Fire
The Fire element in Extinction: Rift in the Aether symbolizes raw power, aggression, and destructive capabilities. Thematically, Fire represents the primal force of volcanic eruptions and blazing infernos that reshape the landscape and annihilate anything in their path. Fire-aligned dinosaurs and their associated cards focus on high damage output, aggressive tactics, and abilities that inflict direct damage and cause widespread destruction, making them perfect for players who prefer a highly offensive and explosive gameplay style.
