Power 109 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 65 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It detects this by the movement of a test charge due to the Coulomb electrostatic force on it.
- The amount of charge on an object is proportional to its voltage.
- The accumulation of enough charge to detect with an electroscope requires hundreds or thousands of volts, so electroscopes are used with high voltage sources such as static electricity and electrostatic machines.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Electroscope article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 48: each hit it takes is cut by 19 %.
How to get Electroscope
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.
