Skeleton Sniper

The Skeleton Sniper is an uncommon post-Plantera Hardmode Dungeon enemy who shoots from long range, dealing massive amounts of damage, that will likely cause an instant death if having low health. It approaches slowly and fires after a brief pause as soon as it has a clear line-of-sight to the player, even from off-screen.

The Skeleton Sniper will mostly appear in Dungeon sections where The Rusted Legion enemies spawn.

It is immune to the Poisoned and Venom debuffs.

It is one of the few enemies that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.

Tips

 * The Sniper must pause again after being hit, so rapid-firing long-range weapons at it will prevent it from attacking.
 * A good way to tell if you're in the right place is if there are Rusty Armored Bones.

Trivia

 * The Skeleton Sniper appears to be using a different gun than the Sniper Rifle it drops.
