The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- One feature of these systems is the extensive use of gravity as the motive force to cause the movement of the fluids.
- This area of civil engineering is intimately related to the design of bridges, dams, channels, canals, and levees, and to both sanitary and environmental engineering.
- Hydraulic engineering is the application of the principles of fluid mechanics to problems dealing with the collection, storage, control, transport, regulation, measurement, and use of water.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hydraulic engineering article was read about 21,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
How to get Hydraulic engineering
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.
