- The dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a thin sheet, in a technique called laminating.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Croissant article was read about 330,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
