The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- An air compressor is a specific type of gas compressor.
- Many compressors can be staged, that is, the gas is compressed several times in steps or stages, to increase discharge pressure.
- Often, the second stage is physically smaller than the primary stage, to accommodate the already compressed gas without reducing its pressure.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Compressor article was read about 56,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 75: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
