'''Sharp Shooter''' is the [[Dart Monkey (BTD6)|Dart Monkey]]'s path 3 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. With this upgrade, every 10th [[projectile]] shot by the Dart Monkey becomes a [[crit shot]] that deals 50 [[damage]] instead of the normal amount. Additionally, this upgrade increases its non-crit [[damage]] from 3 to 6, and increases its [[attack speed]] by +100% from every 0.95s to every 0.475s. It also increases its [[projectile speed]], but reduces its [[projectile lifespan]], so the maximum travel distance of its projectiles remains about the same.

With, [[Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Sharp Shots]], shots gain +3 pierce, plus another +3 pierce (total of +6 pierce) with [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]].

With, [[Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Sharp Shots]], shots gain +3 pierce, plus another +5 pierce (total of +8 pierce) with [[Razor Sharp Shots (BTD6)|Razor Sharp Shots]]; in total, they have 7 and 12 pierce, respectively.

Sharp Shooter is ~~an okay~~ tower for ~~the late early-game and~~ early mid-game~~. Its~~ crit shots ~~do high damage, allowing it to break~~ down blimps fairly well ~~for its cost~~ and occasionally one-~~shot~~ {{B|Ceramic Bloon~~|BTD6~~}}. However, it suffers from low pierce ~~with 0-2-4~~ and ~~from unreliability with 2-0-4, preventing it from being a top-tier option at its price range~~. Additionally, ~~because the~~ Sharp Shooter ~~has~~ 6 damage ~~and low pierce, it struggles versus mid-game Ceramics if it cannot precisely chip~~ them ~~into Blacks and Whites~~,~~ and~~ buffing ~~its damage to exactly 7 damage is far worse than not having external damage buffs (e.g. during downtime of [[Berserker Brew (~~BTD6)|Berserker Brew~~]]'s brews~~ or ~~AMDs) because two~~-~~shotting a Ceramic with 7~~ damage ~~creates~~ fast-moving Yellow clumps.~~~~

For its cost, Sharp Shooter is a decent tower for early mid-game, with its crit shots breaking down blimps fairly well and occasionally one-shotting {{BTD6|Ceramic Bloon}}s. However, it suffers from low pierce and consistency when not placed on straight lines. Additionally, extra damage can hurt its performance against Ceramics: Sharp Shooter's 6 damage normally pops them fully in three hits, but buffing it with {{BTD6|Berserker Brew}} or adding low-damage towers causes Ceramics to be popped into fast-moving Yellow or Pink clumps.

~~For crosspaths,~~ 0-2-4 is generally preferred ~~due to its~~ higher single-target damage and reliability, but 2-0-4 can be used if other towers are present to cover leaks and the map has plenty of straight lines.
