The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Formerly, the light source typically was a miniature incandescent light bulb, but these have been displaced by light-emitting diodes since the early 2000s.
- A typical flashlight consists of the light source mounted in a reflector, a transparent cover to protect the light source and reflector, a battery, and a switch, all enclosed in a case.
- The invention of the dry cell and miniature incandescent electric lamps made the first battery-powered flashlights possible around 1899.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Flashlight article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 75 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Flashlight
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.
