The map has 5 paths with 6 entrances and exits, one on each of the 4 peripheral lanes in addition to 2 overlapping entrances and exits on the middle lane. On Round 1, half of the Bloons move from the far-left path's top to its bottom and the other half move from the far-right path's bottom to its top. The Bloons then spawn towards the middle lane, reaching it on round 3, and then move away from the central lanes and reach the starting lanes on round 5, and the pattern repeats. There is a jeep in the middle that can be "removed" for $1000, which adds a falling chinook that blocks more line-of-sight, and the jeep & chinook can then be removed for another $500.
Strategy
Bloody Puddles is generally considered to be the hardest map in BTD6, due to how Bloons spawn on multiple far-apart locations every round, how the spawning locations change every round, and the short lengths of the tracks. This map was impossible in CHIMPS before the jeep's footprint was decreased to make the early game marginally possible in version 14.0. All parts of the game in Bloody Puddles are difficult, with early game requiring extremely precise placement and some luck, the mid-game being able to stumble many strategies with the far-apart peripheral lanes, and the late-game posing trouble with the 2 short lanes active each round that change every round.
Condor's ability to move many Bloons to a single lane effectively turns most rounds on this map, which spawn from two locations, to single-lane, greatly assisting many towers and improving the strategic variety on this map by allowing the use of many low-range DPS towers. Condor is also a great general support on this map as it is on other maps, as it can stall MOAB-class Bloons very effectively and move Bloons near the exit to the start, such as BFB insides of the BAD.
This tower is the standard early-game for Bloody Puddles, basically essential on this map if you want to beat it without "micro". You can also turn it into an Armor Piercing Darts, buffed by a 301 Alchemist to help with midgame moab damage.
