Memeyori is a combination of meme (ideas that spread through a culture) and yokai (supernatural mischievous spirits). They are creatures born in cyberspace out of our culture’s obsession with memes and our mass subconscious use of the Internet. They’re like a cross between an AI created from our collective consciousness and actual physical entities. Their actions and appearance are influenced by us. Basically, they are imaginary internet folklore made real.
Above is an example of a Memeyori Mastercard. In the top left corner is the rarity of the card. The six different rarities are: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Ultra Rare, and Legendary Rare. The rarer the card, the more powerful the Memeyori.
In the top right is the Data Point (DP) cost of adding the Memeyori to your team. The max amount of DP you can is 18. Since the DP cost depends on the strength of the Memeyori, you need to balance team size with power.
Next to the name is the Level (LVL) of the Memeyori. They start at 1 and with Meme Essence (ME) can be leveled to 6. As they level Memeyori will unlock new skills, abilities, and at 6 they will get a +1 to all stats. Some Memeyori can evolve after reaching level 6. It takes 100 ME to advance them to the next level, and the amount of ME you get from defeating enemies depends on their rarity and level. The base amount is 10 ME which is then modified by -2 for every level above the enemy (Each rarity above Common adds 5 levels) to a min of 1, and +2 for every level above the enemy up to a max of 20 ME.
On the top right of the Memeyori art you will find their Type. The fourteen types are: Beast, Air, Dark, Ethereal, Earth, Fire, Force, Holy, Ice, Lightning, Metal, Plant, Toxic, and Water. If a Memeyori is hit by an attack type they are weak to they take 50% more damage, and if they are hit by an attack type they are strong against they take 50% less damage. In addition, if a Memeyori uses a card with the same type as it the damage is increased by 20%. This is called Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB).
Below is a type chart that lists the strengths and weaknesses of each Type. On the left is the attacker and on the top is the defender. Red means the defending Type is weak to that Type. Green means the defending Type is strong against that Type. Yellow means a special effect happens when the defending Type is hit by that Type.
In the middle you will find always active passive effects called Abilities. Memeyori will always have a racial ability plus at least one unique ability to unlock.
On the bottom right you will find the Memeyori stats that determine their performance in and out of battle.
Strength (STR): Determines the power of physical damage cards and slightly increases Physical Defense.
IQ: Determines the power of magic damage cards and slightly increases Magic Defense.
Endurance (END): Each point increases HP by 5 and increases Physical and Magic Defense.
Wit: Determines the power of support cards and slightly increases Magic Crit Rate.
Speed (SPD): Determines turn order and slightly increases Physical Crit Rate.
Swag (SWG): Increases Physical and Magic Crit Rate and determines other chance based things.
Critical hits deal 50% more damage than normal. The damage formula is as follows:
Damage = (Card Power x Attack Modifier) x STAB x 1.5^(Advantage – Disadvantage) x Crit Multiplier
Finallly, on the bottom left is the skill set of active and passive meme magic cards the Memeyori can learn. You can add more, but the max number of skills they may have is 12. Try to balance their deck based on the Memeyori’s type and stats.
