~~The~~ '''Sniper Monkey''' is a [[Military]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It has no additional effect. Three Sniper Monkey cards are unlocked by default.

'''Sniper Monkey''' is a [[Military]] [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]''. It has no additional effect. Three Sniper Monkey cards are unlocked by default.

==Tips==

*Sniper's high ~~individual~~ damage is useful in the early-game~~, but other Monkeys do more DPT for less cost~~ and ~~delay~~, ~~namely~~ the [[~~Dart Monkey Twins~~]], ~~and~~ [[~~Mortar Monkey~~ (BCS)|~~Mortar Monkey~~]] ~~which can attack every turn~~. ~~Use its shots against high~~-~~HP Bloons, and avoid overkilling a Bloon if possible~~.

*Sniper's high burst damage is useful in the early-game and mid-game. Use it to pop high-HP Bloons, especially the [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]]. Notably, it can one-shot a Blooming Bloon except if buffed by the passives of [[Amelia (BCS)|Amelia]] or [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]. It has greater damage-to-gold ratio to single targets than most early-game Monkeys.

*~~While a decent candidate for~~ [[~~Try this!~~]], and ~~serviceable in newbie decks~~, ~~other Monkeys simply do better than~~ Sniper~~'s minor~~ one~~-shot strength. Its only redeemable factor is being a Common~~, ~~which increases chances of drawing~~ a Monkey ~~card~~.

**Compared to the [[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|Bomb Shooter]], which costs 1 less Gold and has Armor Piercing, the Sniper has one less reload, has 10 extra ATK, and counts as a Military Monkey (mainly impactful for [[War Bonds]]).

*~~The~~ [[~~Leeching Shot~~ Sniper]]~~, despite being an Uncommon instead of Common, has~~ more ~~utility~~ than the ~~extra damage per shot offered by the ordinary~~ Sniper, ~~making the former~~ more ~~valuable overall~~.

**[[Night Vision Sniper]] costs 1 Gold more with 10 extra ATK than the normal Sniper. In [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]] decks, having both of these Snipers is useful to survive early-game more consistently.

*~~Unlike all other Commons, a~~ Sniper ~~Monkey can~~ one-shot a [[~~Golden Bloon (BCS)~~|~~Golden Bloon~~]], ~~even on Dark Castle~~. ~~Also~~ can ~~one-shot a~~ [[~~Swarm Green Bloon~~]].

**Sniper only needs one Zee Jay's Rad Enhancements to one-shot a Blooming Bloon with both Amelia and Dark Castle.

*Sniper is a good candidate as an early-game [[Try this!|Try This!]] synergizer. Although other early game monkeys are more common, Sniper is a decent choice for an early game monkey, having high DPT for his cost and dealing a good amount of burst damage.

*Sniper can be used by [[Ezili (BCS)|Ezili]] as a good target for Totem.
