Line 19:

Etienne commands two drones that chase down and [[attack]] Bloons automatically. They operate similarly to [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]s on [[Pursuit (BTD6)|Pursuit]], being able to fly over [[line of sight]] blockers, but they can only target and pursue Bloons inside Etienne's [[range]]. Each drone shoots darts that deal 1 [[damage]] to up to 2 Bloons per shot, but cannot damage [[frozen]] Bloons or [[Lead Bloon (Battles 2)|Lead Bloon]]s and cannot target [[Camo Bloon (Battles 2)|Camo Bloon]]s. As he levels up, his drones' damage and pierce increase, he gains [[Camo detection]], he controls more drones at a time, and he unlocks additional perks and ways to attack with drones.

*Starting at level 2, he allows the player to see the opponent's [[cash]] and [[Bloon send]] queue.

*Starting at level 4, he gains unique buffs depending on his current targeting priority.

*Starting at level 5, he gains a UAV that passively grants all of the player's towers (including himself) a chance to ignore [[Bloon immunity|Bloon immunities]] with their attacks. At higher levels, it also grants all towers Camo detection and better odds of ignoring immunities.

*He has two [[Activated Ability|Activated Abilities]]:

Line 29:

Etienne uses drone [[sub-tower]]s to attack Bloons for him. Unlike other flying sub-towers, the drones can only target Bloons inside Etienne's [[range]]. He spawns two drones upon being placed, with a 1-second delay between each.

If there are any Bloons within Etienne's range, the drones will attempt to position themselves in front of their targets, similar to [[Pursuit (Battles 2)|Pursuit]]. If there are no visible targets within his range, each drone will move around his range at random. Each drone attacks its target by shooting darts with 2 [[pierce]] every 0.7 seconds that deal 1 [[Damage type|sharp-type]] [[damage]]. The drones' targeting ignores [[line of sight]] and their shots can travel over blockers. Which Bloons they target depends on Etienne's current targeting setting:

If there are any Bloons within Etienne's range, the drones will attempt to position themselves in front of their targets, similar to [[Pursuit (Battles 2)|Pursuit]]. If there are no visible targets within his range, each drone will move around his range at random. Each drone attacks its target by shooting darts with 3 [[pierce]] every 0.9 seconds that deal 1 [[Damage type|sharp-type]] [[damage]]. The drones' targeting ignores [[line of sight]] and their shots can travel over blockers. Which Bloons they target depends on Etienne's current targeting setting:
