The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The fission process often produces neutrons and gamma rays, and releases a very large amount of energy even by the energetic standards of radioactive decay.
- The free energy released by the fission of one uranium-235 atom is about 100 million times the energy released by burning one carbon atom in air to produce CO2.
- Nuclear fission was discovered by chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann and physicists Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Nuclear fission 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 82 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
How to get Nuclear fission
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.
