Silver Tarot Cards[edit]

I like the way the description currently is, but been trying to figure a way to mention a little more information without ruining the current flow.

When using her cards, she gets two completely safe uses in a single battle, with the third use being a bit 50-50 on either being good or bad (might be more like 60-40 as it's usually good). I've been testing it on the DS version and that seems to be its trend, mainly to be careful after 2 uses.

"One of Meena's most unique traits is her ability to read her silver tarot cards during battle, with each drawn card causing a unique effect. The effects of the cards ignore any resistances a monster may normally have, save for bosses. Players should be cautious about leaving fate to chance and ordering Meena to divine too often, however, as the likelihood to draw The Fool rises to 50% after the third shuffling in one battle."
How does this sound? I'm looking at the Japanese wiki and it states the fool probability rises to over 50%, so I think keeping it at the halfway mark would be the safest so readers don't get a false impression.(Follower of Light (talk) 18:01, 20 January 2023 (EST))
I like it! I'm not sure of the exact formula, just done a lot of card stuff on replays and noticing the trend. --TalZahn (talk) 06:17, 21 January 2023 (EST)

Meena's Stats[edit]

It is described currently as Meena possessing low strength due to being a spellcaster, but she in fact has the most strength of all the spellcasters and is just behind Torneko in terms of the entire party. I'd like to recommend it being described slightly better than 'low.'

Perhaps "Average" or "Below Average" strength would fit better. Or even just forgo mentioning it.

I would edit this in, but rather find an agreement first to prevent possible frequent revisions.

Turns out big sis Maya is a bit buffer at 171 strength compared to Meena's 149, but you are right in that Meena is stronger than most casters in the party. The whole paragraph needs a bit of clarification on her strengths and weaknesses anyways, so this is a good opportunity to clear that up(Follower of Light (talk) 18:13, 9 November 2022 (EST)).
