Targeting option: Difference between revisions

→Strong tower priority: Please don't shove information into a space where it breaks the flow of the page. Also I don't think this is even true anymore due to how many abilities are being "recently" changed to follow the towers target priority instead of defaulting to strong.

'''Targeting option''', or simply targeting is a game mechanic in the [[Bloons TD (series)|''Bloons TD'' series]] introduced in [[Bloons Tower Defense 3|''Bloons Tower Defense 3'']] which towers use to determine which [[Bloon]] to attack in the case there is more than one within its [[range]]. This is a setting that the player can set individually for every tower in the map, and is shown in the same sub-menu in than its [[Upgrade|upgrades]].
