Air Supremacy is landing this September as the next release for KARDS - with 19 brand-new cards, a major 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:
- For each main nation: 1 Elite, 1 Special, 1 Limited card
- For each ally nation: 1 Limited card
All new cards will be playable from release. They'll be available:
- In Core packs (Standard and Officer)
- National packs
- Created with wildcards
- As a complete release bundle
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 a major 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
This rotation opens space for new deck ideas and supports the air-combat focus of the new set. Check out our Help Center article for more details on the reserve pool here: Reserve Pool
The full card lists are provided below.
Balance Patch Before Release
A new balance patch will go live before the release.
We have three focus areas in the patch:
- Adjustments to cards based on the post-Naval Warfare meta
- Nerfs to overperforming cards
- Targeted buffs to underused strategies
The exact release date, balance change details and the reasons behind these changes will be shared closer to the balance patch.
