- It is typically spun into ropes or fabric sheets that can be used as such, or as an ingredient in composite material components.

Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Kevlar article was read about 210,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get Kevlar
