Karna - Sun God's Armor
A legendary Hero card representing the unmatched valour, celestial armor, and tragic heroism of Karna, the eldest son of Kunti.
Card Details
The Story
Powers
Divine armour and earrings fused to his body at birth, making him invulnerable to any weapon — until he gave them away.
Indra's infallible spear, granted in exchange for the armour. It never misses — but can be used only once.
The ultimate celestial weapon, learned from Parashurama — and lost to his curse at the moment of greatest need.
As the Sun's son, his radiance grows at midday; his aim is truest when the sun stands highest.
Abilities
Widely held to be Arjuna's equal — and by some counts, his superior — with the bow Vijaya.
Bound by a vow never to refuse a request made at his morning prayer. It is the source of both his glory and his ruin.
Raised among charioteers, he reads the ground and the horses better than any king born to a throne.
