The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A heat wave is usually measured relative to the usual climate in the area and to normal temperatures for the season.
- The main difficulties with this broad definition emerge when one must quantify what the 'normal' temperature state is, and what the spatial extent of the event may or must be.
- Temperatures that humans from a hotter climate consider normal can be regarded as a heat wave in a cooler area.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Heat wave article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Heat wave
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.
