Trivia
- Prior to its patch 5.0 rework, this card was generally the most desirable to draw due to its potent damage-increasing effects, which could be applied to all allies in range using Royal Road. Thus, "fishing" for Balance cards was a goal of the astrologian rotation.
- The popular FFXIV guide site The Balance is named after this ability.
