Commanding the Skies with Attach Mechanics
Unleash an air assault that overwhelms the board with relentless attach triggers. This guide dives into how the A4 Revenge Super Carrier and X32 Hive combine with a squad of agile wingman forces and timely morale cards to secure air superiority in Warsaken.
The Cornerstones: A4 Revenge Super Carrier and X32 Hive
The A4 Revenge Super Carrier is a Rank 4 force boasting ARMORED status so it remains unaffected by dead man and pick-off effects. Its key ability reads:
3 : ATTACH : AIR Attach +3 air forces from your arsenal to this; they’re ready. Shuffle your arsenal. Reattach after every battle, or they’re eliminated.
Invest three counters to instantly boost your air wing. The attached forces rejoin every battle, keeping the pressure constant.
The X32 Hive, a Rank 4 unit with 100 health and 80 attack, mirrors this tactic. Its ability states:
3 : ATTACH : WINGMAN Attach +3 wingman forces from your arsenal to this; they’re ready. Shuffle your arsenal. Reattach after every battle, or they’re eliminated.
Deploy the Hive, invest your counters, and a micro-swarm of wingman forces is primed to strike repeatedly.
Building the Wingman Arsenal
A robust armada requires a steady stream of attachable wingman forces. Cards like 55 Corvus (50 attack, 60 health, CRACK SHOT: Hits first in battle), Gray Owl XR (60 attack, 40 health), T-2 Cormorant (50 attack, 50 health, STEALTH: Can’t be blocked by forces without stealth), X32 Zero (50 attack, 20 health, EVADE: Takes no damage during battle), and L1 Needle (60 attack, 60 health) create that extra edge.
For maximum consistency, run four copies of each wingman force. In a 65-card deck, this boosts the chances of drawing a key wingman by turn 5 and often secures an early attachment if you include 12 or more wingman cards.

Sequencing for Success
Timing is everything. Begin by ramping resources—aim for 8 generic counters for the A4 Revenge or the mix of 3 generic, 3 fuel, 1 equip for the X32 Hive. Then follow this timeline:
Early Turns: Hold a defensive stance and build your resource engine.
Turn 4-6: Deploy your Carrier or Hive and immediately trigger the attach ability to flood the board with additional forces.
Subsequent Turns: Reapply attach abilities as soon as you accumulate three counters, keeping up continuous offensive pressure.
Accelerating with Morale Cards
Speed up your deployment with carefully chosen morale cards. For example:
Cut Corners carries the ability “-2 MORALE” and decreases a specific non-leader timer by 1. This quickens the pace at a modest morale cost.
All Hands applies “-3 MORALE” and decreases two specific non-leader timers by 1 in your legion. Running 2-3 copies of each morale card helps you accelerate play without breaching the morale threshold required by the rule HAVE > 0 MORALE TO PLAY.
Deck Construction and Tactical Considerations
Each component of this air attack deck plays a pivotal role. Use one copy of each high-impact attach card—A4 Revenge Super Carrier and X32 Hive—to anchor your strategy. Complement these with four copies of each wingman force to ensure consistency. Morale cards act as a tempo boost, letting your attach triggers fire off earlier and more reliably.
For example, a 65-card deck loaded with 12+ wingman cards increases the probability of drawing the necessary forces by turn 3, while sparse wingman ratios might leave your attaches waiting. Always balance your resource engine to support repeated counter investments and to guard your critical carriers from enemy removal effects.
Counterplay and Protection
Opponents may target your Carrier or Hive to disrupt the attach chain. Rely on ARMORED status and strategic blockers to secure these assets. Staying vigilant with resource management means your forces will persist, forcing adversaries to constantly adjust their tactics.
Wrap Up: Air Superiority Secured
This attach engine transforms a handful of counters into a barrage of air forces every turn. With the A4 Revenge Super Carrier and X32 Hive paving the way, supported by a versatile wingman arsenal and rapid morale accelerations, the skies become a domain of relentless pressure. Precision deck construction and smart resource management make this strategy not only powerful but remarkably consistent.
