*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, while serving as okay damage towards the 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]]'s or [[Zee Jay (BCS)|Zee Jay]]. It has more overall ATK 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]].

*~~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~~.

*Compared to Snipers of similar cost, specifically [[Leeching Shot Sniper]] and [[Night Vision Sniper]], the basic Sniper has the highest damage-to-gold ratio but no utility or additional benefits.
