- An atom consists of a nucleus of protons and generally neutrons, surrounded by an electromagnetically bound swarm of electrons.
- The chemical elements are distinguished from each other by the number of protons that are in their atoms.
- For example, any atom that contains 11 protons is sodium, and any atom that contains 29 protons is copper.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Atom article was read about 430,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 88 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Atom
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.
