The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Running from Wallsend on the River Tyne in the east to Bowness-on-Solway in the west of what is now northern England, it was a stone wall with large ditches in front and behind, stretching across the whole width of the island.
- Soldiers were garrisoned along the line of the wall in large forts, smaller milecastles, and intervening turrets.
- In addition to the wall's defensive military role, its gates may have been customs posts.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hadrian's Wall article was read about 650,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
