* Cripple MOAB is a valuable support that synergizes very well with towers that attack very quickly and/or have plenty of projectiles. Its direct damage is low, so it's more of a support. | |||
**5-2-0 is usually preferred to hit more BADs at once. | |||
**5-0-2 is only better versus exactly one BAD. | |||

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. | 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.

In general, the Sniper is brought in loadouts as more of a support tower than an actual DPS tower (e.g. [[Ninja Monkey (Battles 2)|Ninja Monkey]], [[Wizard Monkey (Battles 2)|Wizard Monkey]]); in fact the only incentive for Sniper as of current is its alt income generation plus blimp debuffs. | |||
