==Layout==

This map has 8 paths in total, with 4 ~~of each~~ being active ~~at a time~~. Each of the four corners of the map has two paths starting there and ending at the diagonally opposite corner. Every path on this map has the same shape as a different path, except ~~reversed~~. For example, the two paths starting at the top-left and ending at the bottom-right are identically shaped as the two paths starting at the bottom-right and ending at the top-left.

This map has 8 paths in total, with 4 being active per round. The presence of 8 paths is shown by the 8 [[Pre-game Prep]] piles on this map. Each of the four corners of the map has two paths starting there and ending at the diagonally opposite corner. Every path on this map has the same shape and a different path, except those mirrored paths. For example, the two paths starting at the top-left and ending at the bottom-right are identically shaped as the two paths starting at the bottom-right and ending at the top-left.

Bloons enter from the top-left and the top-right on round 1, and the locations of the Bloon spawns rotate by 90° clockwise every round, thus the Bloons spawn and exit at the same spots every 4 rounds. The barrack in the middle blocks all Bloons, including blimps, from being attacked, significantly increasing this map's difficulty. The stack on top of the barrack can be removed for $2000, revealing a placement location which can fit all towers except the [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]].

==Strategy==

Due to 2 lanes being active each round, the spawn points changing every round, the intrusive barrack in the middle, and the rather erratic movement of Bloons through the mini-loops, X Factor is generally seen as the hardest [[Advanced]] map in BTD6. All parts of the game pose challenges, with Bloons having the ability to leak suddenly due to their erratic movement throughout the game. Global range towers often suffer from having to defend 2 lanes at once, while limited-range towers cannot affect half of the map are more affected by the erratic movement of the Bloons.
