Strategy

This section was last updated for: version 55.2

Even Faster Firing is generally not recommended as a standalone tower, as its attack speed boost is not worth its cost. It should always be used as a crosspath, and begins to become significant as a crosspath for a Tier 3. Two uncrosspathed Full Metal Jackets are more efficient than one 1-0-2 Sniper, and a 2-0-2 Large Calibre is sub-par. With Shrapnel Shot, a 0-2-2 Sniper performs well in the early-game and takes care of all Camo Bloons there.

Even Faster Firing pairs well with Deadly Precision and all Tier 3+ middle-path Snipers. Deadly Precision appreciates faster one-shots and increased single-target damage, and Tier 3+ middle-path Snipers gain consistency and synergize much better with external buffs. Even Faster Firing is recommended for Cripple MOAB in Boss Bloon Events (except when facing Phayze) to keep them debuffed for longer uptime. For Maim MOAB, Even Faster Firing is only needed for a ZOMG perma-stun in the absence of external speed buffs; in Boss Events, the need to stall out a ZOMG becomes important, leading to 4-0-2 being redundant over 4-0-1 if ZOMGs are already perma-stunned in the presence of many external speed buffs.

Version 20.0

“

This tower felt like it’s^[sic] strength too heavily required the xx2 upgrade, and that this harmed crosspath choices. So we increased the base attack rate while nerfing the increase from these upgrades. This is a slight overall buff
— Update notes

”

•  Attack cooldown modifier reduced ― -40% → -30%
  •  Stacks with changes to the base attack cooldown and Fast Firing; overall attack cooldown reduced ― 0.78s → 0.7791s (attack speed increased by 0.12%)

Version 41.0

“

Sniper Monkey has some very powerful upgrades but also many poor stepping stones. We felt this tower needed a big price shuffle all around, pushing down the cost of many underwhelming upgrades but returning this back into stronger upgrades.
— Update notes

”

•  Upgrade cost increased ― $400 → $450
  •  Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
