The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The primary cause for a blowout is encountering an object that cuts or tears the structural components of the tire to the point where the structure is incapable of containing the compressed air, with the escaping air adding to further tear through the tire structure.
- It is also fairly common for tread separations to be termed “blowouts”, even those where the inflation pressure is not compromised.
- Because of this confusion, the term is rarely used by experts in tire failures, where the term "impact damage" is more frequently employed.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Blowout article was read about 27,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 35 and blocks with 25: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
How to get Blowout
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.
