Sniper is a hero that can be used on both center and light lines, as he has excellent damage, and one of the longest attack ranges in the game. He also has a strong leyning, which will help him get off the line big, and quickly gain critical mass. Especially good for beginner players, because it doesn't require any special skilling, and all abilities are as simple and straightforward as possible. I suggest breaking it down in more detail to understand how to play it and what to do.

Pros

• Strong line;
• Huge survivability, due to the high attack range;
• Lots of damage;
• Doesn't require a lot of items.

Cons

• Poor mobility;
• Easy to be the first to get focussed;
• Loses relevance in leit.

SHRAPNEL

The hero uses a charge that covers a certain area, deals damage in it and slows down movement. Useful spell that will help you farm, as well as harass the enemy on the line, and make stacks. It deals magic damage and has a low cooldown.

HEADSHOT

This character deals increased damage, repels enemies, and slows down their movement speed and attack. The chance of it falling depends on the level of the ability, and it can cause trouble for the enemy.

TAKE AIM

Passively increases the range of your attacks and also gives you a 100% chance of a second ability drop when used. It is very powerful and allows you to deal a huge amount of damage and keep your opponent away from you.

ASSASSINATE

Can be used from a great distance. The character takes a certain amount of time to aim, and then fires a precise shot that deals magic damage and basic attack damage. Scales well with purchasable items, and can deal a huge amount of damage in leyte.

Actions to take

It is important to line up well, as the hero is heavily tempo dependent. Buy items that will increase your DPS, but also don't forget about escape, which will help you survive and not be detected in a fight. The ideal item would be Silver Edge, which will give you critical damage, and invisibility, which will improve your positioning in fights. Also good is Huricane Pike, which gives you extra attack range and built-in Force staff to help you avoid attacks.
