New KARDS Release "Air Supremacy" Takes Off This September

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.
