The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The two main types of capsules are: Hard-shelled capsules, which contain dry, powdered ingredients or miniature pellets made by e.g. processes of extrusion or spheronization.
- These are made in two-halves: a smaller-diameter "body" that is filled and then sealed using a larger-diameter "cap".
- Soft-shelled capsules, primarily used for oils and for active ingredients that are dissolved or suspended in oil.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Capsule article was read about 55,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Capsule
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.
