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
- It does not attack: its value is in the ability.
- Who it affects: a random enemy.

Works well with
Pairs the community and I find good together. The notes come from my own research and player guides (written in English).
Both deal damage in several separate hits instead of one big hit, which pops Swift Slug's Shield stacks faster (each stack absorbs damage only once).
Even at low stars, Headless Jack makes up for the HP lost early and covers the front line Violet Magus misses.
Hogsteen fills the board with Minions, and Violet Magus fires extra missiles for each Minion on the field based on its star rank (official text).
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 ★.
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: Mage Violet fires an extra missile per Minion with the same ★ rank; this card fills the board with same-rank Minions (clones) or changes ★.

What the community says
BUsable, has a deck
Doesn't attack: every 4 s it fires 1/3/6 missiles at random enemies, each dealing 50% of its ATK, plus 1 missile per Minion of yours with the same ★. The many hits break Shields (good against the snail Boss). It doesn't grow on its own and, per the community, doesn't get Bardcore Onion's speed. Since version 2.0.1021 it comes from Harvest Pots.
