The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It provides geolocation and time information to a BDS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more BDS satellites.
- It does not require the user to transmit any data and operates independently of any telephonic or Internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the BDS positioning information.
- The current service, BeiDou-3, provides full global coverage for timing and navigation, along with Russia's GLONASS, the European Galileo, and the US's GPS.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The BeiDou article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get BeiDou
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.
