Leader-negotiator

2. Quirk: any (except the lone wolf));
3. Skills: automatic weapons, command, lick or tough, trade;

A sniper is a mandatory member of the team. Snipers are quite slow, but precise. They can inflict heavy damage with a single shot. The effect can be amplified with critical hits. However, it is important to remember that this is a relatively vulnerable character and should be protected. As soon as the opportunity arises, equip them with a short weapon as well (e.g. a pistol), which can be used in case of trouble.

1. Background story: goat killer;
2. Quirk: kamikaze or serial killer;
