I think it depends on the battle situation and on the weapons you have. There are very few specific battles where Marksman is really useful. But I use Marksman a lot more than I do Spies. I have 2 sets of the Robot with the Remote Control. The attack level for Marksman with my weaker Robot was just right for the recent ninja battles – KillerKea’s sweet spot – below the dodge value but above the ironclad value. In battles with the Shogun (using Samurai, Rainbird, Marksman), I would set ambush on Rainbird, who they always seemed to target. Marksman would reply each turn with a couple of shots along with the bonus damage from the Robot set to everyone. I was also able to use a similar tactic against the ninjas in the Chronicles caves (using Pigiana’s counter on Marksman).
However, I am aware that other players like to use Spies against specific foes (e.g. against ghosts) or make use of his healing abilities. But I think it comes down to the balance of birds you like in your team and the tactics you employ. Spies just never fit into my bird teams.
