==Strategy/Usage==
This unit is overall a long-ranged backliner with decent damage, high cooldown and a 50% chance to freeze her target traits, but lacks defensive abilities. As with the Dark Heroes Uber Set, each form takes on a different niche that players can switch to depending on their threat assessment. Unfortunately, since the freeze isn't guaranteed, you'll still have to rely on other sources of defense.
===Normal Form===
Sweet Love Mekako is one of the few anti-Traitless units, which puts her to great use as she doesn't have to wander into the line of fire, a fact prevalent in fights involving R.Ost, featured in Hungry Forest, Procrastinator Parade, Birdwatching, and many more. She also sees use in certain Crazed/Manic/Event stages like Vulcanizer (Manic Eraser), but will need protection against enemy waves from attackers like Kory and Manic Macho Legs, with no proper response against the likes of THE SLOTH, Master A. Mr. Mole, Henry, Croakley and Kappy Jr. This often limits her use to a small selection of threats, and given how hard they can push with their abilities, she finds somewhat limited use.
===Evolved Form===
Bittersweet Mekako, despite having much longer range, still gets outclassed by Bombercat, as the vast majority of black enemies are nasty melee pushers under 200 range. Bomber's 240 is more than enough to consistently deny many of these enemies, and while Bittersweet Mekako can hit Le'noir/Dark Lazer, Le'noir is easy to stall while Dark Lazer is mostly an event enemy that is rarely fought. To top it off, her freeze effect does not always trigger, and while she does enough damage to ward off black pushers, she isn't doing much to kill them off. You're better off merely using attackers to nuke these enemies instead.
===True Form===
Minty Love Mekako, despite her newfound Relic target and curse immunity, is not the best at controlling such enemies, even if she can outrange them. Unlike your more reliable usual counters, Mekako's non-guaranteed freeze activation and the general aggression of nasty relics often mean if she fails to freeze them, she may not get another chance to attack. These attributes often cause her to fall behind the likes of Slapsticks, Uril or even Naga as a proper response. As such, the extreme True Form cost cannot be justified, and you should save your Epic Seeds/Elder Fruit for things like Slapsticks, Amaterasu or even Saki if you somehow own them.

==Catfruit Evolution==
==Appearance==
*Normal Form: A dessert-cooking themed oval shaped robot with arms and legs and hearts scattered across its body. A large bowtie with the Dark Heroes icon sits in the middle of the machine. Near the top sits Mekako herself in a maid-like outfit holding a whisk with some whipped cream on it.
*Evolved Form: A mixture of her Normal Form and the Evolved Form of Mekako Saionji Has black bowties, hearts, and chocolates for decoration, with chocolate blasters for hands. Mekako's outfit remains the same, but is now black instead of white and excludes the glasses. Instead of a whisk, she carries a giant spoon with some chocolate on it.
*True Form: The overal shape is exactly the same as the Evolved form, however now in colour. The chocolate and Mekako's dress now have a mint green colour, the bows are a very desaturated cyan, the hearts are yellow with a silver outline and Mekako herself is revealed to have blond hair.
==Trivia==
*Sweet Love Mekako's Japanese name, Shiroi Koibito Mekako (白い恋人メカ子, "White Lover Mekako"), is a reference to Shiroi Koibito (白い恋人, "White Lover"), a chocolate-filled cookie sandwich and the flagship product of Ishiya Co., Ltd.
