Shards of Fate: packs, a shop and a lot more cards

The card game has had a busy fortnight. You can now open packs, buy them, earn them for free and fill them with a lot more cards.

Packs

• Packs open in 3D. Tear the top, the cards fan out, and you can flip and inspect each one.
• A unit, building or hero card shows its model on a stone dais beside it.
• Clan packs hold 10 cards: 4 units, 2 buildings, a research card, a spell or item, and a wildcard that can be a hero.
• Champion packs always have a hero in them. There are Naval and Aces packs too, and an Arsenal pack of equipment.
• Every pack shows its drop rates, worked out exactly, and how close you are to a guaranteed rare pull.
• Cards come in Standard, Holo and Reverse Holo finishes, with Full Art versions on any rarity.

New cards

• 96 hero cards, one for every hero in the game. A Duel deck can take 2 and a Grand War deck 3.
• 121 buildings, 56 units, 40 pieces of equipment and 58 research cards, the research ones for Grand War only.
• 18 naval captains and air pilots as hero cards.

Free and paid

• A daily login chain, three daily quests, a weekly free pack and a welcome gift, all resetting at midnight UTC.
• The shop sells single packs, bundles of 3, 5 or 10 at a discount, and a 40-pack box.
• Your collection now lives on your account, so it follows you between devices. Wins against the AI pay out once the server has checked the match.

Rough edges

• If you built a collection before this, it was saved in your browser and doesn't carry over to your account. Sorry about that.
• Guests can play every mode with the starter collection but don't earn anything. Sign in to keep what you open.
• Some of the card looks still need a visual pass.
