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

Pairs the community and I find good together. The notes come from my own research and player guides (written in English).
Judge Chillius demotes a Minion's rank, but its own ability text says this "counts as a promotion", it fires Sister Cherry just like a normal promotion.

Wiki deduction from the official text: Mage Violet fires an extra missile per Minion with the same ★ rank; this card fills the board with same-rank Minions (clones) or changes ★.

DBarely usable in PvP today
In PvP there's no deck for it: re-merging costs too much. Against Bosses it's another story.
