about 6 hours ago
Air Supremacy is landing this September as the next release for KARDS - with 19 brand-new cards, a Reserve Pool rotation, and a balance patch, this update gives air units the runway they deserve.
Following armoured warfare & tanks (Blood & Iron) and naval warfare (Naval Warfare), it’s time to take the fight to the skies:
Air Supremacy brings air power to the battlefield, with new strategies, familiar nations, and a fresh focus on air units.
The release will arrive mid to late September (exact date TBA), so get all the details below!
Air Supremacy - Focus on Air Combat
This time, air units take center stage.
Air Supremacy includes 19 new cards:

All new cards will be playable from release. They'll be available:
In Core packs (Standard and Officer)

There are no new mechanics in this release - but you can expect fresh synergies and creative new ways to build around air units and aerial support.
Reserve Pool Rotation - 15 In, 33 Out
With the launch of Air Supremacy, the Reserve Pool is getting an update:
15 cards will return to active play - some with updated stats or text (details to come)
33 cards will move to the Reserve Pool - no longer playable in Standard, but still available in Classic mode

Balance Patch Before Release
A new balance patch will go live before the release.
We have three focus areas in the patch:
