The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term has been claimed to have derived from the town of Bayonne in southwestern France, although this is entirely without factual basis as the town has no history of widespread cutlery manufacture, and seems to stem from Voltaire's epic poem, La Henriade of 1723.
- Voltaire was in no manner a military historian and was writing about the battle of Ivry, fought on the fourteenth of March in 1590, so the contention is tenuous at best.
- From the early 17th to the 20th century, it was an infantry melee weapon used for both offensive and defensive tactics, usually when charging in mass formations.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bayonet article was read about 240,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
