Last update: 11 May 2016

Each player also has a slot for consumable star cards. These are the ones that activate for several seconds. Each card has a limit of uses. Additional uses can be bought for credits, or find in the game as power ups.

Focus fire is a power-up that stabilizes the gun for 7 seconds. Thanks to this, you can quickly kill an opponent, using any blaster, at any range.

Scan pulse is a card that makes finding nearby enemies incredibly easy. After it is used, it emits a pulse that marks enemy soldiers around you, within 360 degrees area. For seven seconds, you can follow the actions of the enemy soldiers.

Scan pulse is most useful on small maps, where you can reveal positions of all defenders, while seizing a given point.

Personal shield shields you from energy weapons for 7 seconds. However, it does not shield you from weapons such as pulse gun, or automatic gun. Also, you are defenseless if the opponent uses any grenade.

This card works perfectly, while attacking spots that are vital for a given mode, e.g. transmitters. Thanks to personal shield, you can run up and seize the point, while still being shielded. However, you need to remember that you should stay in movement to prevent becoming an easy target for snipers with pulse guns, or automatic guns.
