Ravine is an Expert map in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 23.0. It takes place at a ravine with a river running through it. The gap is spanned by three bridges, and there are medieval-themed objects scattered around it such as swords and shields.

Layout

There are two alternating entrances and four exits on this map. On odd rounds, the Bloons spawn on the right entrance, later splitting into the left and the right. On even rounds, the Bloons spawn on the left, likewise splitting up into different paths soon after entering the map. There are 3 bridges with 6 walls in addition to trees, significantly blocking the line of sight of towers. The low elevation of the water fully blocks all water towers placed there that cannot function over walls from attacking.

Strategy

Ravine is by consensus the second hardest map in BTD6, only after Bloody Puddles. The many line-of-sight blockers, in addition to the Bloons coming from alternating paths and splitting off from them, hinder the effectiveness of almost all strategies. The bottom-left space is optimal, as it is surrounded by all 4 lanes. Monkey Aces stand out on Ravine thanks to them being unimpeded by the line-of-sight blockers. Supports such as Relentless Glue are especially vital on Ravine, due to the need to keep Bloons/blimps in place for as long as possible to counter the diverging and short lanes.

Recommended towers and upgrades

Name	Portrait	Reasoning
Sky Shredder		Sky Shredder is extremely powerful in Ravine's late-game, thanks to its overcoming of the line-of-sight blockers. Its missiles can break through the outer layers of high-health blimps relatively quickly, and its darts do solid grouped damage to the insides. Pair it with a Stronger Stimulant for the best results, and cleanup towers such as Prince of Darkness work well with Sky Shredder thanks to them taking care of leaks that the darts can leave.
Prince of Darkness		Prince of Darkness, when placed at the hidden spot within the center-left trees, can constantly replenish its graveyard and perform solid cleanup and DDT damage. It pairs well with Sky Shredder and Corvus, both of which deal high raw damage and tend to leave stray Bloons that it can clean up.
Corvus		Spear trivializes most of the early game, with Ancestral Might defeating round 40 easily. Active management of him into the mid-game, farming mana while using spells when needed, allows for the saveup to many towers that will assist to this map's difficult late-game, such as Sky Shredder and Prince of Darkness. Coupled with Spiked Balls/Spiked Mines, he also simplifies the late game by deleting large about of RBE with Ancestral Might and Overload.
Spiked Balls, Spiked Mines		Ravine's map layout makes it easy for Bloons to leak, especially on the very short leftmost path. Spiked Balls and Spiked Mines do a good job tanking those Bloons, and they pair well with Corvus, who does tremendous mid-game and late-game damage but leaks Bloons from time to time.
Sauda		When placed at the rightmost point of the bottom-left space, Sauda gains coverage for 3 of the 4 lanes, making her a solid option for Ravine. The overlapping lanes at the middle and entrances enhance Sword Charge's power greatly, further amplifying her power. She is solid in the early-game, and when paired with stuns such as Relentless Glue, deals great amounts of damage in the late-game as well.

Easter Egg

There is a sword near the top of the map that will fly out towards the strongest Bloon on the screen after 24 clicks, dealing 3 damage to it.

The sword when the map launched was originally purely visual, but was planned from the beginning to deal damage.
