Spa Pits is considered to be the | Spa Pits is considered to be the 4th easiest map in BTD6, only behind [[Logs]], [[Resort]], and [[Three Mines 'Round]]. It is extremely long, has plenty of overlap, and has a compact layout that allows towers to maximize their pierce and range. However, the somewhat lackluster space for towers prevents it from being optimal for [[Freeplay]]. Water towers excel further on this map, thanks to the central water space. As a result, water-based strategies are highly recommended, though a great variety of strategies work. Save at least one of the spots adjacent to the central pool for a {{BTD6|Monkey Village}}, as {{BTD6|Jungle Drums}} is an extremely versatile upgrade that is pivotal for all strategies. With general guidelines, Spa Pits can be beaten easily. | ||
