Strategy

Dark Citadel is a large board with sweeping straightaways in its dangerous inner and lucrative outer routes. A  Warp Move panel lies at the center, forcing every character who visits a  Home panel to be warped towards the outer ring shortly afterwards. This leads to a gameplay style where most characters stick towards the outer ring before closing in onto their  Home panels in the inner ring once they approach norma requirements before repeating the process.

BacktrackBacktrack
Every 8 Chapters, all players move in the reverse direction. This effect lasts for the duration of the Chapter., one of the default field events, has a unique effect with Dark Citadel. It slightly alters the paths, most notably leaving the  Home panels inaccessible while allowing access to the  Bonus (X2) panels.

• Wins:  Encounter panels are most dense in the inner route, so players looking to norma using wins may prefer circling it. The  Warp Move panel can be used to ambush opponents in the outer ring, which can prove quite useful.

• Stars: Most of the  Bonus panels are only found in the outer route, so star collectors should typically be opportunistic when it comes to transitioning into the inner route. Staying in the inner ring for too long is not recommended due to the dangerous  Encounter,  Drop, and  Damage panels, but it is necessary to reach  Home panels and should not be discounted entirely.

Character Synergy

Advantaged

• Fittingly, Mio is a fantastic choice on this field. The intersections and straightaways allow for nigh-unparalleled use of  Magical Inferno, and her high HP and EVD counteracts the riskier inner route.
• Characters that specialize in traversal, such as Cook, can choose their own path while avoiding most risk, which is a blessing on an interconnected map.

Disadvantaged

• Trap-based characters, such as Krilalaris and Yuki (Dangerous), are slightly disadvantaged due to the numerous intersections and hard to reach  Home panels. Randomly scattered Traps also run the risk of appearing on the  Bonus (x2) panels, which may be inaccessible if BacktrackBacktrack
