We’ve added a new tower to The Rabbit Haul, and it’s a goody. The Sniper Violet is a tower that perfectly embodies the idea of beauty meeting precision. With its sharpshooting capabilities and the ability to give players the power of sight, the Sniper Violet is a formidable ally in your defense as it will ensure that no enemy is out of reach.
Inspiration
The Sniper Violet draws inspiration from the real-life violet flower, native to our home and known for its beauty and delicate scent. Violets are unique in how they disperse their seeds—by shooting them with remarkable precision, ensuring their growth in diverse environments. Similarly, the Sniper Violet tower excels at targeting enemies with pinpoint accuracy from afar. Its graceful yet deadly nature makes it a perfect homage to the violet flower's own strength and beauty.
Sniper Violet Stages
Seed Packet
Once you’ve unlocked the Sniper Violet in the upgrade store, Gerald’s Green Shop will stock Sniper Violet seed packets for purchase in your run.
Level 1
At this stage, the Sniper Violet cannot attack. You must water and protect it from harm for 2 nights before it will bloom and gain its sharpshooting abilities.
Level 2
At this stage, the Sniper Violet will defend your farm from raccoons, excelling at shooting enemies from afar!
Level 3A
The Sniper Violet is the first tower to offer 2 different final stages. The first one, the Mega Sniper, comes with a significant damage increase and the Shared Vision symbiosis effect.
The Shared Vision effect allows Sniper Violets (at level 2 and above) in direct horizontal or vertical line of sight to share their attack radius, allowing them to cover even more of the battlefield. Be careful, as planting crops or other towers in between this line of sight will break it!
Level 3B
The Camo Sniper has a lot to offer as well. It benefits from an attack speed boost and the ability to target the elusive Ghillie Raccoons. Additionally, the Camo Sniper grants other towers within a 3x3 area the Spotter effect.
The Spotter effect grants its benefactor the ability to also target Ghillie raccoons who are normally invisible to range towers. The effect also increases the towers' attack radius.
