Cemetery

If an adjacent unit dies in battle, summons a Skeleton to fight in its place.

How players use it

King of Blood Swarm plan (Vao and Matsuri; the May 2025 wiki.gg strategy also builds Imps and the Altar): spread Imps around Cemeteries and a Demon Altar. Each adjacent death summons a Skeleton and permanently grows the Altar (+0.1 per death since Patch #30). Matsuri calls this the strongest Blood combination.
King-difficulty achievements Self-Sufficient (17.7%): win on King with no perks. Vao credits the player Clyde with a Nomads route: re-roll for the King of Nature first to get Procreate’s 9 units, avoid Progress, Time and Stone, and put three Mobs beside a Cemetery and Demon Altar taken from Blood.

In the King of Blood's 9-card deck: a run as this king can start with it, and losing a battle offers cards from your own deck.
Loot after beating the King of Blood in battle when that king is one of your enemies.
Merchant: Jack of Structures (buildings, towers and bases).
Joker mode: pick it for a custom deck.
