The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It may use hot air as a lifting gas, or it will use gas that is not air like hydrogen or helium.
- A balloon may be free, moving with the wind, or tethered to a fixed point.
- It is distinct from an airship, which is a powered aerostat that can propel itself through the air in a controlled manner.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Balloon article was read about 21,000 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 %.
How to get Balloon
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.
