| ~ BTDB2 description |
Etienne is a Hero in the game Bloons TD Battles 2, released in the Version 4.0 update. He is a drone operator who launches flying attack drones.
At base, Etienne operates two drones at once. Each drone independently flies around the range of Etienne, and shoots darts that each pop up to 2 bloons and attack every 0.7s. Drones follow the bloons according to their targeting priorities, which are determined by Etienne's current targeting priority. He starts with First targeting and can be switched to Divide and Conquer. He gains a third drone at Level 11 and a fourth drone at Level 19.
Etienne gains much more support utilities in Battles 2. At Level 2, he gains a spy drone that reveals the current cash and bloon queues of the opponent, allowing the player to anticipate the opponent's actions. Level 6 adds a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that grants a chance for all towers on screen to damage any bloon type, Level 7 applies camo detection to all towers on screen, and further levels increase chance of popping all bloon types, Level 15 guaranteeing popping of all bloon types. Additionally, he is uniquely able to voice out warnings in advance against notable bloon rushes, such as Camo, Regrow, and MOAB-class.
He has two activated abilities: Drone Swarm (Level 3+) and UCAV (Level 10+). Drone Swarm temporarily adds 4 extra drones. UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) drops down at lower altitude for a limited time to regularly deploy 9 seeking missiles at bloons. Level 20 upgrades the UCAV into a Perma-UCAV, which permanently has the Level 10 UCAV strength but alters the ability to unleash significantly stronger missiles.
He costs way cheaper than BTD6 to place in-game. To unlock him, he requires a one-off purchase of 
3000.
He costs $650 to place in-game.
Hero Alts[]
Beetienne[]
| “ | This enthusiastic apiarist is as at home popping bloons as he is creating tasty, healing honey. | ” |
| ~ BTDB2 description |
Beetienne is a Hero Alt of Etienne exclusive to Bloons TD Battles 2, released in the Version 4.4.
At base, Beetienne controls a swarm of bees that seek and attack bloons. Bees deal 3 damage and have 1 pierce. At Level 2, he gains Making Honey targeting priority. While Making Honey, Beetienne stops attacking and produces lives every 3 seconds. Life production increases as Beetienne keeps leveling up.
Beetienne has 2 abilites: Defend the Hive (Level 3+) and Auxiliary Hives (Level 10+). Defend the Hive ability summons 2 extra swarms of bees and increases damage and attack speed of all bees. While the ability is active, Beetienne stops Making Honey. Auxiliary Hives ability creates permanent beehives that house aggressive swarms at the cost of your lives.
He costs $650 to place in-game. He is unlocked with 40,000 Etienne XP and 5,000.

Targeting Priorities[]
Targeting Priorities (Etienne)[]
Level 19 Etienne with all 8 drones of various target priorities
Etienne has three different targeting modes. Initially, he will only receive First and Divide and Conquer, but additionally receives Zone Defense unlocked at Level 11. First sets all drones to target first. Divide and Conquer sets the first and fourth drones to target First, and the second and third drones to target Strong. Zone Defense sets the first drone to target First, second to target Strong, third to target Last and the fourth to target Close. Upon activating the Drone Swarm ability, two of the extra drones target Strong, while the remaining two drones target First and Last.
| Divide and Conquer | Zone Defense | First | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drone 1 | First | First | First |
| Drone 2 | Strong | Strong | First |
| Drone 3 | Strong | Last | First |
| Drone 4 | First | Close | First |
Etienne's drones will change the colour of the small triangular button on their top side:
- Blue = First
- Yellow = Strong
- Green = Last
- Purple = Close
Targeting Priorities (Beetienne)[]
Beetienne's targeting priorities are much the same as normal Etienne, but unlocks his special targeting priorities much later. He only unlocks one bee swarm by default, a second bee swarm at Level 11 that unlocks Divide and Conquer, and Level 19 grants a third bee swarm that also unlocks Zone Defense. More importantly, he unlocks Making Honey at Level 2.
He also gets a non-functional targeting button at Level 2 that is locked on First.

