The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is a broad natural science that encompasses a wide range of fields and unifying principles that explain the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and distribution of life.
- Central to biology are five fundamental themes: the cell as the basic unit of life, genes and heredity as the basis of inheritance, evolution as the driver of biological diversity, energy transformation for sustaining life processes, and homeostasis, the maintenance of internal stability.
- Biology examines life across multiple levels of organization, from molecules and cells to organisms, population, and ecosystems.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Biology article was read about 520,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get Biology
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.
