The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was originally called the "topgallant royal" and was used in light and favorable winds.
- Royal sails were normally found only on larger ships with masts tall enough to accommodate the extra canvas.
- Royals were introduced around the turn of the 18th century but were not usually flown on the mizzenmast until the end of that century.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Royal article was read about 4,200 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 32 and blocks with 20: each hit it takes is cut by 8 %.
How to get Royal
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.
