Aika: Sniper

Precise, stealthy and fatal, the Sniper's (SEA version) or Rifleman's (NA version) well-aimed bullets pierce through the shadows, penetrating armor and dealing massive critical damage. Specializing in long range artillery support, the Sniper is particularly useful for ambushes as well as sneaking into enemy territories to assassinate or destroy. He excels as a hidden trump for a larger group of fighters, but can also hold his own in the battlefield with his powerful combat skills. Many of his attacks incapacitate enemies or lower their defenses, leaving them vulnerable to assault.

At higher levels, the Sniper gains the ability to shoot AoE shells as well as build fixed turrets which fire automatically, thereby increasing his deadliness. His range, dexterity and talent for picking off weak foes without attracting attention make him a valuable asset to any party.

After much experience in the field of combat and in honing his skills, the Sniper may become the elusive Buster (SEA version) or Sniper (NA version).

Possible Roles: Long-range DPS (Burst), Disabler, Stealth
