4-card core that a community PvP guide recommends from 700 Trophies; the deck builder filled the other 5 slots. Builder score: 96 (Carry style).
CommunityMediumUpdated Nov 04, 2026Game version 3.0.1027
Overview
Strengths
Strong early (R1 to R4): board ATK 13% above a typical deck.
Buildable for free: no paid Battle Pass cards.
Weaknesses
Weak late (R8 to R10): board ATK 17% below a typical deck.
Loses to: Apple Sheriff I (area carry), Tomato Twister (grows with every kill) + Sir Rose II, Control: stall the game and win late + Rosen Death, Apple Sheriff II (area carry), Tomato Twister (grows with every kill) + Violet Magus, Tomato Twister (grows with every kill) + Violet Magus.
Relies on Leeky Beats: without it the score drops 10.
Fires a volley of 4/5/6/10 bullets at the enemy, each dealing 40% damage.
Community tier list, April video (S): S with the slow Variant. Without it (A), its burst still breaks the snail Boss's shields and wins games on that Boss.
Attacks 6/7/8/15 enemies at once, dealing 40% damage.
Community tier list, April video (S): With Variant II it attacks again on every kill and clears the wave alone. Without it (A): good early damage, hits many enemies, breaks shields.
Aura: Increases the ATK of all adjacent Minions by 2/4/8/24.
Main piece (β ): the plan revolves around it.
Community tier list, April video (C): An ATK aura for neighbors, good early, but it works alone and no deck revolves around it. The Variant is more interesting.
Ready: Increases the ATK of 1 random Frozen Minions in the Shop by +4/8/16/48. If there are none, instead increases this Minion's ATK by +4/8/16/48.
Main piece (β ): the plan revolves around it.
Community tier list, April video (A): Made for the Orange Bros deck. It shines at level 10, when it no longer needs a frozen Shop card. Much weaker outside that deck.
Don't have it? Use Orange Bros (score 0.0)
Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.
Community tier list, April video (C): Gives Sun every Ready (an active version of Coco Coinhog), but cost 5 is expensive for what it does. Still works in some decks.
Don't have it? Use Orange Bros (score 0.0)
Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.
Aura: Increases Lady Tulip's ATK by +2/4/8/32 for each Suncoin you have spent this round.
Main piece (β ): the plan revolves around it.
Core piece of the plan: Spending economy: Lady Tulip.
Community tier list, April video (B): Win condition of the spend-Sun deck, with pressure in rounds 7 to 9. Without the Variant the buff is huge but temporary; with it, smaller and permanent. Swings a lot with the weekly Blessing.
Deploy: Steals ATK from all Shop Minions, gaining 90% ATK.
Community tier list, April video (C): Weak on its own: it steals ATK from Shop Minions. With frozen Eggydjinns next to it, it becomes A and hits for thousands. Buy it if you see it.
Don't have it? Use Muscle Melon (score 0.0)
Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.
How to play the match
Freeze an attacker in the Shop (the guide suggests Pop Gunner or Apple Sheriff): Azure Astrologer gives it ATK every round. Acorn Outlaw's Deploy steals 90% of the ATK of every Shop Minion, so buy it once the Shop is buffed. Lady Tulip gains ATK per Suncoin spent in the round; Sunkeeper gives more Suncoins. Leeky Beats goes in the middle, next to your attackers: its Aura buffs every adjacent Minion.

Questions
Which card should I level first?
Azure Astrologer: taking it to level 10 raises the score by 5.0, more than any other card in the deck.
Can I play it without spending money?
Yes: no card in the deck is from the paid Battle Pass.
What if I don't have Leeky Beats?
Use Headless Jack instead (score +14.0). It's the card that matters most: without it the score drops 10.0.

Community
4-card core that a community PvP guide recommends from 700 Trophies; the deck builder filled the other 5 slots. Builder score: 96 (Carry style).
Deck builder scores at level 8 (1,000 to 2,199 Trophies), from simulated matches that run until a Captain dies, as in the game. Opponents: 150 random decks and the 6 meta decks the builder generated itself. The fight was calibrated on Oct 10 with my own real matches.
Oct 06, 2026: guide rebuilt in the new format (versions, round by round, leveling order, Variants and matchups), with the recalibrated deck builder and APK 2.0.1021 numbers.
