The Leeching Shot Sniper has almostcthe same Gold-to-damage ratio as the Sniper Monkey, but it also gives a constant supply of Bloontonium.
It has the same Bloontonium-per-turn rate as the Bloontonium Miner, but it cannot generate Bloontonium if it is stunned or there are no targets. Unlike Miners, it can generate more Bloontonium with Try this! or Quick Reload.
Its damage per shot is better than both Miners, but it has less overall DPT than the Mine Supervisor.
Like the Miners, it is a good candidate for maximizing Adora's Bloontonium gains, so she can be powered up for the late-game.
Equipping Leeching Shot Sniper also provides more Bloontonium-generating Monkeys other than the Miners; sacrificing LSS's are less of a downside for Mine Supervisors than on basic Miners (which require multiple Miners to maximize gains).
