Ranked #2,747 of the 3,000 cards of the base set by power (ATK + DEF).
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Without a register like an accumulator, it would be necessary to write the result of each calculation to cache or main memory, perhaps only to be read right back again for use in the next operation.
- Accessing memory is slower than accessing a register like an accumulator because the technology used for the large main memory is slower than that used for a register.
- Early electronic computer systems were often split into two groups, those with accumulators and those without.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Accumulator article was read about 14,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 28: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
How to get Accumulator
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
