Steal a Superpower Index Rewards: Permanent Rewards for Every Rarity You Collect

Quick answer

Yes — completing the Index in Steal a Superpower earns permanent rewards for every rarity you collect. What you need to collect is power cards: rip open ability packs, and every card you pull counts toward its rarity group in the Index.

• Rewards are tied to each rarity group you complete — every rarity you collect earns its own permanent reward.
• Ability packs come from defeating bosses and carrying their packs home.
• The official game description doesn't itemize the rewards or state how many cards each rarity group needs.

What the Index rewards actually are

The Index is Steal a Superpower's collection index for power cards, and the developer spells out its payoff directly in the official game description: "Complete the Index to earn permanent rewards for every rarity you collect." Two details in that line matter for how you play.

First, the rewards are permanent. That's the developer's own wording, so completing a rarity group is a lasting progression gain rather than a temporary boost you have to keep re-earning.

Second, the reward condition is per rarity. The official description and player-facing summaries phrase it the same way: rewards arrive "for each rarity you collect." That reads as a payout tied to completing each rarity group, not a single prize reserved for filling the entire Index — so the first group you finish is worth earning on its own.

What the description doesn't do is itemize those rewards. There's no official list of what each rarity pays out, and the exact number of cards needed to complete a group isn't documented either. Our Index guide walks through the system itself in more depth.

How cards get into the Index

Every card that fills the Index comes from the same loop: you fight, you beat bosses, and the packs they drop become your collection.

From boss fight to permanent reward

1. 1

   Fight through the zones

   Smash enemies with your powers to push deeper into the game's zones.

2. 2

   Defeat the boss

   Beating a boss opens the next area and lets you crack open its loot chests.

3. 3

   Carry the packs home

   Bosses drop ability packs — haul them back to base, because that's your card supply.

4. 4

   Rip the packs open

   Packs contain power cards: lightning, fire, frost, gravity, time, shadow, gold and more.

5. 5

   Collect every rarity

   Each card you pull tallies into its rarity group in the Index, and each group you complete earns a permanent reward.

The bosses guide covers the fights themselves, and boss fights drop more than packs — their loot chests are worth cracking open too, as our boss loot page explains. For the pack side of the loop, the packs guide breaks down how ability packs work.

What to collect: cards of every rarity

The cards you're collecting come typed by power — lightning, fire, frost, gravity, time, shadow, gold and more — and every card has its own set of moves. Because the Index pays out per rarity, your target is a complete group in each rarity, not just a handful of favorite cards. The full spread of tiers is laid out in our card rarities page.

Exactly how many cards each rarity group takes isn't documented, so keep an eye on the in-game Index as your packs open up and let it show you which groups still have gaps.

The same cards do more than fill the Index

The collection you build for the Index keeps paying off in other systems. Each card comes with its own set of moves, and leveling a card up unlocks its most powerful ability — our card leveling guide covers how that works. Cards can also go on holders at your base, where they earn cash for you even while you're out fighting; the base guide explains the setup.

Because the Index rewards are permanent, this collecting loop keeps its value long after you finish it. If you're still early in the game, the beginner guide covers the fundamentals from your first spawn onward.
