Information

Canyon Crossing is a map located in a dry and grassy island that contains a canyon. Its path structure has 1 lane being on the top, and 1 being at the bottom. It takes ~66 seconds for an Invader to walk from the entrance to the exit at the top, and takes ~48 seconds for an Invader to walk from the entrance to the exit at the bottom.

Canyon Crossing is a double-lane map, the 2 lanes intersect near the end of the wooden bridge.

Appearance

Canyon Crossing takes place on a primarily grassy terrain, with the texture / color of the grass being similar to Sky Islands, another map in the game. The bottom path goes across a lush river that appears to be pure. The top path takes place above the bottom path, going across a bridge that connects the surface area of two rocky growths, one of which is an entrance for the bottom path. Enemies and units come out of caves with darkened entrances that conceal what is within them. Multiple trees can be seen across the map.

Tactics

• Towers located underneath the bridge of the top path can still attack enemies above them along with the enemies on the lower ground and vice versa. This allows them to cover a large amount of space, and should be used to your advantage.
  • These towers should preferably have high range, high damage output, or both. Such towers include Sniper and Electricizer.
• Bugler should be included due to its supportive damage or range buffs, depending on which path you upgrade.
• Recon Base may not be as viable compared to an easier map like Grassy Islands due to Canyon Crossing containing two paths, and thus resulting in some cases of units not going through the path you want them to. This also applies to Gunslinger's Mercenaries. However, the units may come across the bridge section in which they can attack top and bottom as mentioned before. This does not apply to vehicular units that rely entirely on collision damage such as the Ghoul.

Trivia

• This map has a signature Easter Egg hidden under one of the bridges that shows an image of a crying cat, a likely reference to Beefchoplets, one of the Tower Blitz developers.
