Three Mines 'Round is among the easiest of the Beginner maps due to the loop being very long and giving most towers 3–4 chances to target Bloons.<!-- Notably, the extent of the [[Desperado (BTD6)|Desperado]]'s range perfectly covers the full loop, allowing it to maximize the potential of [[Quickdraw (BTD6)|Quickdraw]] and [[Bullseye (BTD6)|Bullseye]]. - I think it's nice and all to point out how Desperado's range is funny here, but the loop clumps bloons very effectively and Desperado benefits less from that than pretty much any other tower in the game. --> It can be beaten with general strategies listed here.
Three Mines 'Round is among the easiest of the Beginner maps due to the loop being very long and giving most towers 3–4 opportunities to target Bloons. While the coverage at the middle of the big loop is tempting, this location can be prone to chasing unless the tower has an area-of-effect (such as a range-buffed [[Inferno Ring (BTD6)|Inferno Ring]]). Instead, some of the optimal spots are near the parts of the lane that intersect.

The cheapest crystal is almost always worth harvesting, as it is more cost-efficient than early {{BTD6|Banana Farm}}s on Medium. Outside of CHIMPS, Deflation and Half Cash, though, the other crystals are not as efficient as traditional farming methods (even on Impoppable), and generally should only be removed if the space or open sight lines are needed. The last crystal especially is too expensive and leaves the player in a deficit for too long to be worth it outside of CHIMPS challenge runs. It is generally better to invest in some crystals during easy rounds and ignore the more expensive crystals.
