'''Elite Defender''' is the [[Sniper Monkey (BTD6)|Sniper Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 5 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It reduces Sniper Monkey's [[Attack speed|attack cooldown]] by 50%, effectively doubling its attack speed, and increases the bullets' [[MOAB-Class damage]] from +2 to +4. Additionally, it gains more attack speed equal to the percentage of the track that the furthest Bloon is at, up to +100%.

Elite Defender also has a [[Passive Ability|passive ability]] that grants 4× faster attack speed for 7 seconds upon losing lives. This ability has a 10-second cooldown (2.5-second cooldown with {{BTD6 mk|Master Defender}}). At its maximum attack speed, Elite Defender attacks 16× faster than [[Full Auto Rifle (BTD6)|Full Auto Rifle]].

==Strategy==

As with {{BTD6|Full Auto Rifle}}, Elite Defender serves highly divergent roles depending on the crosspath. Overall, 0-2-5 is a generalist that excels against groups of bloons when facing against them, whereas 2-0-5 excels at accurate, rapid single-target damage. With crosspaths, Elite Defender is quite strong for a single cheap T5.

~~|name =Elite Defender~~

0-2-5 is a good mid-game tower, carrying the mid-game and dealing solid overall damage when placed on a location (such as [[Muddy Puddles]]'s bottom-middle section) where it can shoot Bloons while they travel toward it. It benefits immensely from a 4-2-0 {{BTD6|Stronger Stimulant}}, which significantly boosts its damage, pierce, and attack speed. On maps with optimal placements, using it with with 0-2-4 Full Auto Rifles, the 0-5-2 {{BTD6|Elite Sniper}}, and {{BTD6|Permanent Brew}} produces a powerful [[CHIMPS]] strategy. However, it suffers on maps without such placements, such as [[Pat's Pond]] and [[X Factor]].

~~|description C=~~

|~~tower=Sniper Monkey~~

The 2-0-5 Full Auto Rifle is tailored towards single-target damage towards blimps, excelling in this regard but falling short when facing groups of Bloons or blimps. It is preferred when no optimal spots are possible for 0-2-5 or when facing [[Boss Bloon]]s (except [[Phayze]], which demands innate [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo]] detection, making 0-2-5 superior, or 0-1-5 if stalling out rounds or intentionally manipulating Bloon leaks). It fares especially well against {{BTD6|Vortex}} (which it ignores the shield of), and setting it on [[Strong]] is optimal in nearly all cases, minus [[Lych]] and {{BTD6|Dreadbloon}} (use First targeting).

|~~path= 3~~

|~~tier= 5~~

|~~cost =14700~~

Both 0-2-5 and 2-0-5 synergize well with {{BTD6|Ezili}}'s Sacrificial Totem and {{BTD6|Dan D'Monke}}'s Rabble Rouser, as these abilities trigger the attack speed buff. {{BTD6|Corvus}}'s [[Soul Barrier]] spell can work as a synergy for leaks, even in CHIMPS where Sacrificial Totem becomes non-functional, but it is still not worth the effort due to dense bloons still being able to outpace Elite Defender. 0-2-5 also synergizes with {{BTD6|Geraldo}}, whose [[Jar of Pickles]] and [[Sharpening Stone]] grant large damage and pierce boosts to it.

==Trivia==

*Unlike the in-game model, it is depicted with a tripod in its Insta Monkey sprite.

*An Elite Defender that activates its passive ability and full 100% track distance together has the fastest attack speed of any tower, without external buffs.

*Its portrait is almost identical to the upgrade icon of the {{BTD6|Special Poperations}}.

*Elite Defender is frequently seen rotating itself at inhuman speeds especially while targeting multiple lanes, leading to the community humorously accusing it of using [[wp:aimbot|aimbot]].

*In previous versions, a bug allowed the player to activate passive abilities using a [[hotkey]]. This also affected {{BTD6|Bomb Blitz}}, and to a lesser extent the {{BTD6|Legend of the Night}}.

**After the bug was patched, Bomb Blitz received a buff to compensate, unlike Elite Defender.
