Elite Sniper (BTDB2)

"Supply drop gives much more cash. Grants Elite targeting prio and faster reloading to all snipers."

- BTDB2 description

Elite Sniper is the 5th upgrade on Path 2 of the Sniper Monkey in Bloons TD Battles 2. It is similar to its BTD6 counterpart, except much stronger. It has only 1/4 initial cooldown, and drops crates worth $5000 cash. Cooldown has also been greatly reduced, down to 40 seconds cooldown.

It costs $13,000.

Summary
Elite Sniper's dual offense and income generation makes it incredibly strong at building a solid income growth, particularly whenever the game is set to play at a stalemate. Tapping the ability as soon as is ready gives essentially an equivalent 750 eco. Like normal Supply Drop, the main draw with this upgrade compared to other options is being able to use other Sniper upgrades as well as not needing to rely exclusively on eco to grow income. However, another huge perk is global attack speed boost for all Snipers, empowering Maim MOABs and Cripple MOAB in particular.

Tips

 * 0-5-2 does a better job at cleanup, and is cheaper to buy, but 2-5-0 is stronger and deals with stronger bloons better. Elite Sniper is even more of a dual offense and income tower, so 2-5-0 generally does a better job anyway.
 * Elite Sniper has great popping power and gives $5000 per crate, which becomes a lot more valuable in the late-game, and even works well during the middle 20's rounds.
