The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This type of warfare often involves insurgents, terrorist groups, or resistance militias operating within territory mostly controlled by the superior force.
- Asymmetrical warfare can also describe a conflict in which belligerents' material resources are uneven, and consequently, each may attempt to exploit each other's relative weaknesses.
- Such struggles often involve unconventional warfare, with the weaker side attempting to use strategy to offset deficiencies in the quantity or quality of their forces and equipment.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Asymmetric warfare article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
