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.Card analysis

What the community says
CSituational
Buy it, give instant ATK to the Minion you pick, sell it. With lots of Sun to cycle it adds up (seen in Orange Bros). Don't ignore it.

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).
Violet Magus + Prof. Nutter (JitteryKennon)
The deck he uses to explain his Engine, DPS Kit and Support method. Violet Magus fires an extra missile for each Minion on the field with her ★ rank.
Lychee Babe + Leeky Beats I (JitteryKennon)
Stacks auras on one tile and puts Lychee Babe there: when she transforms, she keeps the ATK and bonuses she had.
Violet Magus + Mangotello, Adventure 2-5 (JitteryKennon)
For Adventure stage 2-5 Hard (Eggydjinn vs Coco Coinhog). Violet Magus and Mangotello deal the damage and help Tomato Twister grow fast.
Tomato Twister + Pomblaster + Shroomurai (JitteryKennon)
Pomblaster and Shroomurai clear the front line, and every kill gives Tomato Twister ATK. Once both are 3★, Math Melon gets bought, deployed and sold over and over.
