Version 3.2

“

Sniper Monkey also lacks early game efficiency, being most used for its tier 3/4/5 upgrades way past the early game. Additionally, Sniper hasn’t been particularly prevalent in highest arenas recently, so we have made quite a few price cuts to the early upgrades to encourage Sniper to be used more and to potentially provide some more use cases for it in the early game.

Version 4.2.1 (OTA update 2)

“

We were a little too successful in trying to increase the popularity of the Sniper Monkey as it is now the single most used tower in the game, surpassing even the Banana Farm. Sniper's popularity is due to it's versatility as an income source that also excels with both group popping through its shrapnel shot and at single targets with its high damage. [...] We've also increased the cooldown of the Supply Drop ability and added ability cooldown reductions to the bottom path to create a choice between the more offensive 240 Sniper farm or the more efficient 042.

Version 4.12 (OTA update 1)

“

Sniper is providing too much value for its low cost and money making ability. We are lowering its base attack speed to weaken its damage output to compensate.

Version 4.13

“

Sniper is picked more often purely because it comes with efficient cash generation, so we are changing that to spread its effectiveness across all three of its paths
