Mei (may) is one of the playable characters in 100% Orange Juice!. She was added to the game in DLC 18 alongside Natsumi.

Passive

Gain " Red & Blue" when holding no cards at the end of turn.

Overview

Mei is a balanced character that can lean towards being aggressive thanks to her unique cards, similar to QP. Thanks to her passive, acquiring  Red & Blue is not too hard of a task, and this increases all of her stats, putting her in line with other attack characters such as Marc or Peat. The main disadvantage is that dropping this card by getting KO'd isn't a rare occurrence, and it will set her back in the game and will be hard to come back

Summary

Pros

+Balanced stats make for an adaptable playstyle

+Has two unique cards,  Red & Blue and  White Christsmasher

+Strong gift card that allows her to get more aggressive

Cons

-Can be hard to comeback once knocked down

-Having an expensive or high level card in hand means very little to no chance of getting  Red & Blue

White Christsmasher
Deal 2 damage to players on the same panel as you. For each player KO'd, gain a win and KO'd Player's Lvl x5 stars. When carrying "Red & Blue", this card becomes "True White Christsmasher".

Hyper

Mei's hyper is White Christsmasher, which deals 2 damage distributively to all players in the same panel as her, and gains the KO'd character's level x5 stars and 1 Win.
Mei also has an unique gift card called Red & Blue, which causes her to gain +1 ATK, DEF and EVD, and once discarded or KO'd, the card will drop from your hand.
Having both previously mentioned cards on your hand at the same time will turn White Christsmasher into True White Christsmasher, which operates similarly to its previous version, but now the attack expands to players 1 panel away from you, and gains double the amount of stars (Player KO'd Level x10)

Strategy

White Christsmasher is a situational hyper but can lead to decent rewards. To break even, a player would have to knock down one Level 2 enemy, or two Level 1, making it a very useful card in the late game, were the player to land on the same panel as someone that is low on HP. Another good use can be to knock down any pursuers that Mei has managed to hold off and bring down to 2HP, shaking them off and getting rewards as a bonus.

Red & Blue is a very important card for Mei, since it allows her to boost her base stats by an important amount enabling her as a more combat oriented character. As such, the player holding this card should be very careful of any card dropping effects such as  Flamethrower or  Scrambled Eve. However, these cards are also useful when the player doesn't have this card, to get rid of their current hand and instantly obtaining it. Holding this card will also allow Mei to obtain True White Christsmasher, which is an improved version of her original Hyper card. Thanks to the extra range, this card can be used to take down any risky characters that could bring her down without having the necessity to land on the same panel.

Tips

Playing As Mei

• Empty your hand as quickly as you can in order to get Red & Blue ASAP!
• Try to avoid battles until you get Red & Blue
• Draw Panels can be a mixed blessing for Mei. If you have a high level card in your hand you can't play, drawing until you have to discard might be quicker than trying to reach the norma & stars needed to play it. This will, of course, fill your hand with other cards.

Playing Against Mei

• Scary Solicitation can be highly useful against Mei. Especially after she's been KOed & lost red & Blue.
• If she's NOT holding Red & Blue, be aggressive against her!

Recommended Cards

- Gift Cards are especially good for Mei, as every Gift that can be added into your deck can be played on Turn 1. Price of Power is the best, since it can help you play higher level cards out of your hand. Windy Enchantment & Lost Child are useful if you're looking to KO your opponents. Unlucky Charm is the least useful Gift to add to her deck.

- Saki's Cookie is a Norma 1 Boost with no star cost. Heals you up & Helps you get red & Blue faster!

- Scrambled Eve empties out everybody's hand & assures you get Red & Blue at the end of your turn, IF you don't land on a Draw panel.

- Flamethrower is another excellent card for Mei. She can set one & land on it to empty her hand & draw Red & Blue. Or just set it & have an unlucky opponent land on it to wipe away their hand (or KO them if they are empty handed).

- Cloud of Seagulls is useful to empty your hand & try to damage another player. If your health is at 2 or less, it has a chance to KO you (which may be beneficial if that was your last card & you're being chased by another player)

Counter Cards

- Scary Solicitation can make it much harder for Mei to deplete her hand & get Red & Blue.

- High level cards such as Final Battle, Sealed Guardian, Accel Hyper & Little War can clog her hand for a while if she draws into them.
