Build around Bomber and Pagoda
For a Chaos clear, place Bomber on the blue blessing plot and Cemetery between Bomber and Pagoda, then sacrifice Cemetery and its replacement to raise Bomber and Pagoda. Follow that opening with additional Bomber enchantments and a copy of the powered-up Bomber after the Rainbow battle.
Read the restricted board before placing cards
Crossroads is a King of Blood quest with five usable plots and restricted adjacency. Placement matters because Cemetery, Pagoda and your damage-producing troop have little connected space to work with.
Before spending cards, identify the blue blessing plot and the Cemetery position between Bomber and Pagoda. Use those landmarks to check your arrangement before committing to the Sacrifice sequence.
Follow the opening placement and Sacrifice sequence
- Place Bomber on the blue blessing plot. This establishes the damage plot that the rest of this route develops.
- Place Cemetery between Bomber and Pagoda. That is the plot you will use for the opening Sacrifice plays.
- Place Imp on a separate plot. This completes the troop placement used in the Chaos clear.
- Use Sacrifice on Cemetery to begin raising the important Bomber and Pagoda plots.
- Place a replacement on the former Cemetery plot, giving your next Sacrifice a target in the same position.
- Sacrifice the replacement to raise Bomber and Pagoda again, completing the opening upgrade sequence.
Pursue Offering and strengthen the Bomber
- Choose war against the King of Spells when that choice is available. This gives you a route toward Offering, the card pursued in the successful Chaos approach.
- Apply additional enchantments to Bomber as you obtain them, continuing to develop the damage plot established in your opening.
- Copy the powered-up Bomber after the Rainbow battle. Keep that timing in your plan while strengthening the original plot.
An early Bomber or Demon Altar reward is another choice worth prioritizing if offered. Those rewards feature in another successful Crossroads approach, so they give you an alternative direction when considering early cards.
Understand what grows Pagoda's Ghost supply
Pagoda's Ghost supply scales with its level and with troops permanently lost through sacrifice or other destruction. Troops that fall during battle do not add to that total, so ordinary battle casualties will not provide the same growth.
Keep the opening's upgrade targets in mind when choosing where to spend your next card. Bomber and Pagoda are the plots this route is trying to raise through the Cemetery position.
Check placements and older walkthroughs
Check the selected target before committing each Sacrifice. Follow the opening through Cemetery and then its replacement, keeping your developed Bomber and Pagoda plots as the upgrade targets.
This placement sequence comes from a Chaos clear. Keep that difficulty in mind when comparing another walkthrough with the quest you are playing.
Older Cemetery and Pagoda walkthroughs can fail when they rely on the layout or Ghost summoning from before the Blood rework. Compare their opening board and summoning behavior with your quest before copying the sequence.
