 '''Sniper'''<ref>{{source ref|0.32.1|art-data.txt|630}}</ref> is essentially the [[dark maul]] of ranged weapons: it has an incredible enchantment, but sluggish delay. At 27 skill, you'll have a delay of 1.725 - this equates to a 75% of shooting at 1.7 turns, and 25% of shooting at 1.8. You'll also have a 34.5 base damage weapon enchanted to +27. For overall damage per turn, this is roughly equal to a +9 [[brand]]ed triple crossbow.
-Attacking slow comes with a big risk. For every bolt you shoot, enemies will often get 2 turns to move. Fast enemies, like [[orbs of fire]], can move thrice. Be wary of using this against especially fast enemies, or foes with dangerous ranged abilities. In dangerous situations, use [[potions of haste]] or [[Okawaru]]'s Finesse to speed up your shots as much as possible.

 On the flip side, perfect accuracy is valuable against monsters with high EV, like [[list of spriggans|spriggans]] or [[Ereshkigal]]. If nothing else, you can use Sniper as a swapout. Like all weapons, it takes only 0.5 [[decaAut]] to swap from Sniper to a different ranged weapon.
