'''Lotus Island''' is a [[Beginner]] [[map]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in [[Bloons TD 6 v19.0|version 19.0]]. ~~This map features five lotus plants that can be interacted with to release their pollen pods~~, stunning nearby [[Bloon]]s temporarily. More specifically, it stuns all Bloons within 40 distance units for 3 seconds, or [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s for 1 second. Each plant has a 180-second cooldown (which can be reset by [[Rejuv Potion]]) and starts the game with a ~~full cooldown before it can be used~~.

'''Lotus Island''' is a [[Beginner]] [[map]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]'', introduced in [[Bloons TD 6 v19.0|version 19.0]]. It takes place on an archipelago, with a large, central island.

Lotus Island features a stone podium and five lotus plants, all of which block line-of-sight. The mechanics of the lotus plants are explained in the section below, and towers placed on the stone podium are not blocked by line-of-sight. Bloons enter from the right-lower-middle and exit at the right-upper-middle. The bottom-left island can fit towers up to the size of [[Super Monkey (BTD6)|Super Monkeys]], while the other two minor islands can fit towers up to [[Spike Factory (BTD6)|Spike Factory]]'s size. There is a large amount of water on this map that surrounds the archipelago.

==Mechanics==

This map features five lotus plants that can be interacted with to release their pollen pods when their flowers are open. When interacted with, they stun all [[Bloon]]s within 40 distance units for 3 seconds, and [[MOAB-Class Bloon]]s for 1 second. Each plant has a 180-second cooldown (which can be reset by [[Geraldo (BTD6)|Geraldo's]] [[Rejuv Potion]] or [[Sandbox (BTD6)|Sandbox Mode]]'s Reset Cooldowns button) and starts the game with a full cooldown before it can be used.

==Strategy==

Due to its short length for a Beginner map, spread-out track, and line-of-sight blockers, Lotus Island is widely seen as the 2nd most difficult Beginner map, only after [[The Cabin]]. In general, the best placement for land towers is to the right of the lower-middle-center loop, with water towers best placed to the immediate left and right of that spot. Water-based strategies stand out on this map due to the abundance of water. Despite being among the most difficult Beginner maps, with these recommendations and general strategies listed here in mind, Lotus Island can be beaten.

The large amount of water space makes certain towers excel on this map.

|Flagship works well during both mid-game and late-game, being a solid win condition that pulls ahead here thanks to its ability to overcome the spread-out nature of this map and utilize the complete track length. Flagship's ~17% buff to water towers also stands out due to the abundance of water that allows a variety of water-based strategies to work here.
