  • Works together with: Sister Cherry, Dr. Kraut, Bombercarrot, Floral Friar.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Goes up and down a star by itself every Ready, feeding promotions to the Kraut and Sister Cherry deck. A support, not the finisher. At level 10 it triggers Bombercarrot.

Available on the Glory Track.

Without it the score barely changes

When you Deploy this Minion or any Minion is promoted, place 1/1/1/3 Carrot Bombs with 100%/110%/120%/120% of this Minion's ATK on the field. They explode to deal Area Damage when touched by an enemy.

  • Works together with: Princeling, Sister Cherry, Dr. Kraut, Floral Friar.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): With a level 10 Princeling, every promotion drops explosive carrots on the lane. Part of the promotion deck with Kraut. The base card beats the Variant.

Don't have it? Use Orange Bros (score +24.0)

Owned by default.

Without it the score drops 5.0

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.

  • 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 Headless Jack (score +19.0)

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

Floral FriarCost 8 Β·
Without it the score barely changes

4 random Minions gain 1/2/4/16 ATK whenever a Minion is promoted.

  • Works together with: Princeling, Sister Cherry, Dr. Kraut, Bombercarrot.
  • Community tier list, April video (B): Triggers on promotions (pairs with Princeling) and its Variant buffs 3β˜… Minions: good in the Kraut deck and with Chomper's summons.

Don't have it? Use Tree of Light (score 0.0)

Obtained by clearing Adventure Mode 1-3

Without it the score barely changes

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

  • 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 Muscle Melon (score +5.0)

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

ShamanessCost 8
Without it the score barely changes

Ready: Increases the ATK of other Minions by +2/4/8/32 (only 1 of each duplicate). Instead grants ATK +4/8/16/64 if there are no duplicates on the field.

  • Community tier list, April video (A): Buffs the whole board every round, doubled with no repeated copies on the board. An easy A by usage; ranked behind the attackers because it's a support.

Don't have it? Use Pumpkin King (score 0.0)

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

How to play the match

Princeling early and Tomato Twister as early as you can. Each Princeling promotion gives Dr. Kraut ATK, buffs the promoted Minion through Sister Cherry and spreads ATK through Floral Friar. With Princeling at level 10 the demotion also counts as a promotion and the loop doubles: level it first. Loses to 3β˜… Orange Bros with speed, to Headless Jack with Boom Shroom and to Chomper.

Questions

Which card should I level first?

Turnipette: taking it to level 10 raises the score by 29.0, 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 Sister Cherry I instead of Sister Cherry: +5.0 score. Variants come from Rumble Chess and Variant Recruit (unlocked at 700 Trophies).

What if I don't have Turnipette?

Use Seed Peon instead (score -5.0). It's the card that matters most: without it the score drops 28.0.

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.
