The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Some particles can travel up to 99% of the speed of light, their electromagnetic waves are on the high-energy portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- Gamma rays, X-rays, and the higher energy ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum are ionizing radiation.
- Lower energy ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwaves, and radio waves are non-ionizing radiation.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ionizing radiation article was read about 220,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 68: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get Ionizing radiation
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.
