There you go

thats dumb adding stealth that late. you would probatly be killed a 1000 times before you even hit lvl 20 because you can't go in stealth

You don't need stealth in the lower levels, lvl 2 or lvl 3 isn't going to have a major impact; if you rely on stealth too much in early game you will probably do minor sniping damage and do less killing, thus not improving aim and general sniping skill as much as you would when starting with maxed PS and a wide variety of necessary abilities. The lower levels are very forgiving when it comes to stealth and the counters your opponents have against you.

What do you mean, the 1 free point in stealth is enough in a sniper build at low levels.

[The_WUUSTER]

^You don't need Stealth at low levels.

Unless you're knifing, where you need at least some.

[Paul1858]

wtf ?? tt as a sniper ???

best setup for sniper is:
5 ps 5 stealth (really important, you know you have only 80 lives ??!!) 5 elixir 1 mark

Why would you need 5 stealth when you're not even going to be close to your enemies?

why would you put a tt on a campmountain while as a sniper you ar always walking around ?? and its not about the radius, its about the cooldown, stealth is the commandos' only leg to stand on.

sadest guide ever..

Again. When you're stealthed you do NOTHING to contribute to your teams victory. If you ahve to be stealthed every 13th second, you're obviously doing it worng. You're not shooting nearly enough and supressing/supporting your front lines.

Oh and I rely more on elixir to get out of bad situations than stealth. And elixir can be used offensively too, so it's better to put points in it than stealth.

[TwIsT3d_V3nom]

WOW O.O

so you say: on lvl 30 keep 3 stealth ??

in infantry maps like perilous port or victory village, you NEED 5 stealth. in close combat, soldiers and or gunners will kill you in no-time if they see you in your lvl 3 stealth because our commando only has 80 without ssb. maybe im not doing it right then, but in a whole game, you are maybe 1 2 or 3 times in close combat.

you said: "Why would you need 5 stealth when you're not even going to be close to your enemies?"

i say: "Why would you have lvl 2 tt, it only gives you like maybe 100-200 points a round, thats extra. stealth can save your live and tt can only do that when youre camping."

i see no way to have tt's as a sniper.

and as answer to the one person who posted this thread: "get a mgl, its better than tnt, and kills knifers easily"

now you again

[FlaSh[b]aCk]

Answer to nearby soldiers/gunners shooting at you: Elixir.

/shrug

I use rank 1 stealth when I snipe....

I'm not having any problems.

Most, non-knifer, close range fights can be avoided with rank 1 stealth and proper awareness of whats going on around you.

Ranked MT, Elixier, VLR pistol, MGL deal with the rest.

/shrug I personally find stealth 5 to be a waste of at LEAST 2 points when I snipe. But I know most commandos don't agree with me.


(I don't see a need to level up TT as a sniper either though... not since we get the MGL to jump with.)

TLDR:

Mostly this, Although ranked stealth is VERY useful if you're going to be capping flags/rockets. But then again... so is TT.

[orpheus######]

If i was to go back to sniping at lvl 30 then i would probably go stealth 3 ps5 elixer 5 mt3. But i hate sniping (mainly cause my aim sucks).

First off, listen to what this man says.

For me, I like 3 stealth when I snipe + LR pistol. 5 is overkill and 1 is too little for my liking. I've found max elixir is just as important as PS because it's great when you're pistoling, or just plain running away.

[Ormit123456789]

I use Harry's Super Hand Cannon and Royal Super Knife. If I were you I would max my stealth and then doa anything you want with the abilities

[The_WUUSTER]

I rolled with 3 Stealth for a long time when I used the slow sniper, then I converted to 5 when I used the fast since I found myself sniping a lot at close range.

To start, I had a tough time countering knifers and anyone that was charging me. Any help with that?

AND, I just need help with my abilities setup. I understand Stealth should be maxed out first for knifers but not sure if it applies to snipers. And after that, I don't know where to put the rest of my ability points.

edit: I have a rough idea of where to put my points but still need help fixing it up. This is what I thought up a few minutes ago for my abilities once I hit lvl 30:

4/5 Stealth
4/5 Elixir
1/5 Mark Target
5/5 Piercing Shot
2/5 Troop Trap

So if you can, rate this please or provide me with a better setup..

5 stealth, 5 elxir, 5 Piercing shot, 1 MT or TT. you rly only need TT when u camp in high and known spots. Its better too kill 1-3 and then move on 2 next spot kill some and move on too next spot and just do that on and on. this works for me when i play dual sniper and pistol/sniper vuild i used from lvl 16-30 but now i use dual sniper because pistol isnt that work full vs high lvls players.

Kind regards
