The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The value of the function at a critical point is a critical value.
- More specifically, when dealing with functions of a real variable, a critical point is a point in the domain of the function where the function derivative is equal to zero or where the function is not differentiable.
- Similarly, when dealing with complex variables, a critical point is a point in the function's domain where its derivative is equal to zero.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Critical point article was read about 32,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 31: each hit it takes is cut by 12 %.
How to get Critical point
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.
