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.Card analysis

What the community says
CSituational
Spends all your Sun to give ATK to one Minion. Sun is better used elsewhere (Math Melon, the Acorn deck).

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.
Builds using this card
Orange Bros and Guaca Sage
4-card core from a community PvP guide; the deck builder filled the other 5 slots around Orange Bros' clones. Builder score: 97 (Carry style).
Pomblaster deck (official guide)
Official guide with Pomblaster as the main attacker: Berrinetta holds enemies in place so its area damage hits more of them.
Boss deck (Oct 12): Orange Bros clones with Archmandrake
The 9 cards to copy for the Oct 12 Boss, which removes the Minion with the highest ATK at the end of each round. Orange Bros makes temporary clones and Archmandrake makes the clone stronger than the original, so the clone is the one that goes.
