The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It appears as a white microcrystalline granule.
- Adrenaline is normally produced by the adrenal glands and by a small number of neurons in the medulla oblongata.
- It plays an essential role in the fight-or-flight response by increasing blood flow to muscles, heart output by acting on the SA node, pupil dilation response, and blood sugar level.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Adrenaline article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Adrenaline
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.
