- Without the physical constraint of a waveguide, waves would expand into three-dimensional space and their intensities would decrease according to the inverse square law.
- There are different types of waveguides for different types of waves.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Waveguide article was read about 51,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 55: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
