Etienne is a monkey character introduced in Bloons TD 6. He is a French drone operator who uses his numerous dart-firing drones to pop Bloons.

Gameplay

[edit | edit source]

Etienne is a Hero who doesn't deal much damage (at first), but has immense support utility thanks to his UAV passive ability that gives every tower on the map Camo Bloon detection. In Battles 2, he also gains a passive ability to either see what Bloon sends an opponent has queued, allowing the player to react accordingly, or temporarily stopping attacks to restore and generate extra lives, depending on the Hero chosen. He is about average in terms of price and levels up quickly.

In Bloons TD 6, he starts off with one drone at level 1, while in Battles 2 he starts with two.

General information

Appearance

[edit | edit source]

Etienne is a somewhat short monkey with brown fur and tan skin. He wears a pair of round goggles that obscures his eyes, a tan pilot hat with a yellow triangle emblem, an orange long-sleeve shirt, a striped blue scarf, navy blue pants and a pair of red shoes. In Bloons TD 6 and Battles 2, his appearance changes as he levels up:

  • At level 3, he gains a green-yellow satchel on his left side and his remote control gains an additional antennae.
  • At level 7, his remote control becomes larger and more advanced, his goggles turn infrared, and the seams on his pilot hat turn orange.
  • At level 10, his pilot hat gains a French flag pin and a red antennae-like attachment, with his remote control turning yellow.
  • At level 20, his pilot hat and shirt become a light navy blue, his hat gains an additional red pin, and he replaces his remote control with a yellow laptop adorned with stickers depicting a red circle, an orange triangle, and what seems to be a blue diamond.

Personality and traits

[edit | edit source]

Etienne is is usually focused and observant, always trying to maintain focus on his drones on the battlefield (and becoming audibly annoyed when distracted). He is very protective of his drones, often resisting attempts by Engineer Monkeys to upgrade them.[2] Still, he has been stated to be "very talented" in his field.[3] He speaks in a prominent French accent, with his several voice lines in the language implying he is fluent in both French and English.

He also loves cats, having one of his own (named "Crêpe") and getting along very well with Ezili. Their respective cats are also friendly towards each other.[4]
