Introduction
So you have finally reached the end of Chapter 4 in The Battle Bricks. Welcome to the final exam. The Battle Bricks Chronos map is widely regarded by the community as the toughest stage in the entire Tumoremode gauntlet. It isn't just a test of your battler levels; it is a multi-phase puzzle that demands precision, perfect timing, and a cool head under pressure. If you want to truly conquer the Battle Bricks Chronos map, you will need to master its two distinct boss phases and learn a complex attack pattern that shifts the moment you make a mistake.
This guide breaks down every phase of the fight against Cross and Chronos, explains how the infamous clock puzzles work, and gives you the exact team compositions you need to survive the cosmic onslaught.
The Gatekeeper — Conquering Cross
Before you can even see Chronos, you must dismantle its herald: Cross. This boss acts as a waypoint for Chronos and fights in two drastically different phases.
Phase 1: The Juggernaut
Cross begins the fight as a slow-moving but devastating melee unit. It is a massive white cross structure with shifting letters across its body. During this phase, Cross relies on brute force.
| Stat | Cross (Phase 1) |
|---|---|
| Health | 1,500 |
| Armor | 10 |
| Range | 12 (Melee) |
| Damage | 100 (Area) |
| Attack Rate | 6 seconds |
After landing three successful hits, Cross will use one of two special attacks:
- Beam Barrage: Fires 10 laser beams dealing 20 damage each.
- Teapot Artillery: Fires a volley of 11 teapots (3 large, 8 small) for a total potential damage of 460.
Player experience suggests that the Artillery attack is the most dangerous here, as it can wipe out your backline if they are clumped together.
Phase 2: The Backliner
At 50% HP (750 health) , Cross enters its "Reaching Climax" phase. Its appearance shifts, and it gains a massive range increase. Its playstyle changes entirely.
| Stat | Cross (Phase 2) |
|---|---|
| Range | Very Long |
| Main Attack | Long-range blast |
| Special 1 | Repulsion (Shockwaves + Super Knockback) |
| Special 2 | Annihilation (High damage beam, 500 dmg) |
Key Strategy: Do not send expensive, slow battlers during this phase. Repulsion will knock them halfway across the map, and Annihilation will instantly kill anything caught in the blast. Stick to rushers and reliable meatshields.
Converging Timelines
When Cross finally dies, it plants itself into the ground, spins rapidly, and creates a massive explosion that kills all units on the field. Do not panic. This is a scripted event to clear the stage for the true boss. Make sure you have stopped sending units right before Cross dies to save your money.
The Main Event — Chronos and the Cosmic Cycle
Once the dust clears and the soundtrack shifts to "Time's Illusion," the true Battle Bricks Chronos map encounter begins. Chronos is the Angel Boss, the true form of Cesus, and an entity that floats beyond the reach of your entire army.
Untargetable Boss
The most important mechanic of the Battle Bricks Chronos map is that Chronos cannot be targeted or damaged directly. It has 3,000 HP and 0 Resistance, but no battler can hit it. To damage Chronos, you must use the Teabots it sends against it.
The Attack Cycle
Chronos operates on a strict, repeating rotation. Memorizing this cycle is the key to victory.
| Step | Attack Name | Description | Danger Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Teapot Shower | Fires 12 teapot projectiles at random enemies. Trips units. | Medium |
| 2 | Teabot Deployment | Sends out 3 Teabots. | Low / Opportunity |
| 3 | Cosmic Machine Guns | Fires 24 beams rapidly at the frontmost enemy. ~33 damage each. | High |
| 4 | Count the Time | Clock Puzzle. Stops attacking. | Fatal if failed |
While Chronos is using "Count the Time," it will not attack at all. This is your only real breathing room in the fight.
Approaching the Endtimes
After Chronos takes enough damage (roughly 50% of its HP), it enters "Approaching the Endtimes." Its attack cycle changes to punish you harder:
- Attack Cycle: Teapot Shower → Cosmic Hyperbeam → Cosmic Machine Guns → Count the Time
- Teapot Deployment is removed from the cycle (a passive Teabot spawns after each attack instead).
- Teapot Shower and Cosmic Machine Guns fire 2x faster.
- Chronos uses Cosmic Hyperbeam, a single-target laser that deals 200 damage every 0.2 seconds for 3 seconds.
The Final Test
When Chronos reaches 125 HP, it will stagger, scream, and disappear, leaving only its ring of blasters. You will be given one final clock puzzle. Answering correctly makes the ring fade away. Answering incorrectly instantly destroys your Base. There are no second chances.
The Count the Time Puzzle — A Literal Clockwork
The defining mechanic of the Battle Bricks Chronos map is the "Count the Time" puzzle. Chronos closes its eye and presents you with a math problem using analog clocks. You have 1 second to read the problem and 12 seconds to answer.
The Rules of the Game
- Ignore the Hour Hand. The short hand is completely irrelevant and is only there to distract you.
- The Minute Hand is the Number. Look at where the long minute hand is pointing.
- Pointing at 12 = 0.
- Pointing at 3 = 3.
- Pointing at 6 = 6.
