- By moving the guns from point to point during a battle, enemy formations could be broken up to be handled by the infantry or cavalry wherever they were massing, dramatically increasing the overall effectiveness of the attack.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Field gun article was read about 48,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 50 and blocks with 20: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
