The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The output clock signal can range from a simple symmetrical square wave to more complex arrangements.
- The basic parts that all clock generators share are a resonant circuit and an amplifier.
- The resonant circuit is usually a quartz piezo-electric oscillator, although simpler tank circuits and even RC circuits may be used.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Clock generator article was read about 13,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 45 and blocks with 14: each hit it takes is cut by 6 %.
How to get Clock generator
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.
