The Sniper Bot is a technology card from Act III of Inscryption. It is part of the player's starting deck.
Strategy[]
The Sniper Bot is an effective offensive unit. Despite its low Power and Health for its moderate cost, it is capable of attacking any space on the field courtesy of its Sniper Sigil. As a result, it relies heavily on where it is placed, as the further to the right it is positioned the later it will attack. This makes it a very strategic card to have in play, and if powered up correctly can be incredibly powerful.
Good Upgrades
- Gemification buffs offer a general improvement.
- Touch of Death allows the card to destroy any opponent on the board.
- Unkillable allows the card to be played again when it is defeated.
- Bifurcated and Trifurcated Strike allow for multiple attacks.
- Overclocking the card gives it a boost in Power; be wary of where it is placed.
Bad Upgrades
- Sigils that move the card into danger, such as Sprinter or Burrower.
- Airborne offers little benefit and only serves to reduce the cards offensive potential.
- Transformer removes the base Sigil and greatly reduces its usefulness.
Trivia[]
- If Sniper Bot is on the enemy side of the board, you are still able to use it. You are even able to shoot at the Sniper Bot itself.
- If Sniper Bot has Bifurcated/Trifurcated Strike and is put on the far left or right side of the board, then it can only shoot once/twice due to how the sigil works.
