The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Smaller violin-type instruments exist, including the violino piccolo and the pochette, but these are virtually unused.
- Most violins have a hollow wooden body, and commonly have four strings, usually tuned in perfect fifths with notes G3, D4, A4, E5, and are most commonly played by drawing a bow across the strings.
- The violin can also be played by plucking the strings with the fingers and, in specialized cases, by striking the strings with the wooden side of the bow.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Violin article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get Violin
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.
