The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Dry firing an archery bow is heavily discouraged, as it can do significant structural damage to the bow, and this is especially true for crossbows.
- The expression is also used to refer to any weapons training and tactical engagement simulation that does not involve live firing of ammunitions.
- Dry firing is most commonly done with firearms, and can be performed by simply cocking an unloaded gun and then actuating the trigger to release the sear.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dry fire article was read about 11,000 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 46: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
How to get Dry fire
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.
