Master Persona 3 Reload's Shuffle Time! Learn about Minor and Major Arcana cards, their effects on Personas, items, money, buffs, and more.

Shuffle Time is a minigame awarded after battle where you can obtain new Personas and other benefits. Shuffle Time has a random chance of appearing, with a higher chance of appearing from various actions taken in battle, such as hitting weaknesses and All-Out Attacks. Finishing the battle with an All-Out Attack will guarantee Shuffle Time. During Shuffle Time, multiple cards will appear with various effects. You get to pick one card of your choice. Cards are divided between Minor Arcana and Major Arcana. Major Arcana cards are much rarer, and you can only draw a certain number of them per Tartarus visit. Major Arcana cards last until you leave Tartarus. If you collect the max amount of Major Arcana cards, an Arcana Burst will occur, which raises the rank of all Minor Arcana cards by one. Here is the list of cards available through Shuffle Time.
