The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They are also useful for bending and physically compressing a wide range of materials.
- Generally, pliers consist of a pair of metal first-class levers joined at a fulcrum positioned closer to one end of the levers, creating short jaws on one side of the fulcrum, and longer handles on the other side.
- This arrangement creates a mechanical advantage, allowing the force of the grip strength to be amplified and focused on an object with precision.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pliers article was read about 45,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 52 and blocks with 37: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Pliers
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.
