The Sniper Monkey is an accurate tower that pops one bloon at a time, and a great support tower, provided other towers handle its weaknesses in early-game and grouped bloons. Its Shrapnel Shot and Bouncing Bullet upgrades can deal with large groups of bloons on its own, but still struggles without assistance.

Strengths

  • Alt income is very space-efficient
  • Long-ranged blimp debuffs

Upgrades

Path 1

  • Full Metal Jacket is a useful crosspath for chipping high-HP Bloons in the early-game, including Leads. However, it's still quite slow and expensive on lower-tier Snipers.
  • Deadly Precision is expensive and unreliable purely for Ceramic popping, yet more expensive than 2-0-3 Sniper for single-target.
  • Maim MOAB assists in stunning small amounts of blimps at a time.

Path 2

  • TBA

Path 3

  • TBA

Starting with the Sniper

Early-game with Sniper Monkey is not recommended, but if it's a must (e.g. Bonnie-Sniper-Super-Village), buy a tower/hero that deals with Grouped Reds and Blues first, and then buy a 0-2-0 Sniper into 0-2-2. Make sure the angle of the Sniper is against the grain of the track; it allows shrapnel to maximize pierce.

Support from the Sniper

TBA

Income generation with the Sniper
