Polyphemus is average among Intermediate maps in terms of difficulty. | Polyphemus is average among Intermediate maps in terms of difficulty. Using the eye is recommended, as despite the cost needed to keep it open, the buffs it grants to towers on it and its position inside the loop make this strategy well worth it. Land towers are best placed immediately above and below the eye, as these spots take good advantage of the loop around the eye. With these tips in mind, Polyphemus can be defeated using general strategies listed here. | ||

Its platforms can additionally provide two positions for small land towers inside the loop, but this does not allow them to benefit from the eye's buffs. If using Flagship, put it (along with most towers) in the eye, pair it with [[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]], and use the 5-2-0 crosspath, which provides for an easier mid-game with [[Destroyer (BTD6)|Destroyer]], does more overall damage on this map, and grants Flagship partial DDT popping power. | ||
