Path Blockers is a collectible Boost card that can be acquired from the Community Pack 2.

Effect[ | ]

Upon use, the player can select any unit, including themselves. The chosen unit will then gain the Stock Effect Path Blockers, which will force them to stop on the next trap they pass, triggering it in the process.

Notes[ | ]

  • In Co-Op, Path Blockers is also able to stop units on traps that they can not trigger, such as an ally's Big Bang Bellicon Big Bang Bell. The player will not trigger the trap in this case and, as a result, it can be used to stop an ally at a specific location without removing the trap from the board.
  • If the FreezeFreeze

    field event or another player with Frostwalk freezes a panel with a trap card on it, and a player under the effects of the card pass through it, the trap will be ignored, and the Stock Effect will be used.

Strategy[ | ]

Path Blockers is a card whose usefulness scales based on the Trap cards available to the player. The ability to force an opponent to trigger certain traps can be extremely powerful when combined with cards like Sky Restaurant 'Pures'icon Sky Restaurant 'Pures' or Flamethrowericon Flamethrower. The player can even target themselves if the situation calls for it, such as using it to stop on a Mass check0 Home panel to steal a Piggy Bankicon Piggy Bank from an opponent. Any character whose play-style revolves around traps should consider Path Blockers for their deck. Characters who flood the board with traps, such as Krilalaris, can make good use of this card to cause opponents to land on their traps more often. On the other hand, characters such as Saki, who prefer to place traps in more strategic locations, can use this card to force players to trigger their traps at a time when it will benefit them the most. Star Breaker, especially, is one of the best users of this card for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, she does not necessarily need to run traps to benefit from Path Blockers thanks to Star Blasting Fuseicon Star Blasting Fuse, freeing up slots in her deck for battle cards or cards that help her fight opponents like Ambushicon Ambush. Second, her opponents cannot see where her Invisible Bombicon Invisible Bomb traps are, which prevents them from playing around them. This can potentially cause a player to force themselves or others into a bomb when they were aiming for another trap. Lastly, Star Breaker is not bothered by its high star cost due to her inability to collect star normas.

Obviously, if the player isn't playing many traps, then Path Blockers can become quite useless. Its relatively high cost can be a deal-breaker for some characters, considering that many low level traps aren't worth triggering for the 13 star cost. If the selection of traps is diluted with too many low power traps, such as Dangerous Puddingicon Dangerous Pudding, it will be difficult for the player get opponents to land on more powerful ones, especially if they are all clustered together. Consequently, the MinelayerMinelayer
Every 3 Chapters, a Trap card (Dangerous Puddingicon Dangerous Pudding, Bad Puddingicon Bad Pudding, or Mimyuu's Hammericon Mimyuu's Hammer) will be set on a randomly determined panel. (These are not affiliated with the Center Deck's contents.)
field event can cause problems for players who play this card as it litters the board with numerous low level traps. In addition, most characters with trap based hypers are immune to their own traps, causing this card to benefit them substantially more than other characters. An exception to this, however, is Saki. Path Blockers can be used to force a player to trigger her Big Bang Bellicon Big Bang Bell before it has had a chance to charge or even force Saki to detonate it on herself.
