About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of the strategic brawling in Skytear, the Into Ashes expansion is here to spice up your battles. This isn't a standalone game, but a booster pack designed to inject fresh tactical possibilities into the battlefield. The main focus is expanding the heroes' arsenal, introducing 10 new power cards (with three copies of each) to keep your deck rotation dynamic and unpredictable.
How is the content distributed? To keep things balanced, each faction receives two exclusive new cards, while two neutral cards are added to the pool for anyone to utilize depending on their strategy. But that's not all! If you're a Brylvar main, get ready: he receives the 'Avalanche' card, a brand new signature move (Ultimate) that completely alters how he controls the map.
The highlight for those who love varied objectives is the new victory condition: 'Hunting for Power'. Instead of just following the standard flow, players can now focus their hunt on the Outsider's aberrations to secure the win. It's the kind of content that doesn't overhaul the core rules but provides that extra spark, enabling new combos and forcing opponents to rethink their defenses. If you feel your Skytear sessions have become a bit repetitive, Into Ashes is exactly the push you need to shake up the board once again.
