Wild Card

The Wild Card is a concept in the Persona series introduced in Persona 3. It is the ability to turn bonds into power granted by the signing of a contract and is often associated with the Fool Arcana. This power allows its user to hold multiple Personas within them and switch between them at will during battle, as well as having access to the Velvet Room and its services.

Description

After the signing of a contract, an individual is granted the power of the Wild Card. it In Persona 3 media and forward, most Persona users are limited to a main Persona that may change or evolve. Wild Cards, however, are able to use multiple Personas. These individuals are typically of the Fool Arcana, in which the Arcana symbolism means they are able to obtain multiple Persona of any Arcana, with their bonds with people who have that similar Arcana allowing them to make Persona of the respective Arcana stronger. Wild Cards also gain the ability to access the Velvet Room, which they often receive dreams or visions of beforehand that foreshadow their obtaining of the Wild Card, where they are assisted by Igor and his assistants.

Additionally, Wild Cards can form bonds with individuals in their life that often have a corresponding Arcana. These bonds can directly influence the power of the individual as the Wild Card converts bonds into strength. This strength can become so powerful that Wild Cards are able to perform god-like feats.

In Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, the nature of the place those games are in combined with multiple "Wild Card" Persona-users together create a situation where they cannot use any Persona other than their original one, but are able to use Sub-Personas, alongside other character who normally could not have different Personas.

Gameplay

The Wild Card allows the player to obtain and switch between different Personas during battle, allowing for different stats, resistances, and skills. The player can use this to their advantage to formulate tactical decisions and decide the flow of battle. The Personas in the player's possession can be used in fusions and more, and can be summoned from the compendium in the Velvet Room.

Outside of battle, the player can use Personas to aid in Social Links further by matching the equipped Persona Arcana with the Social Link they are spending time with. Depending on the rank level of different Arcanas, fusions can be enhanced in power, boosting the bonus EXP gained during fusions. Additionally, maxing Social Links can result in unlocking special fusions for the player.
