Manual Targeting

Manual Targeting (also referred as Selectable Target, Selectable Deployment) is a target priority added to Bloons TD 6 in Version 29.0, initially for Cleansing Foam, Bloon Trap with Larger Service Area, and Obyn Greenfoot's Wall of Trees. It is a secondary target option that adds a green button on the main target priorities. When this targeting priority is interacted, it allows certain On-Track attacks to follow a single targetable location. On-Track attacks default on Close and can be retargeted anywhere within the tower's immediate range, including range given by range buffs. If target location is outside range, which is only possible by means of losing range buffs, the target location defaults back to Close. An exception is Necromancer: Unpopped Army and Prince of Darkness, which can only ever be targeted directly onto track.

In Bloons TD Battles 2, it was introduced in Version 1.3.0, for Cleansing Foam, Bloon Trap (all crosspaths), Obyn's Brambles and Wall of Trees, and Ocean Guardian's Living Coral.

Trivia

• Ninja Kiwi mentioned "manual targeting" in their Version 1.7.1 patch notes post for Bloons TD Battles 2 when addressing a nerf to Bloon Trap that now requires middle crosspath for aforementioned targeting priority.
