Without it the score drops 15.0

Ready: Increases this Minion's ATK by 2/4/8/20.

  • Main piece (★): the plan revolves around it.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Comfortable early game: gains ATK by itself every Ready. Doesn't carry the late game against Tomato Twister, Orange Bros or Headless Jack.

Don't have it? Use Pom Piper (score 0.0)

Obtained by purchasing packs.

Without it the score barely changes

Aura: Increases the ATK of the Minion 1 tile above by 2/4/8/20.

  • Community tier list, April video (A): With the Variant the bonus turns permanent on Ready and stays even if you sell Cheerbloom. Part of the Orange Bros deck. Without it, low B.

Don't have it? Use Garlic Brigade (score +19.0)

Complete the tutorial to obtain

Without it the score barely changes

Attacks 6/7/8/15 enemies at once, dealing 40% damage.

  • Part of the plan: Tomato Twister (grows with every kill).
  • Works together with: Bardcore Onion.
  • 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.

Don't have it? Use Cabby Trainer (score +9.0)

Owned by default.

Without it the score barely changes

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 (★): 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 Glowkeeper (score 0.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Without it the score barely changes

Magic (4 sec): Makes the next attack deal 100%/105%/110%/330% Area Damage.

  • Community tier list, April video (C): Solid C: strong area shots, but needs slows so the wave walks slowly. Against fast-clearing decks it loses power.

Don't have it? Use Gourmand Baker (score +4.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Without it the score barely changes

Aura: Increases all Minions' ATK SPD by +4%/8%/16%/48%.

  • Part of the plan: Tomato Twister (grows with every kill).
  • Works together with: Apple Sheriff.
  • Community tier list, April video (A): Attack speed for every Minion. In almost every deck with more than one attacker (Tomato Twister, Headless Jack, Chomper): by usage, the most important support in A.

Don't have it? Use Orange Bros (score +19.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Tomato TwisterCost 8 ·
Without it the score drops 5.0

Increases this Minion's ATK by 2/4/8/32 whenever an enemy is defeated.

  • Main piece (★): the plan revolves around it.
  • Core piece of the plan: Tomato Twister (grows with every kill).
  • Community tier list, April video (S): Gains ATK for every enemy defeated and snowballs fast; the opponent can't do much about it. Fits almost every deck (except Orange Bros). The strongest single card in the game.

Don't have it? Use Tree of Light (score +4.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

Without it the score barely changes

Deals 200%/200%/200%/800% damage to the enemy boss.

  • Community tier list, April video (B): Its power is the Variant, which makes it gain ATK. A in a good Blessing week, B otherwise.

Don't have it? Use Wicked Mirror (score +4.0)

Available on the Glory Track.

Without it the score barely changes

Ready: Increases the ATK of Minions in the Shop by +2/4/8/32–3/6/12/48.

  • Tier list (A, the wiki's rating): Ready: Shop Minions gain ATK, and the bonus stays on them and stacks round after round. Everything you buy later arrives stronger. The official news video (Sep 29) says to use it with Chuckleberry. Other lists put it at the top (elpisoul SS, TreyEx S); in the deck builder it scores lower, so the A comes from the mechanic and those lists.

Don't have it? Use Eggydjinn (score +14.0)

Can be obtained from Harvest Pots, Recruitment, and the U-Pick Farm.

How to play the match

Grab Azure Astrologer and Tomato Twister early. No Turnipette? Guaca Sage takes the Cost-3 slot. Don't leave a card frozen in the Shop by accident: it steals Azure Astrologer's buff. Bardcore Onion speeds everyone up and helps against Shields.

Questions

Which card should I level first?

Turnipette: taking it to level 10 raises the score by 19.0, 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.

Is it worth chasing a Variant?

The best is Cheerbloom I instead of Cheerbloom: +4.0 score. Variants come from Rumble Chess and Variant Recruit (unlocked at 700 Trophies).

What if I don't have Turnipette?

Use Pom Piper instead (score 0.0). It's the card that matters most: without it the score drops 15.0.

Azure Astrologer and Tomato Twister keep growing into the late game. You need both Legendaries early.

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.
  • Sep 22, 2026: deck added to the wiki.
