However, the 2-0-5 sniper is still better for single-target damage. As of update 17.0, the 0-2-5 defender is usually better than a 2-0-5, because of the changes to shrapnel that makes it better against grouped bloons.An Elite Defender has a ~15.4x attack speed multiplier than a regular Sniper, ~24.490x when bloons are at the end of the track ~48.980x while the ability is active and ~97.959x when more bloons are at the end of the track with the ability active.On certain longer maps, such as Logs and Four Circles, if supported by the reload boost from an Elite Sniper, a 2-0-5 Sniper Monkey has the potential to single-handedly destroy a ZOMG.A Monkey Knowledge upgrade called " Master Defender" removes the cooldown period between ability activations.There is a 10 second cooldown period between ability activations before the Elite Defender can reactivate its passive ability again.With Large Calibre, it has the highest possible DPS of a single Sniper per dollar. With Shrapnel Shot, it is a viable option for high-rate grouped damage, although Elite Sniper is generally better for that purpose.
It is also one of the cheapest Tier 5 upgrades in the game, and can be very powerful when crosspathed. The main strength of Elite Defender is its solo capability against bloons up to later mid-game, even without the life-loss passive ability.
