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
- ATK: +1/2/4 (1★/2★/3★), permanent.
Read from the game's official data. Numbers are for card level 1, for 1★/2★/3★ when three values are shown.

Works well with
Pairs the community and I find good together. The notes come from my own research and player guides (written in English).
Sister Cherry also grants ATK to others on promotion, reinforcing Princeling's promotion loop.
Same "any promotion" trigger, reinforcing the same engine.
Same "any promotion on the board" trigger.
Both are part of the same engine, they react to any promotion on the board, not just their own.
Same trigger, any Minion being promoted fires both at once.
Prof. Nutter also gains Research on any Minion's promotion, same trigger as Sister Cherry.
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.
"amplifies whatever buff it receives," naming Sister Cherry among the buff sources that pay off more on a 3★ Guaca Sage.

Boss Challenge: Lychee Babe (34,000 points)
A player's Boss Challenge deck that scored 34,000 points in the video. Lychee Babe turns into Minions that aren't in your deck, so the strong ones stay out on purpose.
