==Tips==

*Sniper's high burst damage is useful in the early-game~~, while serving as okay damage towards the~~ mid-game. Use it to pop high-HP Bloons, especially the [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]] ~~(which~~ can be one-shot ~~outside~~ of ~~Dark Castle). However, many other options deal higher DPT for lower cost, including~~ [[~~Bomb Shooter~~ (BCS)|~~Bomb Shooter~~]], [[~~Mortar Monkey~~ (BCS)|~~Mortar Monkey]], and [[Dart Monkey Twins~~]].

*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.

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

**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]]).

*~~While a decent candidate for~~ [[~~Try this!~~]]~~, and serviceable in newbie~~ decks, ~~most other Monkeys are preferred for the~~ early-game ~~once unlocked~~. As a ~~Common~~, ~~however, the~~ Sniper ~~can be drawn more likely than more popular~~ early-game ~~cards such as~~ [[~~Barrel of Monkeys~~]].

**[[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.

*~~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~~.

**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.
