Power: 6 | Speed: 5 | Rarity: Rare | World Region: The Hunting Thermals
Origins: Sky Hunter is the predator of Air's Rare tier – a card built around the stoop, the most efficient aerial attack form, perfected in the Hunting Thermals where the updraft conditions allow an indefinite wait before the decisive descent. Its 6/5 stat line is almost entirely offensive – this card is not designed to absorb damage. It's designed to never be in the position where damage needs to be absorbed.
Finishing Move: Thermal Stoop: Drops from thermal altitude in a controlled stoop – a diving attack that converts full altitude into velocity and arrives at 6 Power on a thermal-accelerated descent. The target rarely sees it coming from the right direction.
Synergy & Rivalry: The ambush predator in Air Rares. Shadow's Grim Warden has the closest parallel hunting methodology – two Rare-tier specialists who wait for the moment and then commit absolutely, with competing theories about which element provides better concealment before the strike.
