The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Aerostats use buoyancy from a lifting gas that is less dense than the surrounding air to achieve the lift needed to stay airborne.
- In early dirigibles, the lifting gas was hydrogen, due to its high lifting capacity and ready availability.
- Still, its inherent flammability led to several fatal accidents, rendering hydrogen airships obsolete.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Airship article was read about 270,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 79: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
How to get Airship
