When can we expect it? I seem to recall it was set to show up "when the majority of players have downloaded the update," but I doubt there's a gremlin waiting around, finger hovering over a button as his pitted eyes watch a percentage meter approach 50. Is there a specific date set?

It will start on May 1st, after the Fire Panzer ends.

Is panzar going away? if so, where can we get those panzar card and those 4* vampire,sccubus, medusa, etc...I started playing in March and only encounter earth, water, and fire panzar but never had a chance to play light and dark panzar, and definitely can't even complete stage 2 of the map yet so I will need more time to level up in order to get compete for panzar card. Please add back the panzar rotating for those who started late.

In short - Horsemans will replace Panzers, so don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it?
Panzer is the strongest damager in the game and you said don't worry about it?
The strongest card that has fixed damage dealing skill with x25 multiplier to be replaced with new card that only has changing element on the reel skill?

Even with panzer you really need to be lucky to pass the end game chapters (chapter 7-8), without panzer? You can guess the results....

Just to drop some bits of hints and expectations with the new Horsemen boss cards, so there will be no major surprises on Thursday. While they are not same as Panzer cards, they are great cards in their own rights, and have advantages and disadvantages compared the Panzers limited-time boss cards.

Pros vs Panzers:
- Higher average damage output per turn than Panzer when using same element cards in the battle team.
- Special skills has same CD and the bonus damage lasting two battle turns instead of only one - doubling the average damage bonus per skill usage.
- Can be evolved into 8-star card for higher stats (thus higher damage).
- Fewer rounds/waves to farm (7 waves instead of 10 waves).
- Pair with normal attack boosting skills for potential enormous damage.

Cons vs Panzers:
- Inconsistent damage (output based on luck with the spin and symbols changed) and requires special team setup for best performance.
- Slightly harder to obtain - since they can be evolved we can't give out 2 boss cards at once, they are only available as collection bonus reward on the "Insane" level, and only as golden box drops on the "Hell" level (and not as collection bonus). This means you can only get one Horsemen card per element (up to 5) from the "Insane" level. The drop rates for Horsemen are the same as Panzers on the "Hell" level.
- Slightly higher command cost due to potential excessive damage per skill usage.

As mentioned in another thread, Panzers are limited-time boss cards (they may return again in the far distant future). While Panzer cards may be the best consistent damage dealers, there are also other cards in the game that can do respectable consistent damage in the game as well (including normal dragon with high skill level). While it's a great idea to try to get a Panzer while it's possible before Thursday, there is no need to panic just because a limited-time boss card is going out of rotation, because there will be many more great limited-time boss cards to come.

Thanks for the information admin :)

You are giving us hope about the new special cards. I will test it out tomorrow ;). The cards will be as useful as panzer if not better as long they have low CD, the truth will be unveiled tomorrow by many veteran players testing the new team combinations with horsemen included. Good theory in paper doesn't mean good in practical use after all.

When you quote
Pros vs Panzers:
- Higher average damage output per turn than Panzer when using same element cards in the battle team.

Does this include the output from ability as panzers put out around 90% of their damage output from their "Breath IV" ability - this is the case in mono teams so it will be interesting soon to
see if this is reality or spin ;)
