Luminous Cove is an Intermediate map in Bloons TD 6, introduced in version 44.0. The cove features tide pools and Mermonkey ruins. It is one of many hidden entrances to Monklantis.[1]
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
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 Pilots and Carrier Flagship. Luminous Cove can be beaten using guidelines below.
Basic Deflation strategies
Basic Apopalypse strategies
Basic Half Cash strategies
Basic Alternate Bloons Rounds strategies
Basic Impoppable strategies
Basic CHIMPS strategies
Due to the abundance of strategic water spots on Luminous Cove, certain water towers listed below excel.
Recommended towers and upgrades
| Name | Portrait | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier Flagship | 
|
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. Its platforms also allow an Arctic Wind to be placed on it that allows land-based supporting towers in strategic spots as well, further cementing its power. |
| Admiral Brickell | 
|
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. |
Easter eggs
If the Mermonkey is upgraded to one of its unique Tier 5 upgrades (Lord of the Abyss, Popseidon, and The Final Harmonic), a light will emit on the carving. Have all Tier 5 Mermonkeys on screen to fully unlock the Easter egg. Tap on the carving to open it up. Once complete, extra water space is revealed.
