The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The castle is regarded as the finest surviving example of prototypical Japanese castle architecture, comprising a network of 83 structures with advanced defensive systems from the feudal period.
- The castle is frequently known as Hakuro-jō or Shirasagi-jō because of its brilliant white exterior and supposed resemblance to a bird taking flight.
- As with almost all Japanese castles from the Azuchi-Momoyama period onward, the tenshu, the most prominent structure, was used as a storehouse in times of peace and as a fortified tower in times of war, and the daimyo's government offices and residences were located in a group of single-story buildings near the tenshu and the surrounding yagura.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Himeji Castle article was read about 260,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
