Chomper
Chomper is a cost 5 card in Plants on Fire. Rarity: Legendary.
- Up to 2/4/8/16 Temp Minions can be devoured each round, gaining 2/2/2/4 ATK for each.
- Temp
- Only works for a single round after which the effect is lost
In practice
Chomper devours up to 2/4/8 Temp. Minions every round (16 at 4★) and gains 2 ATK for each one it eats. It is the payoff for decks that flood the board with temporary summons, like Cabby Trainer and Hogsteen. From card level 10 it also takes part of the ATK of what it ate, up to 70% at level 12. It starts with 18 ATK and attacks every 1.5 s. A devoured Minion does not send a Rush Unit. Tier A.

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
- Triggers: every time one of your Minions enters the field.
- Only picks Temp. Minions (summoned units and clones); a regular Minion is never chosen.
- ATK: +2, permanent.

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.
The temporary Mangosteen Pigs summoned by Hogsteen feed Chomper.
Wiki deduction from the official text: One creates Temp. Minions (clone or summon) and the other buffs or devours summoned Temp. Minions.
What the community says
AVery strong
Solid A, but it needs feeding: it eats the Temp. Minions from Cabby Trainer, Hogsteen and Archmandrake. The deck is good, not broken.

Builds using this card
Zerg Rush / Summon (Trovão)
Floods the board with Temp summons that keep growing. Strong up to about 1,100 Trophies, per Reddit reports.
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.
