About Sniper
Sniper is the Legendary answer to one question: what if every shot was a long one? Based on Shintarō Midorima from Kuroko no Basket, this Shooting Guard belongs to the Legendary tier, which takes 2% of normal Style Spins split among five styles, so Sniper itself is about 0.4% per spin, roughly one in 250. It also appears in Lucky Spins, where the wiki gives the tier 92%, about 18.4% for each Legendary.
Perfect Arc (C, 40 seconds) is a guaranteed long shot from anywhere on the opponent's half while facing the hoop, and it speeds up with each make. Quick Release (V, 50 seconds) is a fast shot for the 2-point area only. Both can be blocked. The awakening, Total Star Alignment, unlocks Full Court (B, one use), a jump-shot from your own half that drops in after a glasses-adjusting turn.
It has two personalized zones: Limitless, with greatly improved aim assist and longer range, and Quick Draw, with slight aim assist and a faster release. The wiki says Sniper has no defense and no movement or dribble moves, so shots are easy to predict and block. Its meta note calls it strong on paper but mediocre without the right zones.
