{{BTD6 last updated|49.2|section=y}}Sharp Shooter is an okay tower for the late early-game and early mid-game. Its crit shots do high damage, allowing it to break down blimps fairly well for its cost and occasionally one-shot {{B|Ceramic Bloon|BTD6}}. However, it suffers from low pierce with 0-2-4 and from unreliability with 2-0-4, preventing it from being a top-tier option at its price range. Additionally, ~~because~~ Sharp Shooter ~~has 6~~ damage, buffing ~~it with~~ damage ~~buffs such as [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]]~~ is ~~generally~~ worse ~~due to layer~~-~~skipping issues.~~

Sharp Shooter is an okay tower for the late early-game and early mid-game.

However, it suffers from low pierce with 0-2-4 and from unreliability with 2-0-4, preventing it from being a top-tier option at its price range. Additionally, Sharp Shooter's low pierce struggles versus mid-game Ceramics if it cannot precisely chip them into Blacks and Whites; buffing its damage to exactly 7 damage is worse because two-shotting a Ceramic with 7 damage creates fast-moving Yellow clumps.

For crosspaths, 0-2-4 is generally preferred due to its higher single-target damage and reliability, but 2-0-4 can be used if other towers are present to cover leaks and the map has plenty of straight lines.

Or zebra/rainbow into red/blue clumps? btw bbrew also has amd to cover 8 damage to ceramic -->
