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 you spend sun.
- ATK: +1/2/4 (1★/2★/3★), this round only.

Works well with
Pairs the community and I find good together. The notes come from my own research and player guides (written in English).
Sharp Sentry gains ATK on every Suncoin spent, and Seed Peon's low price multiplies how many purchases (spend events) you can fit in.

Lady Tulip's own note names "Coinhog, Sunkeeper and Sharp Sentry" as direct synergy.
Measured by the wiki's simulation: the two cards do better together than each one alone (test in 3 neutral decks).
Wiki deduction from the official text: One makes or keeps Sun Coins and the other turns Coins (held or spent) into ATK.
What the community says
BUsable, has a deck
Good early damage and in decks that spend a lot of Sun, but the ATK is temporary. Its Variant is weak.
PvP opinion from when the tier list was made; use it as a reference, not as a game number. PvP tier list by NoControlTower (YouTube), 2026-04-02.
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
Suncoin Economy (Sol)
Every purchase and Refresh counts as spending, which feeds the Suncoin-scaling cards. Slow and hard to pilot; best in Rumble Chess.
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.
