→Bloons TD 6: I think the word is "latter" as it the complementary opposite of "former" as in "as in the former". Also, corvus is a hard one to tackle. Btw, isn't pirate hook like on strong always? Pirate isn't changed I don't think? Unless I missed something, wiki article only says "grabblable"

{{Lede image|BTD6 tack paragon placeholder art.png|Upgrade menu of a tower in ''Bloons TD 6'', the targeting option is shown right below the tower's portrait, in this case '''''First''''' is current targeting.

Future Targeting option page :D
'''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]].
== Mechanics ==
In the ''Bloons TD'' series, towers can choose between different targeting options to suit the player's strategy, for most towers, the standard options are:
* '''First''': The tower will attack the Bloon that is the closest to the exit (in terms of track length remaining). If there are more than one track in range with Bloons on them, the Bloons position is addressed individually for each track. This is the default option for new towers.
* '''Last''': The tower will attack the Bloon that is the closest to the entrance (in terms of track length).
* '''Close''': The tower will attack the Bloon that is the closest to the tower.
* '''Far''': The tower will attack the Bloon that is the furthest to the tower.
* '''Strong''': The tower will attack the Bloon with the highest amount of layers. In the case of a tie, it will prioritize First among those Bloons.
* '''Weak''': The tower will attack the Bloon with the least amount of layers.
The targeting option does not guarantee that the tower's projectile will hit the targeted Bloon, only that the tower will shoot in the target's general direction but the projectile can hit other Bloons if they collide with the projectile during its travel.
Towers with non-standard will be noted on their respective game section.

== ''Bloons Tower Defense'' / ''Bloons Tower Defense 2'' ==
In the first games of the series towers did not have targeting options available so towers that can change direction always target ''First''.
== ''Bloons Tower Defense 3'' ==
All towers can now select between ''First'' and ''Last'' targeting option, allowing [[Dart Monkey]], [[Boomerang]], [[Spike-o-pult]], [[Cannon]] and [[Super Monkey]] to shoot in different direction. Although present on the menu, it does not have any effect on [[Tack Shooter]], [[Ice Ball]] and [[Monkey Beacon]].
== ''Bloons TD 4'' ==

{{Empty|List which towers have standard targeting options and elaborate on the ones that doesn't, if any. Check for any difference between versions and BMC / Battles, if there are enough differences between the spinoffs, move them to their own section.}}
== ''Bloons TD 6'' ==
{{Incomplete|Btw, where to put those "secondary targeting priorities"? also don't think the aoe target close things are needed here, but sure I guess? And what about sacrifice targetings, is it necessary?}}
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]].

=== Camo prioritization ===
{{incomplete|Add camo prio button image}}
{{Research|Determine how Camo and Marked prioritization works on Desperados when both are active.}}
Most non-hero towers that gain Camo detection via an upgrade also gain an additional targeting option that forces them to attack any [[Camo Bloon (BTD6)|Camo Bloon]] before any other target. If there are more than one valid Camo target, the tower will follow its regular targeting option to select between them. The players can enable or disable it by clicking on the Camo Bloon icon next to the tower's portrait (see image above).
For example if a tower which deals 2 damage per shot is set to ''Strong'', has Camo prioritization active and there are a Camo Red Bloon, a Camo Green Bloon and a MOAB on range, the order on which it will attack will be the Camo Green first, reducing it to a Camo Red, then it will shot whichever of the two Camo Reds is ahead on the track, shoot the last Camo Red third, and finally the MOAB.
===Marked prioritization===
{{incomplete|Add marked prio button image}}
{{Research|Determine how Camo and Marked prioritization works on Desperados when both are active.}}
Desperados have an additional prioritization option to target [[Bounty Hunter|Marked]] Bloons which is granted to all Desperados if it is a Bounty Hunter or Golden Justice on the map.
=== Strong tower priority ===
Towers set to ''Strong'' targeting will attack Bloons in the following order:
# [[Dreadrock Bloon]]
# [[Bloonarius (BTD6)|Bloonarius]], [[Lych]], [[Lych-soul]], [[Vortex (BTD6)|Vortex]], [[Dreadbloon (BTD6)|Dreadbloon]], [[Phayze]], and [[Blastapopoulos (BTD6)|Blastapopoulos]].
