The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is equivalent to 1/400 of a turn, 9/10 of a degree, or π/200 of a radian.
- Measuring angles in gradians is said to employ the centesimal system of angular measurement, initiated as part of metrication and decimalisation efforts.
- In continental Europe, the French word centigrade, also known as centesimal minute of arc, was in use for one hundredth of a grade, similarly, the centesimal second of arc was defined as one hundredth of a centesimal arc-minute, analogous to decimal time and the sexagesimal minutes and seconds of arc.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gradian article was read about 45,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 65 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Gradian
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.
