Snipers are your primary source of ranged physical damage, excelling at taking down aerial units and high-priority targets from a distance. Their archetypes include:

  • Anti-Air Snipers (e.g., Kroos, Jessica, Exusiai, Archetto): Fast attack speed, prioritize aerial enemies. Essential for maps with drones.
  • AoE Snipers (e.g., Shirayuki, Meteorite, W): Deal splash damage to multiple enemies. Great for clearing clustered ground units.
  • Heavyweight Snipers (e.g., Platinum, Rosmontis, Fiammetta): High ATK, slower attack speed, often with long range or unique targeting.
  • Deadeye Snipers (e.g., May, Ash, Fartooth): Long range, often with unique crowd control or burst damage.

You'll need at least two Anti-Air Snipers for early game. Kroos is an excellent 3-star option. Later, an AoE Sniper becomes very useful. For builds, focus on increasing ATK and leveling damage-boosting skills. Modules often enhance their attack range or damage multipliers.
