Overview
Flying Castle is the playable character with the highest base HP, together with and . In its playable state, it has a passive ability that an opponent cannot use any Battle cards against it if it is on the defending side. However, Flying Castle has the drawback of not being able to counter-attack. This puts it at a disadvantage if it stays in front of another player on the board, as it becomes easy for opponents to constantly fight it. Flying Castle also does not have the greatest stats overall compared to other tank characters, as it does not feature a high DEF stat like or , has a subpar EVD stat, and has a high REC stat.
With these poor aspects, Flying Castle should stay behind enemies aggressively attacking them, making use of its above average ATK stat to prevent going in front of them, or use teleportation cards such as 
Here and There or 
Party Time or take 
Warp panels to avoid being caught from behind.

Effect
Flying Castle's Hyper is Immovable Object. Upon use, the player will instantly end their turn, as well as skip their next turn. For two chapters, the player gains +2 DEF and becomes immune to any warping effects. In addition, any unit that passes the panel the player is on is forced to battle them, with the player on the defending side.
This card can have additional effects depending on the character that uses it.
- When this card is used by , its "Cannot Counterattack" passive will be disabled.
Notes
- This card does not cause other units to stop if they start their turn on the same panel as the player.
- Despite the card's description, Immovable Object does not disable other effects that prevent counterattacking, such as
Swarm.
Strategy
Immovable Object effectively entrenches the player on a panel and renders them unable to move for 2 turns. This can help to lose opponents that are incessantly attacking from the rear, or enable you to KO them. Unsurprisingly, this Hyper helps dramatically for KOing low health characters and for escaping high-attack characters that could potentially deal a lot of damage.
As the Hyper boosts DEF by +2, gives Flying Castle the ability to counter-attack, and forces any enemy that passes its panel to battle, the Hyper opens a window for Flying Castle to take revenge on opponents.
The main downside of the Hyper is that depending on the opposing player's rolls, an opponent might not even roll into the player's space before the Hyper's duration ends. This problem is further worsened if the board is large and has multiple alternate paths, as the opponent may simply walk or warp around the player without entering combat.Tips
- Playing as Flying Castle
- Healing cards are an absolute necessity for a Flying Castle deck. Cards such as
Saki's Cookie, 
Pudding or 
Quick Restoration will heal the large amounts of damage dealt by opponents. HP is the unit's most important stat, so the player should keep it as high as possible at all times. - Players should try to stay behind other players when possible. Engaging in battle may be necessary in certain situations, in which case Flying Castle features a decent ATK stat and may have a chance to KO the opponent.
- Playing against Flying Castle
- Players should try to focus on keeping as much pressure as possible on Flying Castle at all times. Using cards like
Cloud of Seagulls or 
Sealed Guardian and constantly attacking will quickly deplete its HP, leaving it vulnerable to most attacks. - It should be remembered that Battle cards can not be used against Flying Castle, which means the player will have to rely on their ATK stat and rolls. 's
Accelerator and 
Super All-Out Mode can be very useful against it as they are event cards that adjust stats outside of battle.

Co-op
In Co-op mode, Flying Castle's REC stat is increased from 6 to 7, due to its base ATK of +1. Flying Castle's passive does not visibly change; however, there are some situations where Flying Castle is allowed to counterattack in spite of its passive.
Flying Castle's Hyper, Immovable Object, does not visibly change in Co-op, but has a slightly different effect. The Hyper will only force enemies (and not other players) to battle the player, but otherwise functions the same as in Normal mode.
