The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It occurs in a wide variety of organisms, including marine vertebrates and invertebrates, terrestrial arthropods such as fireflies, some fungi, and microorganisms such as some bacteria and dinoflagellates.
- In some animals, the light is bacteriogenic, produced by symbiotic bacteria such as those from the genus Vibrio, in others, it is autogenic, produced by the animals themselves.
- Bioluminescence has evolved independently at least 94 times, first emerging in octocorals some 540 million years ago.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bioluminescence article was read about 150,000 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 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Bioluminescence
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.
