- The component ions in a salt can be either inorganic, such as chloride, or organic, such as acetate.
- Each ion can be either monatomic, such as sodium and chloride in sodium chloride, or polyatomic, such as ammonium and carbonate ions in ammonium carbonate.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Salt article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
