~~Towers~~ with ~~Good pierce are useful~~ on this map, ~~because~~ the ~~tracks are~~ near to ~~each other{{empty}~~}

Ancient Portal is widely seen as the easiest Advanced map, even easier than [[Cornfield]] and [[Off The Coast]]. This is due to long track length of the top-right to bottom-left path, the flexibility of strategy options from the interchangeable lanes, the bends on the top-right, the wide coverage of the top-right & bottom-right achieved by towers between them, and the additional bends in the bottom-left that allows for even more good placements. Unlike nearly every other Advanced map, Ancient Portal can be beaten with relative ease using general guidelines below.

The unique layout of Ancient Portal, with many bends and 2 entirely separated parts of one lane, allows certain strategies (listed below) to excel.

===Recommended towers and upgrades===

|The many bends on both the top-right and bottom-left is optimal for Pop and Awe. Align the portal to teleport Bloons to the left if using Pop and Awe, as the longer track length and ability to retarget to the bends there enhance Pop and Awe's power further. It deals colossal damage, especially when paired with [[Striker Jones (BTD6)|Striker Jones]] and [[Relentless Glue (BTD6)|Relentless Glue]]'s stun bonuses. Use [[First Strike Capability (BTD6)|First Strike Capability]] or [[Spike Storm (BTD6)|Spike Storm]] to cover Pop and Awe's weakness against the BAD.

|The single-lane nature of this map and the long top-right to bottom-left lane aid Perma-Spike greatly. It effectively guarantees victory by tanking the Bloons that towers may leak, in addition to covering the DDT weakness of towers such as Pop and Awe.

|The abundance of bends on the top-right and bottom-left greatly enhance Overdrive and Tack Zone's power. When placed near a bend, they do solid damage throughout the mid-game and late-game. Use [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo]], [[Embrittlement (BTD6)|Embrittlement]], [[Berserker Brew (BTD6)|Berserker Brew]], and [[Primary Training (BTD6)|Primary Training]] to further maximize their damage.
