[Shattered] Which crown upgrade as Sniper? (lemmy.ca)

I've gotten to demon halls a handful of times, but always died in the first few floors. This is my first time making it as Sniper (or Huntress at all, actually).

I have a +6 Grim crossbow, a projecting spirit bow, a ring of arcana, a +2 ring of haste, and +1 plate armour of swiftness. I also have a horn of plenty which I intend to transmute, and rings of tenacity, might, and evasion which I plan to sell.

Which crown upgrade do I want? I'm not sure which one plays best for this build. Does anyone have any other advice for not dying in the Halls?

Update: Yog is dead. Thank you so much for the help! I went Hawk and dumped the rest of my scrolls into Haste for maximum kiting.

Hawk can blind and cripple enemies. It also can dodge the first 8 attacks made against it.

This is amazing in the Halls for fighting Scorpios and Evil Eyes. The hawk can outright kill a Scorpio because Scorpios don't attack in melee range, so the hawk closes the gap while dodging everything, then cripples the Scorpio and hits it with melee. Also, you can catch up and melee it or hit it with ranged weapons.

Same with Evil Eyes. It blinds them so they can't zap you. They will eventually zap the hawk when it runs out of free dodges, but I have hawks last until it naturally time-out many times, scouting and crippling things.

It can take a little bit of micromanagement to use well, but it's really not bad.
