Can Sniper Monkey Pop Camo Bloons in Bloons TD?
Yes, the Sniper Monkey can hit and pop Camo Bloons in Bloons TD games! With the proper upgrades like Night Vision Goggles and Full Metal Jacket equipped, Sniper Monkeys gain the invaluable ability to detect and damage sneaky Camo Bloons.
For those unfamiliar, the Sniper Monkey is a powerful long-range tower in Bloons TD known for high single-target damage. However, on its own it lacks camo detection, a common shortcoming. This article will explore Sniper Monkey interactions with dangerous Camo Bloons.
Gaining The Sight: Upgrades To Hit Camo Bloons
The following two upgrades grant the Sniper Monkey camo detection and damage:
Night Vision Goggles (XX2): Adds camo detection and +2 damage per shot to Camo Bloons. Costs $325 on Medium.
Full Metal Jacket (XX4): Adds lead popping power and camo detection. Costs $1,850 on Medium.
With one of these upgrades purchased, Sniper Monkeys can start hitting sneaky Camo Bloons that other towers would ignore. Do note Full Metal Jacket also enables damage to lead bloons.
- Degree of Damage: Sniper Monkeys can dispatch Camo Bloons quickly, dealing 2+/shot up to over 100 damage on some upgrade paths. Their high, rapid single-target damage outpaces many towers against Camo Bloons.
Crosspaths & Team Synergies
Good crosspaths and tower synergies include:
X2X Sniper – Covers lead and camo popping power in one upgrade path.
Sniper + Village – Radar Scanner (XX2) gives nearby towers camo detection.
Sniper + Ice Monkey – Combined freezing and high damage shred Camo Bloons and Ceramics.
Sniper + Mortar – Can eliminate Camo Lead threat.
- Sniper Excels: Maps with long sight lines for maximal effectiveness.
Sniper Monkey Strategy Against Camo Bloons
Positioning Sniper Monkeys to target long track paths is ideal against Camo rushes. Maps like Hedge, Cubism, Logs and Straightaways favor Sniper placement.
The ideal Sniper upgrade route for handling Camo is:
- Bouncing Bullet
- Night Vision Goggles
- Deadly Precision
- Full Metal Jacket
- Supply Drop
This covers camo, income, MOAB defense, and damage boosts. Supply Drop can also boost Monkey Villages for team-wide benefits!
- Good Team Towers: Ninjas, Druids, Ice Monkeys, Mortars
- Degree of Effectiveness: Very effective – the raw damage pierces camo layers rapidly with proper positioning.
Top Sniper Upgrades For Countering Camo Bloons
The following upgrades excel against Camo Bloons:
1. Night Vision Goggles: Essential for initial camo detection.
2. Deadly Precision: Adds +2 damage, excellent with Bouncing Bullet.
3. Cripple MOAB: Ability slows Camo BFBs and ZOMGs.
4. Elite Sniper: Adds extra damage and knockback to hold bloom lines.
5. Semi-Auto Rifle/Full Auto: Faster attack speeds increase Camo popping.
Prioritize seeing camo first before damage/utility upgrades. Support with MIB, Radar Scanner, or Energizer for added detection.
Camo Bloon Analysis And Counters
Appearance: Camo Bloons first emerge on Round 12 in BTD6, getting more dense by the 40s. Expect grouped Camo rushes like Camo Rainbows by Round 59! Without detection, entire tower defenses can get overwhelmed.
Health Scaling: Base Camo properties add +1 RBE per bloon type. However…
Camo Vulnerabilities: Once detected, Camo properties do NOT influence damage taken. They can get shredded by splash damage rather easily.
Counters: Besides detection provided by upgrades, excellent counters include Ice Monkeys, Bombs, Tack Shooters, and Monkey Intelligence Bureau with nearby towers.
Concluding Thoughts
The Sniper Monkey‘s high MOAB-class damage and Semi-Auto Rifle speed make it a formidable Camo lead popper when given camo detection. Prioritize key upgrades like Night Vision Goggles by the mid 40s.
Aircraft carrier-style maps favor long-range positioning to shred dense Camo Bloon lines before they overwhelm other towers. Support the Sniper Monkey with Radar Scanners, Ice Monkeys, or Energizer for full coverage against feared Camo rushes!
So in summary – yes, an alert Sniper Monkey armed with the right upgrades will certainly hit and crush those sneaky Camo Bloons!
