The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It has the dimension of force per unit length, or energy per unit area.
- The two are equivalent, but when referring to energy per unit of area, it is common to use the term surface energy, which is a more general term in the sense that it applies also to solids.
- Surface tension is used for liquids, while surface stress and surface energy are more commonly used for solids.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Surface tension 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 81 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