- Add the Numbers. You must add the values of the clocks shown.
- Wrap Around. If the total is higher than 12, subtract 12.
- Rounding. If the minute hand is exactly between two ticks, round down to the lowest number.
Difficulty Scaling
| Star Difficulty | Clocks Shown | Example | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Star | 1 Clock | Clock shows 9 | Select the answer with 9 |
| 2 Star | 2 Clocks | 4 + 7 = 11 | Select 11 |
| 2 Star (Wrap) | 2 Clocks | 8 + 9 = 17 | 17 - 12 = 5 (Select 5) |
| 3 Star | 3 Clocks | 2 + 5 + 6 = 13 | 13 - 12 = 1 (Select 1) |
Community Tip: Many veteran players recommend practicing on the "CHRONOS QUIZ PRACTICE PLACE" game experience to train your brain for the 12-second timer. If you are struggling, focus on the 3x multiplication table, as every valid clock answer is a multiple of 3 (0, 3, 6, 9).
Teabots — The Key to Victory
How do you deal 3,000 damage to an untargetable god? You kill its servants.
The Malfunction Passive
The Teabot is a light blue teapot drone with propellers.
| Stat | Teabot |
|---|---|
| Health | 100 |
| Armor | 5 |
| Damage | 30 |
| Walkspeed | 8 |
When a Teabot is killed, it triggers Malfunction. The drone flies directly into Chronos' eye and deals 125 damage.
Math Check: 3,000 HP / 125 damage = 24 Teabots need to die for you to win.
Optimal Teabot Management
Chronos sends out Teabots in groups of three during "Teabot Deployment." You must kill them instantly.
- Rushers are mandatory: Units like Dual Speed Battler and Hyperbike Battler are essential because they immediately charge forward and kill the Teabots before they can attack your frontline.
- AoE is helpful: While Teabots have small HP pools, killing all three quickly prevents Chronos from stacking too much damage.
Recommended Battlers and Team Composition
Bringing the right battlers to the Battle Bricks Chronos map can mean the difference between a flawless victory and an instant wipe. Based on community reports and stat analysis, here is the optimal tier list for this specific map.
| Role | Battler | Why They Excel |
|---|---|---|
| Rusher | Dual Speed Battler | Instant Teabot killer. Self-Knockback baits Norman. |
| DPS | Tarnished Sword | Insane DPS against Cross and peons. Needs protection. |
| Rusher / DPS | Hyperbike Battler | Fast, great for cleanup and Teabot sniping. |
| Tank | Titan Battler | Can tank a few Machine Gun beams to protect your stack. |
| Support | Liberty Cannon | Keeps your army alive through Teapot Shower and Hyperbeam. |
| Utility | Lil' Chronos | Good damage against Cross and supports rushers. |
Battlers to Avoid
- Slow Backliners: Rail Battler and Micspammer Battler are extremely vulnerable to Repulsion from Cross and the random Teapot Shower from Chronos. They will die before they get value.
- Pure Healers: The raw damage output of Chronos is too high for sustained healing to matter. Focus on burst damage and speed instead.
Lore and Hidden Details
The Battle Bricks Chronos map is not just a gameplay challenge; it is packed with lore that rewards observant players.
- The Badge Cipher: The badge unlocked for this map reads "CHAPTER IV - YWJP PQNJ XWYG". Using a Caesar Cipher, it decodes to "CANT TURN BACK," indicating that beating Chronos sends the player past the point of no return.
- Cosmic Design: Chronos itself is modeled after the Hubble Space Telescope, a remnant of a 2008 Roblox model. Its ring has 12 blasters, symbolizing the 12-hour cycle of a clock.
- Soundtrack Sync: "Time's Illusion" is one of the few tracks in the game that syncs perfectly with the gameplay. The beat drops exactly as Chronos appears on the map.
- Scale: Chronos is the second largest enemy in the game, estimated at 13x the size of a standard Battler unit.
Mastering the Battle Bricks Chronos map requires patience, specific units, and strong mental math skills. Use this guide to prepare your loadout, practice the clock puzzles, and take down the final boss of Chapter 4.

FAQ
What is the Battle Bricks Chronos map?
It is the final stage of Chapter 4 in Tumoremode, hosted within the "Teapots of Utopia" set. It features a two-phase boss fight against Cross and the untargetable Angel Boss, Chronos, who forces players to solve analog clock puzzles to survive.
How do I damage Chronos?
You cannot attack Chronos directly. You must kill the Teabots it deploys. Each time a Teabot dies, its Malfunction ability triggers, dealing 125 damage to Chronos. You need to kill a total of 24 Teabots to win.
How do the Chronos clock puzzles work?
Chronos shows you 1 to 3 analog clocks based on the star difficulty. You must add the values of the minute hands only (ignoring the hour hand). If the sum exceeds 12, subtract 12. Then select the answer clock that matches your result.
What happens if I fail the puzzle?
If you fail "Count the Time" or time runs out, Chronos triggers Upheaval. This makes it use Teapot Shower and Cosmic Machine Guns simultaneously, which usually wipes your entire army. Failing the final puzzle instantly destroys your base.
