Steal a Superpower Auras Guide: What Auras Do for Your Character

Auras are one of the main ways Steal a Superpower makes your character stronger. The game's own description says it in one line: you "GET STRONGER with upgrades, trails and auras that boost your Power, Health and speed." Auras feed Power, Health and speed as a system — the stat trio the game tracks on its Top Power leaderboard and lists as boosted by upgrades, trails and auras. The available game information describes auras at the system level and doesn't document individual auras or their values. The Steal a Superpower stats guide covers each stat in more depth.

That one-line description matters because it tells you auras aren't a side system. They sit in the same breath as upgrades and trails, doing the same job: raising the stats that decide how well you fight.

How auras fit with upgrades and trails

Steal a Superpower treats auras, upgrades and trails as a set, not as three unrelated systems. The game's description covers all three in a single "get stronger" line, and community guides follow the same structure: they list "Upgrades, trails and auras" together as one stage of progression, and their core tips include "use upgrades, trails and auras to boost your Power, Health and speed."

In practice, that grouping tells you three useful things:

• They raise the same stats. Power, Health and speed are the shared targets of all three systems. The available game information describes the trio at the system level — no source breaks down how much of your Power comes from auras versus upgrades versus trails, and differences between individual auras aren't documented. There's no published reason to focus on one system and skip the others; they're complementary routes to the same numbers.
• They're part of the same routine. The standard tip list places "use upgrades, trails and auras to boost your Power, Health and speed" right alongside leveling up your cards, parking cards on cash holders, chaining kill streaks and completing the Index. Working on these stat systems is a normal step in the progression loop, not an optional extra.
• They feed the same goals. Power earned through any of the three counts toward the same leaderboard, which is where auras connect back to the competitive side of the game.

We keep dedicated pages for the other two systems in the set: the Steal a Superpower upgrades guide and the Steal a Superpower trails guide.

Where aura boosts pay off

Power is the stat with a public scoreboard. It's tracked on the Top Power leaderboard, alongside Top Cash, and Power is listed as raised through upgrades, trails and auras — so aura work is part of how you climb that board. Guides also note that stat raises here make the leaderboard climb "less of a grind," and card-collection extras such as a Legend Pack are described as helping with upgrades, trails and auras that raise Power, Health and speed. If you're pushing that number specifically, our guide on how to get more power collects the routes, and the leaderboards overview explains how the boards work.

If you're topping up your card collection along the way, it's worth a glance at the Steal a Superpower codes page, which keeps current freebies in one maintained list — the free Legend Pack guide is another easy pickup.

The short version

Auras raise Power, Health and speed. Upgrades and trails raise the same stats. The game treats all three as one "get stronger" effort, and the recommended routine — fight zones, level your cards, earn cash from holders, and work on the stat systems as you go — folds them in naturally. If you're just starting out, the Steal a Superpower beginner guide walks through the full loop from the first zone.
