'''Etienne''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|20.0}}. He can be unlocked for {{BTD6 mm|5000}} starting at [[level]] 25.

Etienne does not attack directly, instead controlling drones that seek out [[Bloon]]s and shoot darts at them. The drones 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]]. Etienne starts with one drone and gains more as he levels up, up to a maximum of four at levels 19 and 20. Starting at level 8, his UAV flies around the map in a circle and grants [[Camo detection]] to all [[tower]]s like a global [[Radar Scanner (BTD6)|Radar Scanner]]. His Drone Swarm ability summons four additional drones for a short time, and his UCAV ability temporarily converts the UAV into a combat vehicle that fires swarms of homing missiles. At level 20, the UAV becomes a UCAV permanently, and the ability instead increases the UCAV's [[pierce]] and [[damage]] and allows it to pop all Bloon types temporarily. His main drawback is that he cannot pop [[Lead Bloon (BTD6)|Lead Bloon]]s without the UCAV and cannot pop [[DDT (BTD6)|DDT]]s at all until level 20.

Etienne uses Drones for his attacks. Each drone moves within Etienne's attack range, and will move to a random position if no targets are available, but will attempt to move in front of the target if deemed feasible.

Etienne deploys his 2nd drone at Level 7, his 3rd drone at Level 8, and his 4th drone at Level 19.

Drone Targeting is is arranged as such depending on Etienne's Targeting, in deployment order:

*Divide And Conquer (obtained at Level 7) - Strong, First, Strong, First

 

Drone Swarm will additionally deploy 4 temporary Drones with the same battle stats as the permanent drones, with 1 on First, 2 on Strong, and 1 on Last.

 

The Drone's Targeting is indicated by color of the triangle-shaped light. ETN's UFOs uses the inside color for the indicator, while Book Wyrm's dragons have their eye color reveal their Targeting.

At Level 8, Etienne will deploy a UAV, which grants Camo detection to all towers on the map.

 

Please note that Phayze's "Radar Jam" will disable the UAV, forcing towers to rely on natural Camo detection. Etienne's UCAV has natural Camo detection to get around this issue.

Drone Swarm is unlocked at Level 3. Upon use, Etienne will summon forth 4 temporary drones that have windup before they start moving. The temporary drones share the same damage stats as the permanent drones across all Levels, but have their own targeting settings independent of Etienne's own targeting setting, with 1 on First, 1 on Last, and 2 on Strong. The temporary drones will be put away after a duration depending on Level, starting at 18.5 seconds at Level 3 and going up by 0.5 seconds per Level to a maximum of 27 seconds. Drone Swarm has an initial cooldown of 80 seconds, reduced to 55 seconds at Level 6 and then 50 seconds at Level 16.

UCAV, unlocked at Level 10, has Etienne's UAV, for 18 seconds, come down and equip itself with missiles that it will proceed to fire rapidly. The missiles will fire in a spread with First targeting 10 at a time every 0.6 seconds. Upon landing a hit, the missile explodes with a 20 unit blast radius, with 25 Pierce inflicting 2 Damage with Explosion Type. This attack innately hits Camo and can't be circumvented by Phayze's "Radar Jam." UCAV's cooldown starts at 90 seconds.

 

Level 13 reduces the cooldown to 75 seconds. Level 15 increases the duration to 20 seconds, and improves Pierce to 30 and Damage to 4. Level 17 improves the Damage to 7.

 

At Level 20, as the UAV permanently upgrades to the UCAV having its initial Level 10 stats (2 Damage, 25 Pierce) when the ability is inactive, using the UCAV ability simply improves the missiles for duration to have its Level 17 stats except with the missiles now having 10 Damage and Normal Type damage, allowing it to damage DDTs without external aid.
