In practice
Pomblaster makes its next attack deal 100%/105%/110% area damage every 4 s (330% at 4★). With 15 ATK and a 3 s interval it clears the front when enemies are bunched, which is why it pairs with Berrinetta's slow. Alchemush helps boost it after round 7. The plan is to merge. Tier C in PvP.

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
- Triggers: when the fight starts; each time the ability is used.
- Who it affects: the enemies within range.

Works well with
Pairs the community and I find good together. The notes come from my own research and player guides (written in English).
Reported by players on Reddit as a good pairing; the source doesn't spell out the exact mechanical reason.
"Alchemush helps buff Pom Blaster in rounds 7+," once Rush Units' HP gets very high.
Berrinetta's Slow makes front enemies bunch up with the ones behind them, so Pomblaster's AoE hits them all at once.
Broc Presley speeds up the attack of the highest-ATK Minion, and Pomblaster stacks ATK as the carry (confirmed by the owner, Oct 19, 2026).
Wiki deduction from the official text: Gives ATK to a target Minion; on this card that ATK goes further (it grows, attacks faster, deals area damage or is inherited by the clone).
Wiki deduction from the official text: Broc Presley or Bardcore Onion raise ATK speed, and this card gets more out of every attack (carry, multiple hits or area damage).
What the community says
CSituational
Solid C: strong area shots, but needs slows so the wave walks slowly. Against fast-clearing decks it loses power.

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.
Pomblaster + Berrinetta (JitteryKennon)
Simple plan: Pomblaster and Berrinetta handle the front line, and Peanut Page keeps Pomblaster growing.
Tomato Twister + Prof. Nutter (JitteryKennon)
Pomblaster, Guaca Sage and Pine Gangster hold the front and help Tomato Twister grow, while Prof. Nutter turns promotions into ATK.
Shroomurai + Prof. Nutter, 2000+ trophies (JitteryKennon)
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.
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.
Boss Challenge: Pop Gunner and Muscle Melon
