'''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%.

Additionally, it gains more attack speed equal to the percentage of the track that the furthest Bloon is at, up to +100%. Its base [[attack cooldown]] is reduced to 0.0649 seconds.

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]].

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.

Line 32:

The 2-0-5 Elite Defender 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).

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.
