- Austro-Hungarian Navy submarines were also known as U-boats.
- U-boats are especially known for their use in unrestricted submarine warfare in both world wars, attempting to disrupt merchant traffic towards the United Kingdom to force them out of the war.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The U-boat article was read about 400,000 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 98: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
How to get U-boat
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.
