How star fusion works
2 copies at the same ★ merge into 1 copy at the next ★. 4★ only exists in Rumble Chess. In regular Co-op, your partner's Minions get a blue star and don't merge with yours.How it works
- The Minions it creates only appear if there is an empty slot on the board.
- Summons 1/2/4 per round (1★/2★/3★).

Works well with
Pairs the community and I find good together. The notes come from my own research and player guides (written in English).
Cabby Trainer summons temporary Cabby Pups that Chomper can devour for ATK.
Archmandrake boosts temporary summons' ATK, including Cabby Trainer's Cabby Pups.
Every Cabby Pup summoned by Cabby Trainer also triggers Ginger Honcho.
The temporary Cabby Pups Cabby Trainer summons also get +2 Temp ATK from Sir Rose.
Hogsteen and Cabby Trainer appear together as the backbone of any summon deck, both filling the board with temporary Minions early.
Measured by the wiki's simulation: the two cards do better together than each one alone (test in 3 neutral decks).
What the community says
BUsable, has a deck
Summons sprouts that feed Chomper. With the Variant the summons gain ATK and speed, and Chomper grows more.

Variants
A base card and its Variants (I, II, III) can't be in the same deck. Variants inherit the base card's level. Get them in the Variant Recruit with Sprout Coins.

Summon deck (official guide)
The deck the game team itself published: Cabby Trainer and Hogsteen fill the board with Temp summons, and Chomper devours them to grow.
Chomper (NoControlTower)
NoControlTower's favorite deck: two 3★ Cabby Trainers deliver the 8 summons a 3★ Chomper devours, Ginger Honcho grows on every summon and Apple Sheriff holds the first waves.
Club Race 2/3: Black Market Vault (Summon)
Deck 2 of the Club Race set, for the Black Market Vault. It's the official Summon deck: summons fill the board without buying, and buying is what costs ATK in this phase.
