Description[]
Pond might seem small, but it actually isn't. The map is quite large, and its shape allows long-range Towers to cover the whole map. It contains a pond with an archway that can be used as a cliff spot.
Layout[]
The map forms a "U" shape with two bends to add some extra length to the track. It has a pond near the middle with two water lilies for towers to be placed on. The stone arch acts as a final entrance to the last "C" shaped bend and leads to a straight path and exit.
Tactics[]
- Cliff towers are surprisingly effective on this map, even though cliffs are limited. This is due to the small hill in the pond that offers complete map coverage.
- Mortar performs exceptionally well on this map. You only need 2-3 of them, so you won't need to worry about cliff space.
- Railgunners should only be used with the Stacking glitch, which allows players to place multiple towers in the same spot.
- If you place a Golden Commando or Commando on the lily pads, it can cover most of the map.
- Aviators are very effective when placed near the "U" and "C" shaped bends.
- Enforcer and Shotgunner can be really good earlygame towers due the double corner at the entrance.
- This map is especially decent for Barracks due to the amount of turns, and corners.
- Due to the lack of ground area towards the middle, Commando, Tuber, and Mercenary are NOT recommended in Versus on wave 17-24 on this map if playing on Mobile, due to the Boss2’s, Lavas, and Hidden Bosses.
Trivia[]
- This is the second smallest map in Tower Battles area-wise.
- The first is Dead End Valley.
- It has the second lowest amounts of cliffs of all maps in Tower Battles, first being Dead End Valley.
- This is the only map to form a "U" ending on the same side as it started.
- A current glitch is that towers can be placed on the inside edges of the rocks around the pond seemingly on the water. This allows towers to be placed inside the fake blue water in the pond.
- The rock structure might be a reference to Ancient Celtics.
- Strykers spawn backwards but momentarily correct themselves by turning around several seconds after spawning.
