Tactical Cards

Tactical cards manage resources and alter a turn. Official launch copy promises dozens of cards and hundreds of combinations.

Confirmed

What the official material actually says

  • Hype currency and manual card draw were removed in the February demo update.
  • Hype actions automatically drew a Tactic Card.
  • Stepping on a sponsor tile granted one free Tactic Card.
  • An Ultimate Tactic was granted at round start from a Champion who ended the prior round in the scoring zone.

Unknown until launch

Where the evidence stops

Multiple Tactics were reworked again on Aug 26, so card names, effects and final interactions require launch verification.
