The six-point circle has bindpoints based on a regular hexagon whose vertices are equidistant around the circle's circumference. While it is difficult to determine where the bindpoints are without actually seeing the hexagon, Rithmatists are taught how to intuit their positions. Six-point circles have a greater inherent versatility and defensibility that two- and four-point circles lack.{{ref|name=6pt}}

; Matson Defense: A defense that relies heavily on defensive chalklings.{{book ref|Rithmatist|9}} Features two parallel Lines of Forbiddance, each connecting two adjacent bindpoints. The remaining two bindpoints, opposite of each other, have circular Lines of Warding bound to them each with a Mark's Cross. Defensive chalklings are bound to every bind point of the three circles, except where the smaller circles are bound to the larger one, making ten in total.{{ref|name=matson}}
