The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Depending on the system under consideration and the technologies employed, the knowledge gained during reverse engineering can help with repurposing obsolete objects, doing security analysis, or learning how something works.
- Although the process is specific to the object on which it is being performed, all reverse engineering processes consist of three basic steps: information extraction, modeling, and review.
- Information extraction is the practice of gathering all relevant information for performing the operation.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Reverse engineering article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 57: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Reverse engineering
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.
