The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are true bugs of the suborder Heteroptera and have mouthparts evolved for piercing and sucking.
- A distinguishing feature is the ability to move on top of the water's surface, making them pleuston animals.
- They can be found on most ponds, rivers or lakes, and over 1,700 species of gerrids have been described, 10% of them being marine.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gerridae article was read about 80,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 84: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
How to get Gerridae
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.
