'''Luminous Cove''' is an [[Intermediate]] [[map]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|44.0}}. The cove features [[wp:tide pool|tide pool]]s and [[Mermonkey]] ruins. It is one of many hidden entrances to [[Monklantis]].<ref>{{cite|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/NinjaKiwiOfficial/comments/1enng66/whats_up_at_ninja_kiwi_9th_august_2024_blog/|title=What's Up At Ninja Kiwi - 9th August 2024 Blog|publisher=Reddit|retrieved=29 aug 2024}}</ref> | '''Luminous Cove''' is an [[Intermediate]] [[map]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in {{BTD6 version|44.0}}.

==Layout== | ==Layout== | ||
Luminous Cove has 2 alternating lanes, with the Bloons coming from the top-left and exiting at the bottom-right on odd rounds and from the top-right and exiting at the bottom-left on even rounds. On all rounds, Bloons take one loop in the middle before exiting. The pre-waterfall parts of both lanes lie at a higher elevation than most of the map, preventing most towers from reaching there. Most of the map is filled with water, with the central water spot being particularly strategic due to being surrounded by the central loop. | |||
==Strategy== | ==Strategy== | ||
Due to the surroundings of its strategic central loop being filled with water, water-based strategies are optimal for Luminous Cove. The long portions of the track that lie at higher elevations, while being blocked off by line-of-sight for most of the map, can be overcome with towers such as [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilots]] and [[Carrier Flagship (BTD6)|Carrier Flagship]]. Luminous Cove can be beaten using guidelines below. | |||

The [[#Easter eggs|Mermonkey secret]] only opens up new water placement for the rest of the game. For a large cost, it's only worth it for maximizing cash generation of bottom path [[Monkey Buccaneer (BTD6)|Monkey Buccaneer]]s, as well as maximizing placements for water-based Paragons ([[Navarch of the Seas]] and [[Nautic Siege Core]]). | |||
Due to the abundance of strategic water spots on Luminous Cove, certain water towers listed below excel. | |||

|Flagship, with its ability to overcome line-of-sight blockers and attack Bloons throughout the map, is especially powerful on Luminous Cove. It tears through the mid-game and 80s, retains great power into the 90s, and grants a ~17% buff to all water towers, which is crucial on this map. | |||

|[[Admiral Brickell (BTD6)|Admiral Brickell]] | |||
|[[File:BTD6 AdmiralBrickellPortrait.png|x50px]] | |||
|Brickell's synergy with water towers makes her exceptionally powerful on this map. Her Naval Tactics ability greatly aids surrounding water towers with the most difficult rounds, her +1 pierce to all water towers is very helpful, and her Mega Mines adds solid popping power to her own arsenal. | |||
