Co-Star is an ability for the Wizard in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. When activated, Wizard warps on to a zombie's head as a star orb and can shoot rapid fire projectiles and granting that zombie armor.
When you face the same direction as your zombie, you'll be able to shoot homing projectiles and see Plants through obstacles in front of you in a similar manner to Kernel Corn'sButter Beacon ability.
Hover above an ally as a star in an orb to provide extra firepower and grant them armor.

Strategies[]
Co-Star is Wizard's best support ability, as it provides buffs to both himself and his teammates. When hooked up to a teammate he gains a new weapon, the Shooting Star, which varies in damage output and rate of fire depending on whether Starz Align has been achieving (done by facing the same direction as your teammate).
It's recommended to always remain in Starz Align as the Shooting Star is very weak in its base form. The Wizard's other two abilities are also available even when in Co-Star mode. One should also eject from Co-Star mode when a teammate is about to be vanquished and Zee-lixer is available, as the stun effect from being ejected from a vanquished enemy leaves you very vulnerable.
Fix the issue with Wizard being forced out of Co-Star and falling off the map not attributing a vanquish to the player who forced the Wizard out of Co-Star
