Power 80 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 40 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In the former meaning the term is predominantly used in condensed matter physics, atomic physics, and chemistry, whereas in nuclear physics the term separation energy is used.
- A bound system is typically at a lower energy level than its unbound constituents.
- According to relativity theory, a ΔE decrease in the total energy of a system is accompanied by a decrease Δm in the total mass, where Δmc2 = ΔE.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Binding energy article was read about 29,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 20: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
How to get Binding energy
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.
