The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The device, which was developed by the Royal Navy, fired up to 24 spigot mortars ahead of a ship when attacking a U-boat.
- It was deployed on convoy escort warships such as destroyers and corvettes to supplement the depth charges.
- As the mortar projectiles employed contact fuzes rather than time or bathymetric fuzes, detonation occurred directly against a hard surface such as the hull of a submarine, making it more deadly than depth charges, which relied on damage caused by hydrostatic shockwaves.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hedgehog article was read about 99,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Hedgehog
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.
