== ''Bloons TD 6'' ==

In ''Bloons TD 6'' the targeting of the tower takes into account the line of sight mechanics, ignoring any Bloon that the tower is not able to see. When placed, all towers with standard targeting options default to First and are unable to target [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloons]].
