The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Excitation refers to an increase in energy level above a chosen starting point, usually the ground state, but sometimes an already excited state.
- The temperature of a group of particles is indicative of the level of excitation.
- The lifetime of a system in an excited state is usually short: spontaneous or induced emission of a quantum of energy usually occurs shortly after the system is promoted to the excited state, returning the system to a state with lower energy.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Excited state article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Excited state
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.
