The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This process creates a film of the adsorbate on the surface of the adsorbent.
- This process differs from absorption, in which a fluid is dissolved by or permeates a liquid or solid.
- While adsorption does often precede absorption, which involves the transfer of the absorbate into the volume of the absorbent material, alternatively, adsorption is distinctly a surface phenomenon, wherein the adsorbate does not penetrate through the material surface and into the bulk of the adsorbent.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Adsorption article was read about 67,000 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 78: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Adsorption
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.
