The facts on the card

- Historically, mortars were heavy siege artillery.
- Mortars launch explosive shells in high arching ballistic trajectories.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Mortar article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 67: each hit it takes is cut by 27 %.
How to get Mortar
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.
