*Sniper's high individual damage is useful in the early-game, ~~but~~ other ~~Monkeys do more~~ DPT for ~~less~~ cost ~~and delay~~, ~~namely the~~ [[~~Dart Monkey Twins~~]], ~~and~~ [[Mortar Monkey (BCS)|Mortar Monkey]] ~~which can attack every turn. Use its shots against high-HP Bloons~~, and ~~avoid overkilling a Bloon if possible~~.

*Sniper's high individual damage is useful in the early-game, with its main strength being its high burst damage. 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]].

*Compared to the ~~[[Bomb Shooter (BCS)|~~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, 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]]).

*While a decent candidate for [[Try this!]], and serviceable in newbie decks, other Monkeys ~~simply do better than Sniper's minor one~~-~~shot strength~~. ~~Its only redeemable factor is being~~ a Common, ~~which increases chances~~ of ~~drawing a Monkey card~~.

*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~~, making the former more valuable overall.~~

*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.

*Unlike all other Commons, a Sniper Monkey can one-shot a [[Golden Bloon (BCS)|Golden Bloon]], even on Dark Castle. Also can one-shot a [[Swarm Green Bloon]]. Outside of Dark Castle, it can one-shot a [[Blooming Bloon (BCS)|Blooming Bloon]].
