The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term is part of the full title "Holiness Knowing Everything Vajradhara Dalai Lama" given by Altan Khan.
- He offered it in appreciation to the Gelug school's then-leader, Sonam Gyatso, who received the title in 1578 at Yanghua Monastery.
- At that time, Sonam Gyatso had just given teachings to the Khan, and so the title of Dalai Lama was also given to the entire tulku lineage.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dalai Lama article was read about 530,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 92 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Dalai Lama
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.
