The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term derives from the Ancient Greek διακριτικός, from διακρίνω.
- The word diacritic is a noun, though it is sometimes used in an attributive sense, whereas diacritical is only an adjective.
- Some diacritics, such as the acute ⟨ó⟩, grave ⟨ò⟩, and circumflex ⟨ô⟩, are often called accents.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Diacritic article was read about 280,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 61: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Diacritic
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.
