Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The GAL3ST1 article was read about 270 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 48 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get GAL3ST1
