The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Seaplanes are usually divided into two categories based on their technological characteristics: floatplanes and flying boats, the latter are generally far larger and can carry far more.
- Seaplanes that can also take off and land on airfields are in a subclass called amphibious aircraft, or amphibians.
- Seaplanes were sometimes called hydroplanes, but currently this term applies instead to motor-powered watercraft that use the technique of hydrodynamic lift to skim the surface of water when running at speed.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Seaplane 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 84 and blocks with 93: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
How to get Seaplane
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.
