# Strategies

-In Singleplayer, Marksman are commonly used against low platform situations, levels that don't contain too much camping spots suitable for cadets. As similar to cadet, marksmans can solo levels on their own despite not being able to aim much. Marksman are very useful for levels that contains objectives where you need to kill the enemy's cloning machine or defend your cloning machine. They are well known from the old version and until now since being the most cheapest and deadliest version of a cadet and gunner themsleves.

-In Multiplayer, marksmans are your best clones for doing huge amount of damage to most clones in the game. In defense, since their cost is 150 and you get 200 blue coins each round, it makes it super useful since you can spam them constantly. Best suitable combos for marksman spam would be setinel, wall or forcefield together. In attack, marksmans are used to destroy or damaged sandbags and f150 that are deployed in the front of the defender's base. Marksmans are also suitable for fighting front forcefields bases, although the improved version of it, ranger outclasses him by damage and health. This is a clone you can't ignore, marksmans can really help turn the tides over games too if played and planned right.

-Marksman may not be seen much in Challenges, but they are really helpful in gaining blue coins and damaging bosses for you. They can be found in Monster, Twins, Last Stand and Exterminator.

# Counters

-This clone is much tougher to deal with especially for most newbies of the game. Despite weak and easy to kill, marksmans can get to a point where they can outrange your clones and instantly one shot them before you could do anything (For weaker clones). Walking in to a marksman is not a recommended choice as it will take at least 25% of your health away before you could kill it (With tanky clones), your clone's health matters a lot, they are even much deadly in groups. The only way to counter marksman is to pay attention to the bullets and the time he takes to fire several amount of bullets at you, time your jumps correctly against the speedy bullets and shoot time by time. Another way is to use grenadiers or snipers, since marksmans don't have much health, they can be one shot killed by a single grenade and sniper bullet since they do damage that is higher than marksman's health.

# Trivia

-In the first version of the game, marksmans were called riffleman. It was changed once the newest version of it came in 2016.

-There is a weapon in one of the old version of the game with the hero inside, that is similar to marksman's weapon itself.
