The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Some euphemisms are humorous, while others use mild or neutral language to downplay certain concepts.
- They can often be used to soften profanity or discuss sensitive or taboo topics, such as disability, sex, bodily functions, pain, violence, illness, or death, in a more polite manner.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Euphemism article was read about 180,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 34: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Euphemism
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.
