*article should update to include not only the easiest maps (for highest round legitimately possible), but reaching the highest rounds on all map formats (due to the friends rounds feature)

**maps with lots of walls allow apex to excel

*is druid paragon better than a jitsu or two in footprint without wrath ability

*bottom path skywarden can slow bads (will likely get patched soon)

*portable lakes pro are overlappable and have upgrade that reduces tower footprint, but reduces bloonjitsu range so may consider destroyer spam instead

*tech bots/tech bot primes to mitigate lag preventing ability activations

[[Logs]] is the recommended map, as it has an abundance of good placements, has a layout with many intersections and is composed entirely of straight lines, and is the 2nd longest map (after [[Scrapyard]], which severely lacks space and has many line of sight blockers). Contrary to popular belief, Logs has enough space for farming, being able to fit 38 {{B|Banana Farm|BTD6}}s, and optimal farming strategies can reach over $50 million spare by the time the final setup has been completed, with certain farming strategies on Logs reaching over $300 million, though this amount is almost never needed in Freeplay. Additionally, Logs has enough space for a full Ninja army with excellent overlaps, making it the best map for ultra late game no matter the strategy.

[[Three Mines 'Round]] is shorter than Logs, ~~also~~ has an abundance of good placements. It's more beginner friendly than Logs in the sense that the Bananaite crystals on the map can give you extra money after some rounds and this income also bypasses typical CHIMPS rules. The track mostly loops on itself, making towers with high pierce extremely attractive.

[[Three Mines 'Round]] is shorter than Logs, and similarly has an abundance of good tower placements. It's more beginner friendly than Logs in the sense that the Bananaite crystals on the map can give you extra money after some rounds and this income also bypasses typical CHIMPS rules. The track mostly loops on itself, making towers with high pierce extremely attractive.

[[Resort]] is also shorter than Logs, but its plentiful space means that when using [[Bloonjitsu (BTD6)|Bloonjitsus]] + [[Shinobi Tactics (BTD6)|Shinobi Tactics]], it is only a bit worse than Logs for Freeplay. However, no matter the strategy, Logs remains superior. Resort currently holds the round record for [[Easy]] mode Freeplay with [[Power]]s (Round 969, though using time stops, Legend of the Night, and Ezili or Navarch rebuys this can go on infinitely), but Logs holds the round record for [[CHIMPS]] Freeplay (Round 562) and powerless Easy mode Freeplay (Round 720). It is worth noting that both of the aformentioned records were set in v52 where the Ice paragon was extremely overpowered and bugged, leading to such rounds now being unachievable.
