The facts on the card

- It is believed to be given by Olódùmarè to everything , gods, ancestors, spirits, humans, animals, plants, rocks, rivers, and voiced words such as songs, prayers, praises, curses, or even everyday conversation.
- Existence, according to Yoruba thought, is dependent upon it.
- In addition to its sacred characteristics, àṣẹ also has important social ramifications, reflected in its translation as "power, authority, command." A person who, through training, experience, and initiation, learns how to use the essential life force of things to willfully effect change is called an aláàṣẹ.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Aṣẹ article was read about 46,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Aṣẹ
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.
