monkey has some very powerful upgrades but also many poor stepping stones. We felt this tower needed a big price shuffle all around, pushing down the cost of many underwhelming upgrades but returning this back into stronger upgrades. — Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $400 → $450
  •  Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
