What Does Elite Targeting do in BTD6? – Answered

Targeting skills of the Elite!

Tower Defense games have been historically present since the early 90s, but they have witnessed a great surge in popularity with the release of RTS games like Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos, which had their own map editors that everyone could use to make their own maps, and a lot of mods for the core games. Then, the (now late) Flash games also had their own fair share of Tower Defense games which probably only 90s kids would remember. Nowadays, the Bloons franchise is the go-to place for many Tower Defense fans, both young and old. Bloons indeed has quite a few interesting mechanics in the game and today’s subject is Elite Targeting and what it does in BTD6.
