Sniper the Recruit (Super Rare Cat)

Not to be confused with Sniper the Cat.

Sniper the Recruit is a Super Rare Cat that can be unlocked by playing the Rare Cat Capsule when "Reinforcements Cats" are part of the current pool. True Form added in the Version 9.9 Update increases range, decreases time between attacks and can slow non-Metal enemies.

Strategy/Usage

This unit has a very long-ranged attack. His damage is almost non-existent, but his ability is particularly useful when stacked.

This unit is essentially a free Sniper the Cat (excluding high damage). Like Sniper the Cat, he is particularly useful against individual bosses (such as Dober P.D). However, you should not use Sniper on levels with many peons, as he will likely miss the boss.

True Form

Sniper the Deadeye performs much better with the extra range, the slow ability and faster attacks, but still has the weaknesses of his other forms.
