The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Salmon is a colloquial or common name used for fish in this group, but is not a scientific name.
- Other closely related fish in the same family include trout, char, grayling, whitefish, lenok and taimen, all coldwater fish of the subarctic and cooler temperate regions with some sporadic endorheic populations in Central Asia.
- Salmon are typically anadromous: they hatch in the shallow gravel beds of freshwater headstreams and spend their juvenile years in rivers, lakes and freshwater wetlands, migrate to the ocean as adults and live like sea fish, then return to their freshwater birthplace to reproduce.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Salmon article was read about 370,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Salmon
