DandeLion
DandeLion is a cost 5 card in Plants on Fire. Rarity: Legendary.
- Ready: Temp reduces the ATK of all enemy Minions by 2/4/8/20.
- Temp
- Only works for a single round after which the effect is lost
- Ready
- Effect triggers when both players are ready
In practice
DandeLion lowers the ATK of every enemy Minion by 2/4/8 (20 at 4★) every Ready, for that round only. Since the Oct 27 patch, the cut is a flat value up to level 9 (4/8/16 at level 9); from level 10 on it becomes a percentage with a minimum, up to 6%/9%/16% at level 12. I note that it cuts every copy of an enemy Headless Jack and lists it as a good answer to the Captain Blood archetype. ATK 8, 3 s interval. Tier D in PvP. It unlocks at 2600 trophies.

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
- Who it affects: one random Minion.
- ATK: −2/4/8 (1★/2★/3★), this round only.

Works well with
Pairs the community and I find good together. The notes come from my own research and player guides (written in English).
They cut into the enemy team's offense from different angles in the same round, DandeLion reduces every enemy's ATK, Rosen Death knocks one enemy down a ★ rank.
Wiki deduction from the official text: Both weaken the enemy (reduce or steal ATK, demote ★, slow them while the other hits whoever enters).

What the community says
DBarely usable in PvP today
Lowers enemy ATK only a little and needs 3★ on a cost 5. The weakest card in PvP.

Builds using this card
Captain HP (Lua)
The strongest free-to-play deck according to the community: loses HP on purpose early to power up Headless Jack. No card comes from the paid Battle Pass.
Control and Stall
Drags the match out to win on the clock. Rosen Death and Leafy Trap buy time while your HP holds.
Lady Tulip theorycraft (JitteryKennon)
A theorycrafted deck for players with the Candlemancer Badge and a Fortune Cat Charm. He says it's even better with Lady Tulip's Variant.
Pine Gangster II + Judge Chilius (RoyalRabbit5502)
All the damage sits on the Cost-3 Minions, which scale fast with Judge Chilius. The rest of the deck is support.
