Steal a Superpower Ancient Cards: What They Are and How to Pull One

Quick answer

An Ancient card is a card of the Ancient rarity — the rarest card pull the game tracks with a badge. You pursue one by opening ability packs, which you mainly earn by defeating Dominus bosses and carrying their loot home. The game itself confirms a successful pull with the rare Ancient Pull! badge.

• Ancient sits above God and Secret in the pull hierarchy: the Godly Pull! badge shows a 39% earn rate, Secret Pull! 22%, and Ancient Pull! just 2.8%.
• No official drop odds are published. Every pack you open is a pull, so the number of packs you open is the main thing under your control.

What an Ancient card is

Ancient is one of the card rarities in Steal a Superpower. Cards are the collectible powers you pull from ability packs — each with its own set of moves — and Ancient marks the top of that pull ladder. The official game description singles the pull out as a headline challenge, pairing it with the game's final boss: "Can you pull an Ancient card and beat Dominus Empyreus, the final boss?"

That phrasing carries two useful details. An Ancient is something you pull — it arrives when ability packs are opened, which is why the rest of this guide is about keeping packs coming. And the game itself frames the pull as a marquee goal, the collection-side twin of beating Dominus Empyreus, the final boss.

Where Ancient sits in the pull ladder

The game's badge list doubles as a ladder for pull rarity. Each pull badge unlocks at a tier or above, and its tracked earn rate shows how often players actually get there:

Read in order, that places Ancient above both God and Secret in the pull hierarchy. One caution on the numbers: these are snapshot earn rates from tracked badge statistics, not published drop odds — they show how relative rarity has played out across the player base, and no official source states the actual chance of any given pack containing an Ancient.

How to pursue an Ancient card

Ancient cards come out of ability packs, so the pursuit is mostly about keeping packs flowing. The official loop for stocking up runs through the bosses:

1. Fight through the zones, smashing enemies with the powers on your cards.
2. Defeat a Dominus boss to open the next area.
3. Crack open its loot chest — chests hold packs.
4. Carry the packs home and open them. Every pack opened is another pull and another chance at an Ancient.

No source states which specific pack types can contain an Ancient card, so treat every pack you open as a qualifying pull rather than chasing one particular pack. Each rarity you collect also feeds the Index, which awards permanent rewards for every rarity — an Ancient pull moves that tracker forward too.

How you know the pull succeeded

The game's own receipt is the Ancient Pull! badge. Its description reads "Pull an Ancient card. A truly legendary find!", and it is awarded for pulling an Ancient card — when it lands on your account, an Ancient has landed in your collection. About 7.2K players had earned it (2.8%) when the badge stats were tracked, making it the rarest of the pull badges; only the leaderboard badge "1st Place!" is rarer, and that one rewards ranking on the leaderboards, not pulling. Badge counts shift over time, so treat those figures as a tracked snapshot rather than a fixed total.

Passes that affect pulls and pack flow

Two paid game passes plug directly into this loop. The permanent 2x Luck pass (R$49) is advertised with the line "Rare cards are twice as likely in every pack you open. Forever." — note the wording covers rare cards generally and does not name Ancient cards specifically. The 2x Boss Loot pass (R$199) doubles the packs received from every boss defeated, feeding more pulls through the same chest-and-carry loop.

The Ancient Pull! badge is the finish line, and the loop above is the road to it: run bosses, crack chests, open packs, and let the badge confirm the pull when the rarity finally comes up Ancient.
