Card Overview
Pentagram is a 5-mana Attack card that wipes all enemies in a full row. As Christine's starting weapon, it carries the highest mana cost of any attack card but delivers an unmatched effect: complete elimination of an entire enemy row in one activation. In waves of densely packed enemies, it single-handedly turns the tide of battle.
Stats
- Effect: Wipes all enemies in one row
- Mana Cost: 5
- Color: Red (Attack)
Evolution
Combine Pentagram with Crown to evolve it into Gorgeous Moon. The evolved form expands the wipe to multiple rows, creating a board-wide elimination effect that few enemies can survive. Crown is also a powerful standalone passive that accelerates experience gain, speeding up the entire run's progression.
Synergies
- Crown: Evolution material and an XP-boost passive — carries dual value in every run.
- Mana-acceleration arcana: Bridging the high cost requires stable mana generation; ramp cards are essential companions.
- Song of Mana pairing: Running both cost-4 and cost-5 finishers creates turns where multiple board-clearing effects fire in sequence.
Recommended Crawlers
Christine starts with Pentagram and is designed around high-cost board wipes. Other Crawlers can include it when mana generation is sufficient to reach cost 5 consistently.
Role in Deck
The ultimate high-cost row-wipe finisher. Held in hand until a big mana turn, then deployed to erase a full enemy row in one shot.
Rating: A Tier
Cost 5 is demanding, but full-row elimination is unmatched in power. Rises to S Tier in properly supported mana-engine builds.