Strategy[]
Summary (Etienne)[]
|
This section is incomplete. You can help by expanding it. |
Etienne is very versatile, yet very beginner-friendly because of the reduced necessity to deal with Camo Bloons. He opens up lots of strategies. His Drone Spy unlocked at Level 2 is beneficial for anticipating the opponent's rushes, and also teaches beginners how opponents rush you.
Summary (Beetienne)[]
|
This section is incomplete. You can help by expanding it. |
Beetienne switches out damage resistance countermeasures with a weaker "Camo Blocker", improved single-target damage, and most importantly, life regeneration. Towards the early stages of the game, generate lives with Making Honey once a defense is super solid (e.g. Blade Shooter early-game), and occasionally use Bee Swarm if defenses are struggling enough for life regeneration to not keep up. Towards the late-game, invest in extra beehives to boost his DPS once his swarms are ready to come out.
Tips[]
- Both Etiennes have weak early-games on their own. Pair it with strong group-popping and spaced-popping.
Tips (Etienne)[]
- Placement of Etienne is usually best placed in a position of a lot of range coverage, as his drones do decent DPS.
- The Level 2 Etienne's drone spy allows for spying activity of the opponent's cash and bloon queue. Newer or inexperienced players can use this information to study an experienced player's playstyle. Experienced players will be able to better react in advance to an opponent's actions in battle.
- To find out the opponent's eco as an Etienne player, watch for the next eco cycle and roughly calculate the cash gain after the eco cycle. Note that cash spying can only round up to the nearest $100 if the opponent's cash is above $1000, which hinders knowledge of the precise eco quantities.
- Some players will try to stockpile a lot of cash to then send a gigantic rush. Do be prepared for a large rush, but also note that Farm players may also hold onto high cash to buy an expensive T4 or T5 Farm upgrade instead; be aware of the context of a high cash stockpile.
- Etienne will also make voicelines that note incoming dangerous rushes, including against typical R11-16 rushes like Camo Leads and Regrow rushes. This helps alert Etienne players in advance about deadly rushes.
- Use the UCAV in order to clean up and wipe bloons.
- Some strategies entirely depend on Etienne to counter Camo. A good example is Druid-Farm-Alch.
- Because the Level 7 upgrade of Etienne can be expensive, Spactory is a good tower to pair with if not wishing to manually buy Level 7 Etienne. This is where some Etienne-Spactory loadouts such as Bomb-Farm-Spactory can take advantage of this knowledge.
- Buying Level 7 is quite expensive, so place Etienne early so that the global camo detection buff afforded by R12 will be cheaper to manually buy if necessary.
- R1 Etienne makes the Level 7 upgrade cost $2424 on R12. R2 Etienne's manual purchase of Level 7 on R12 costs about $3000 (about $720 more).
- Etienne gets his Level 3 naturally on R5 if he is placed on R1. On R4, his Level 3 will cost just $67, which is sometimes worth it to survive part of R4 whilst carrying over into R5.
Tips (Beetienne)[]
- Remember to switch to Making Honey once the defense stops consistently losing lives. Sometimes, you may save more lives keeping Beetienne's bees actively attacking bloons.
- Beetienne's Level 7 is not a decamo, but instead acts like a Camo Blocker (akin to Grow Blocker except for Camos), preventing Camo properties from working in his range. Placing towers close to him is recommended.
- Like Ezili's Sacrificial Totem, Beetienne's beehive ability synergizes with Bomb Blitz's passive ability by activating it on demand.
- The best loadouts for Beetienne are similar compared to Etienne, however Beetienne is more placement-dependent in his Camo Blocker at Level 7+ than Etienne's universal camo detection.

With that being said, we would like to make one very small adjustment to his ability, which we don’t expect will have much of an impact on his viability. Etienne provides so much utility that he doesn’t need to have strong DPS, and it does feel like his level 3 ability stretches on for longer than necessary. | ” |

- Level 3-15 Drone Swarm cooldown increased from 45 to 60s.
- Level 16+ Drone Swarm cooldown increased from 40 to 45s.

Example of BTDB2 Mobile on iPhone SE 2 with right-sided spy drone UI on right-sided player's side of the screen

Trivia[]
- Unlike in BTD6, Etienne is seen standing.
- Etienne's ETN skin from BTD6 also makes a cameo in Clan Wars with one of the purchasable island cosmetics.
- Etienne is the first hero returning from BTD6 to not debut in the order that other heroes appeared. Admiral Brickell would've been after the release of Adora if not for Etienne.
- Etienne is the second hero to not have a skin at launch, the first being Adora.
- Before his release, Etienne's hat appeared in Smudge Catt Ezili's Season 11 showcase.
