Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Apsis article was read about 200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
