The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The spelling catabatic is also used.
- Since air density is strongly dependent on temperature, the high-density air mass is usually cooler, and the katabatic winds are relatively cool or cold.
- Examples of katabatic winds include the downslope valley and mountain breezes, the piteraq winds of Greenland, the Bora in the Adriatic, the Bohemian Wind or Böhmwind in the Ore Mountains, the Santa Ana winds in southern California, the oroshi in Japan, or "the Barber" in New Zealand.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Katabatic wind article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 36: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
