Elite Defender is the Sniper Monkey's path 3 tier 5 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. Elite Defender now has 2x more attack speed (x0.5 attack cooldown) and +2 additional MOAB-class damage (total of 4) than Full Auto Rifle and attacks 24.5 times more attack speed than base sniper. Additionally if the furthest Bloon is x% through the track, Elite defender shoots x% faster. Elite Defender also has an ability when Bloons leak it attacks 4x faster for 7 seconds which has a 10 second cooldown (No cooldown with Master Defender). At max attack speed Elite Defender attacks 16x faster than Full Auto Rifle.
Crosspathing
Crosspathing with Full Metal Jacket will allow the Elite defender to pop lead bloons and deal 4 damage per bullet and Large Calibre further increases this to 7 damage per bullet.
Crosspathing with Night Vision Goggles will allow the sniper to detect and hit camo, as well as granting the camo priority option and +2 damage to any camo bloon. Shrapnel Shot will allow shrapnel to spread behind where bullets land, damaging more bloons.

Strategy
Losing lives by any means will trigger its ability, this includes Ezili's sacrifical totem. However it might be wise to wait until she is level 16 so this only costs 1 life. Another way to trigger this ability is by leaking lives with Corvus Soul barrier ability, and this is the only way to use the leaking ability on CHIMPS mode.
Elite Defender is great for popping the first tier of boss bloons (and sometimes the second tier too), this is especially good on Lych since the mini bosses it spawns will drain lives and cause it to trigger its ability. Be careful to place the sniper far away since lych can sap the buff that leakings lifes grants. Against other bosses the elite defender can be set to strong so it focuses on the boss and lets normal bloons advance to boost attack speed or purposely leak lives to trigger its ability. Be careful that Dreadbloon's rock bloons will mess up elite defender's targeting and it won't be able to damage the boss while in the military immunity phase.
Top path crosspath is better suited for single target damage, especially against bosses, while middle path crosspath will allow Elite Defender to hit more bloons with shrapenel and works overall better when buffed.

Description changed (undocumented)
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| A lost life gives this Sniper 4x attack speed for a short time in retaliation. | A lost life gives this Sniper 4x attack speed for a short time in retaliation. Also attacks faster the further the Bloons are along the track. |
| “ | This tower felt like it’s 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 |
” |
- Fire rate increased ― 0.065s → 0.0649s
- Overall cost reduced by $500 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Damage type changed ― Normal → Sharp
- 0-2-5
- Shrapnel: pierce reduced ― 3 → 2 (undocumented)
| “ | Elite Defender falls off a lot after midgame & really lacks any true cross pathing choice, so it has had some MOAB damage added to the base attack with the amount improved from crosspathing. — Update notes |
” |
- Gains MOAB-class bonus ― +0 → +2
- 1-0-5
- Gains MOAB bonus ― +0 → +3
- 2-0-5
- Gains MOAB bonus ― +0 → +4
| “ | All paths of the Sniper Monkey are really starting to show strong use in different cases, and we’re quite happy with this, although bottom path feels like it relies a little too heavily on the top-end upgrades for such an overall cheap path, we are shifting a small amount of price out from the T3 into the T5 — Update notes |
” |
- Upgrade cost increased ― $14,000 → $14,500
Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
| “ | Sniper is feeling really good, but Elite Defender gaining further increased MOAB Damage locked behind the 205 crosspath feels unnecessary now given how much current crosspath balance has started leaning towards favoring 205 anyway. — Update notes |

- Bonus MOAB-class damage increased ― +2 → +4
- 1-0-5
- Bonus MOAB-class damage increased ― +3 → +4
- Note: Full Metal Jacket no longer increases MOAB Damage by 1

- Large Calibre no longer increases MOAB Damage by 1
- Note: Bonus MOAB remains at +4
| “ | Full auto sniper's 024 crosspath sees a lot of fun/meme use, but not so much more than that. We’re hoping that applying the MOAB bonus that it gains to the shrapnel as well will help improve non-meme use here. (And looking over my notes, it seems this was meant to be included a while ago…But better late than never!) — Update notes |
” |
- 0-2-5
- Shrapnel: now deals +1 damage to MOAB-Class
| “ | 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 ― $14,500 → $14,700
- Overall cost increased by $50 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
| “ | Players have requested a bonus for the 025 Sniper shrapnel given it’s meant to be a pierce crosspath but struggles on anything non-MOAB, so we’d like to try moving the bonus MOAB damage on 024 shrapnel into base damage instead. — Update notes |
” |
- 0-2-5
- Shrapnel: base damage increased ― 1 → 2
- Shrapnel: no longer deals +1 damage to MOAB-Class

- Overall cost is unchanged (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
- Retaliation: Passive no longer activates by tapping the Activate Selected Tower Ability 1 hotkey (bug fix)
| “ | Shrapnel defender has been doing too good a carry job early on across too many maps, so the flat damage has been reduced back to a ceramic bonus, keeping it quite good but not overstaying its welcome. — Update notes |
” |

- Shrapnel: Damage reduced ― 2 → 1
- Shrapnel: Now deals +1 damage to Ceramic Bloons

Trivia
- The sprite shown in the insta-monkey icon is of an unused pose. It has a tripod for its rifle, which doesn't for the in-game model.
- Without external buffs, an Elite Defender that activates its passive ability and full 100% track distance together possesses the highest amount of attack speed out of any tower in the game.
