Hi IiDesuYo!

Cards and Boxes:
 * Cards are a currency. GL tries to disguise cards as part of a tuning process, but that's bullshit. You pay cards for upgrading the pro section of vehicles.
 * Cards can only be acquired through Pro Kit Boxes.
 * Pro Kit Boxes are random collections. They contain cards, but you can't be sure which cards you get.
 * Pro Kit Boxes have a description that narrows down the possibilities a little bit, like: "Contains at least 1 xy card!". Descriptions are mostly useless.
 * Every card has an internal hidden factor assigned to it which invfluences the probability of getting it. The game does not tell you this factor. We do. See Pro Kit Box statistics: average frequencies to see which boxes grant most of a desired card.
 * Cards have a property named rarity. This is arbitrary and only a rough classification by Gameloft. You can expect cards to appear less often than rare:0:0 ones, and the latter less often than  ones, but this differs from box to box.
 * When you tap on the icon of a Pro Kit Box, you are shown drop rates for legendary, rare and common cards in this box. Drop rates are not probabilities. They are expected values of a card in the long run, when a large number of boxes is opened. Drop rates grouped by rarity are useless. Therefore, Pro Kit Box statistics: average frequencies shows the real statistical outcomes for the cards.
 * You can click on almost every box on Ashalt Wiki to get more information, including drop rates, statistical outcomes, hidden rules etc. You can expand sections in the infobox of Box pages to get more information on the statistical values. You can try the for a start.

Fusing cards and Fusion Coins:
 * When your inventory is full and/or you don't need a card to upgrade a vehicle, you an fuse it in the left part of the inventory screen.
 * You get for every fused card. See exchange rates on Currencies in Asphalt 8: Airborne.
 * Fusion Coins are a currency as well. They can only be obtained by fusing cards (or spending real money for Fusion Packs in the store which is not recommended).
 * With the 2019 Holiday Update, Fusion Coins are now required for upgrades. Pro Upgrades always need a combination of two currencies: cards and Fusion Coins.
 * Unfortunately, the amount of Fusion Coins (formerly Fusion Points) obtained for fusing a card has been heavily reduced. At the same time, the amount of Fusion Coins (formerly Credits) required to upgrade a vehicle has been heavily increased. Personally, I do not recommend fusing cards or upgrading the pro section of any vehicle at the moment.
 * Gameloft wants to get rid of Pro Kit cards as a currency. They've introduced "Kit Cards" with the recent festivals which work in a simpler way: only one Kit Card type is required for a vehicle, together with Fusion Coins. Unfortunatly, Gameloft chose the most idiotic way to let the Pro Kit System "fade out" by making it almost impossible to pro a vehicle.

So, that's it in a (slightly larger) nutshell. There are a lot of links to read in my points above. Tell me if you have further questions and which parts of the articles you mentioned you didn't understand.
