The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is widely predicted that such a war would involve all of the great powers, like its two predecessors, and the use of nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction, thereby surpassing all prior conflicts in scale, devastation, and loss of life.
- World War III was initially synonymous with the escalation of the Cold War into conflict between the US-led Western Bloc and Soviet-led Eastern Bloc, though the United States and the Soviet Union never directly engaged.
- Since the United States' development and use of nuclear weapons in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II, the risk of a nuclear apocalypse causing widespread destruction and the potential collapse of modern civilization or human extinction has been central in speculation and fiction about World War III.
Why it is Legendary
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The World War III article was read about 1,700,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 92: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
