Power 64 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 20 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Because the i486DX has a working on-chip FPU, a dummy FPU package is supplied to go in the Intel 387 FPU socket.
- The dummy FPU is used to provide the FERR signal, necessary for compatibility purposes.
- Despite being able to execute instructions in the same number of cycles as an i486DX, integer performance on RapidCAD suffers due to the absence of level 1 cache and the bottleneck of the 386 bus.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The RapidCAD article was read about 4,100 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 38 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
How to get RapidCAD
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.
