- For the list of balance changes in BTD6, see Bloons TD 6/Balance changes.
Balance is an Intermediate map in Bloons TD 6 added in Version 24.0, alongside the secret map Blons, the hero Sauda, and Ravine's secret flying excalibur.
Overview[]
This location is a garden of hedges, colored stones and ornamental concrete, and green low-lying shrubs inside the enclosed circumferencial hedge. Bloons appear from both sides simultaneously, traveling though the path in the middle of the map, with a part of it circling around the small circle in the center for up to three times. Cherry blossoms particles occasionally fly across the map.
Inside the garden, there are also two small pools of water, shaped like the yin-yang symbol, at the bottom-middle, both allowing placement for water towers. Towers cannot be placed on the leaves.

Summary[]
Balance is balanced around the center of the lanes where they converge before splitting outwards back to the beginnings of the lanes. Lots of attacks involving explosions, area-of-effect, orbital sprays, or even just short-ranged towers, work well when placed or targeted near that central spot.
On the other hand, Balance's open space outside of the garden is only slightly plentiful, enough for a decent amount of Farms, and only a modest-sized maxed Monkeyopolis. The rest of the inside of the garden aside from that central location and two wider sides is rather unplentiful land that is not very compatible for Village-oriented strategies nor large-footprint towers, and only can fit up to medium-footprint towers on those small spots. Also, the low amount of water, while enough for to create any water-based Paragon without aquaforming, makes getting high degrees on water-based Paragons difficult to do.
Tips[]
- Since bloons circle around the center circle for a relatively long time, towers with high pierce but limited effect range (such as Sauda, Mortar Monkeys, Ice Monkeys, and Tack Shooters) are more effective.
- Monkey City with 1-0-4 crosspath still doesn't have enough range to cover another Village on the other side of the central circle, but with Overclock buff it can reach the other Village.

Trivia[]
- According to the BTD6 Index for 2TC records, Balance is the second map other than Logs and Cubism where a first 2TC combo was completed. This was Sauda + Permanent Brew. Coincidentally, the first map that fits this criteria also uses Permanent Brew, done on Moon Landing with Permanent Brew + Apache Prime.
