The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The movement of a body, or link, is studied using geometry so the link is considered to be rigid.
- The connections between links are modeled as providing ideal movement, pure rotation or sliding for example, and are called joints.
- A linkage modeled as a network of rigid links and ideal joints is called a kinematic chain.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Linkage article was read about 28,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Linkage
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.
