Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Knossos article was read about 280,000 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 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Knossos
