The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- This temperature is a thermodynamic property that depends on the pressure and water content of the air.
- When the air at a temperature above the dew point is cooled, its moisture capacity is reduced, and when the temperature passes below the dew point water vapor will condense, or precipitate, to form liquid water.
- When this occurs through the air's contact with a colder surface, the precipitate on that surface is dew.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dew point article was read about 360,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 47: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
How to get Dew 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.
