Strategy/Usage

Sharpshooter Saki is generally used for long range-sniping. Her extremely far piercing range can pierce all the way back to 900 range, making her easily able to hit backliners that are either Red, Alien, or Zombie. Do keep in mind, though, that Saki will only hit units she is able to, meaning this ability's use is highly limited. Her low health can also make her vulnerable and her fast speed may make her end up closer to the enemy than what you'd want her to. The high price also makes Saki more situational, as you have to manage your cash wisely to be able to afford and then sustain her. However, her short recharge time makes her somewhat easy to stack if you have enough money to send her out.  

Overall, Saki is an extremely situational unit, only being able to hit Red and Alien in her Normal Form and Zombie and Alien in her Evolved Form; but against the right units, she is able to deliver massive damage and DPS to the backline of the enemies. 

Lastly, it's important to notice that Saki can only use enemies she targets as stepping stones for her attack, meaning that she can't fair well against a backliner that she can target unless there is also a peon or frontliner to trigger her attacks.
