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: +1/2/4 (1★/2★/3★), permanent.
Read from the game's official data. Numbers are for card level 1, for 1★/2★/3★ when three values are shown.

Sister Cherry, Dr. Kraut and Floral Friar grow every time any Minion merges.
Dr. Kraut Starter

The official promotion guide: Princeling ranks up and down on its own, and every change triggers Sister Cherry, Dr. Kraut and Bombercarrot. Floral Friar closes the game.

Built for a 2000+ trophy player with low-level cards. Prof. Nutter's Research goes to Shroomurai and Pomblaster, and Tomato Twister is the main dealer.
Boss Challenge: Lychee Babe (34,000 points)
A player's Boss Challenge deck that scored 34,000 points in the video. Lychee Babe turns into Minions that aren't in your deck, so the strong ones stay out on purpose.
