The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A simple crater in a runway could be filled in without issue, so the Durandal uses two explosions to displace the concrete slabs of a runway, thus making the damage to the runway far more difficult to repair.
- The bomb is named after a mythical medieval French sword.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Matra Durandal article was read about 24,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 53 and blocks with 34: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
