The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Flails have various tactical virtues, such as being cheap to produce, intuitive to use for those familiar with their tool form, being easily transportable when folded while still allowing the reach of a longer weapon when used, and having the capacity to strike around a defender's shield or parry or over an obstacle.
- Drawbacks include the difficulty in controlling them, their lack of precision in strikes, the difficulty of using them in closely-ranked formations, and their ineffectiveness in close combat grapples.
- When compared to a rigid weapon of the same length, weight and general configuration, the flail's striking end moves with greater velocity, but hits with less apparent mass, resulting in an impact from the flail that is slightly less than an equivalent rigid weapon.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Flail article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 60 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Flail
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.
