Full context
Note from Nov 3, 2026: this guide is from the club's old weekly Boss Battle. Since Oct 27 that mode is the Club Points Race, with 3 Giant Boss stages. The rule that removes your highest-ATK Minion is back this week in Queen Wasp's Star Shower modifier: this week's guide is at Club Points Race.
THE RULE AND HOW TO PLAY IT
- The Oct 12 Boss rule, as the player describes it: every Minion gets 25 more ATK and, at the end of each round, the Minion with the highest ATK is removed.
- That rules out Tomato Twister and Muscle Melon, which would be the first to go.
- The trick is to make Orange Bros' clone the highest-ATK Minion: at level 12 the clone inherits 86% of her ATK, and at level 10 Archmandrake gives temporary summoned Minions 23% ATK (minimum 25), so with her on the board the clone ends up above the original (official level text).
- If the original passes the clone, the original is the one removed.
- So start with Archmandrake (the player runs Mad King and Candlemancer, whose free first refresh always shows a cost-8 Minion) and don't take Cheerbloom to 3★ before Archmandrake is at 2★, because Cheerbloom's aura adds ATK to the original after Orange Bros' Ready.
- Do the math before each buy.
- Broc Presley speeds up the Minion with the highest ATK, which here is the clone.
- The player's own swap: Bombercarrot out, Azure Astrologer or Berrinetta in (a Variant slows enemies as they enter), because this Boss sends strong beetles in the red phase and Orange Bros attacks at random.
THE BOARD IN THE VIDEO
- Front row: 3 Broc Presley.
- Middle row: an Orange Bros at each end and their clone in the middle. The screenshot shows 273 and 666 ATK on the originals and 1051 on the clone, so the clone has the highest ATK and is the one removed at the end of the round.
- Back row: Archmandrake on the left and Cheerbloom on the right. By position, Cheerbloom's aura (1 space above) lands on the right Orange Bros, which would explain 666 against 273.
THE DECK
- Cost 3: Cheerbloom I, Pop Gunner I, Pine Gangster.
- Cost 5: Bombercarrot, Orange Bros, Broc Presley.
- Cost 8: Joe Tycoon, Alchemush I, Archmandrake.

Cards identified on the deck screen, levels 9 to 12, with Variants on Alchemush, Pop Gunner and Cheerbloom. The rule and the strategy are what the player says; the clone and Archmandrake numbers were checked against the official level text (game version 2.0.1021). The player reports 250,000 points that week. Not yet tested by me in a match.
