Starvoxel: Defender

Co-op decks

Give your two decks different jobs. Keep enough defenders on both boards before merging, and watch which lane is leaking. Use the next preparation phase to adjust together: you have separate boards, but one shared star.

1. Permanent merge growth

Game plan

Build permanent merge bonuses without leaving the board undefended.

Anvil Mole: Merge: gains +1/2/3 damage permanently (max +6/12/24).
Banner Badger: Merge: the merged defender gains +1/2/4 damage permanently.
Ledger Beaver: Round clear: gain 1 gold per 5/4/3 you have (max 3/4/5). Only your best Beaver counts.
Bloom Capybara: Round clear: heal 1/2/3 hearts. Only your best Capybara counts.
