Shuffle Time in Persona 3 Reload

Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is in-depth information about Shuffle Time in Persona 3 Reload. For info about the mechanic as it appears in other Persona games, please see the main Shuffle Time article.

Overview

Shuffle Time has a % chance to trigger after each fight, which is calculated as follows:

Shuffle Time will always occur in the following situations:

Shuffle Time can never occur for:

  • Event battles
  • Tartarus Gatekeeper battles

When Shuffle Time occurs after battle, the player can select from between 2 to 5 cards which includes Personas, Minor Arcana, and Major Arcana. Persona cards have a 50% chance of appearing, Minor Arcana cards have a 45% chance of appearing, and Major Arcana cards have a 5% chance of appearing.

After collecting a certain number of Major Arcana through Shuffle Time, the player gets an Arcana Burst.[1] The number of Major Arcana required begins at 5 and increases as the player unlocks more Major Arcana through the game. Arcana Burst increases the maximum rank of Minor Arcana for the floor you are on by +1 until you leave the Tartarus. When you first activate Arcana Burst for the night, you get a second Shuffle Time where you can select one more Minor Arcana card. Rank 13 Minor Arcana can only be obtained through Burst. Additionally, Major Arcana cards no longer appear during Shuffle Time after Burst.

Minor Arcana

During Shuffle Time, some of the cards that appear are the four Minor Arcana which are ranked 1 to 13 (1-10, Jack, Queen, and King). Sword cards grant a skill card, Coin cards give you money, Cup cards grant a random beneficial effect, and Wand cards increases your EXP. These effects all vary based on the rank, which is listed in detail below. Which ranks you can get also varies based on what floor of the Tartarus you are on.

Minor Arcana per Floor

This is a list of ranks of Minor Arcana per Tartarus floor. When fighting a stronger red shadow or the Reaper, you will always get the maximum rank possible for the floor you are on. If you have Arcana Burst, then the maximum rank for the floor you are on increases by +1.
