Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lithophane article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Lithophane
