The wiki is a bit harsh on the eyes. Black and red no bueno. I'm having trouble reading these pages a bit. I also think if you're going to use a black background you should use the benefits of that and use colors instead of bold or italic for headings. I would suggest use of Beige, Orange, Yellow as some alternates to white. I'm not saying don't use white, just that instead of bold you could use Beige + Bold.

Write-ups

Overall notes on all write-ups.
Citations needed for feats ideally.
I feel there is a bit too much mansplaining of the abilities/strategies uses of mercs but maybe some people will appreciate it.

Aigis - Don't know well enough, nothing immediately jumps out as super offensive.
Banjo - Weird for me to say this since I'm no fan at all but weird amount of dehype of their combat ability here. "Would possibly lose to Glass Joe" get that out of here.
Estinien - Don't know well enough, nothing immediately jumps out as super offensive.
Garrus - I don't like the dehype of his melee because I'm not sure how much there is to indicate his capabilities there. It'd probably be better to stick what he can do unless he's specifically shown to be countered-- I mean I'd take Garrus over a lot of dudes in melee quarters just by virtue of having armor and a beefy assault rifle.
Haurchefant - Don't know well yada yada
Kazuma - Completely fine.
K. Rool - I think the "You're looking at a platformer boss here, any actual showings past his potential are going to be limited" line should be cut at that-- no need to further dehype or say what he's going to be argued as.
KoaC - Perfect bio. This is a wonderful bio, what all bios should strive for.
Kirby - No need to downplay his durability imo. (Also I disagree with the assessment of his durability)
Len - Nothing but the generic notes here regarding abilities.
Leon - FFD covered this pretty well.
Mario - This is fine and a good way to do the dehype style of some previous mentions that I've been down on. "This is more of a problem than it seems, however, as most people's image of Mario is just his sidescrolling platforming shenanigans. Not exactly full of battle hype, those. While his agility and athletic prowess are beyond question, you'll have to work hard to sell his battle prowess." I like this way of putting it.
Max - See Len.
Raiden - This is fine.
Sagat - I'll have no Tiger Shot dehype as "annoyance"
Selvaria - This is fine.
Slave Knight Gael - But is he undead guts from berserk? No really. I get it's repeated as a joke but this may dip into the skewing perceptions thing too much because it then tries to justify it.
Solid Snake - I don't think trying to sell him as Batman is good tbh. This is too dipping into skewing perceptions again. Just say what he's done and his versatility, people will think he's Batmanish if they want to.
Tifa - I think Bio spells are pretty inspired, myself, why hate. Also what FFD said.
Tusk - Probably fine but don't know the source material well enough to be sure that there aren't showings to draw from.
Vivi - This feels like fair dehype as he's actually portrayed as clumsy in FFIX. I'm fine with it.
Yu - This feels like fair dehype too with respect to guns. ALTHOUGH I'm not sure that ever came up when they actually have access to their personas, so it might be the worst kind of dehype? Been a while since I played Persona 4.
Zenos - Don't know well yada yada
Zeratul - This is fine.

Side note I love that Kirby's build has piloting vehicles built into it. I'm going to take credit for this by putting Kirby in Rex.

Side note 2 Zenos's !!! ability sounds absolutely miserable to play against. Why is this a good idea.

Okay there you go I tried to be helpful.

No problem!
