Prepare for a Trip Through Time in ‘Reverse: 1999’ with These Essential Tips and Tricks
Reverse: 1999 has taken the concept of time, and flipped it on its head. At the outset of the millennium, the mysterious Storm hits Earth and reverses the flow of history. It is down to Vertin, the only human immune to the Storm, to recruit a team of Arcanists and repair time itself. A tall order to be sure, so we have put together a few hints on how to re-navigate 1999.
Before we jump into combat, let’s address something a bit overwhelming; the sheer amount of resources you will be given. Thanks to the eight-day login campaign, the utterly smashed pre-registration campaign, and the early Star Task and onboarding session, you will find yourself in possession of a total 73 gacha pulls between the Unilogs and Clear Drops. You can recover stamina with the Drops, but that’s a waste.
A shocking amount of resources to start
You might be tempted to throw them at the summon banners immediately for a tough team, but we advise you hold off, because you will get yourself a top-tier squad of five-stars pretty early. You will quickly get Sonetto as you play, a powerful fighter that can prevent enemies from attacking and buff her allies. Through the pre-registration campaign, after you clear stage 1-4, you will receive Matilda, a dedicated offensive option with single and AoE damage. Finally, after eight days of logging in, you will recruit Dikke, who can mass heal your team.
That is a damage dealer, support, and healer for nothing who will carry you through a lot of the content. The First Drop of Rain banner is still worth pulling on, as you are guaranteed a six-star in 30 summons, under half your total resources. After that, we advise you to play a few stages with this team and decide who to update before you try the other two banners.
One Gram of Curiosity can get you the six-star Sotheby, a fantastic healer if Dikke is lacking for you, or Clang of Sword & Armor has the six-star A Knight on offer. They are an incredibly powerful fighter if Matilda isn’t doing enough for you, or if you want two heavy hitters instead of Sonetto’s support. You have until November 9th before the banners leave to decide.
Is this your card?
Now that we have the squad all squared away, let’s look at where you will spend most of your time; combat. At the beginning of each turn, you will draw – or draw up to – seven cards, each representing one of your team’s skills. You get three actions to take per round, so you need to know what you are doing, starting with Moxie.
Each of these cards has a star value on it, and playing it will give the character it belongs to that much Moxie. Fill up the gauge underneath their health, and then next turn you will draw an ultimate move which can turn the tide of battle, or help you completely obliterate your already beaten foe. Whilst you can just keep throwing one-stars at enemies to gain one Moxie each, there is a better way.
Maximize your Moxie
In order to get the most out of your characters’ skills, you will need to combine duplicate cards of the same star level. For example, if you have two one-stars of Sonettos’ Commandment V attack, you can combine them to make a two-star Commandment V. Doing this makes attacks stronger, and can add additional effects to skills. You will even get a Moxie for your character as you combine their skills. This does take up one action, but if you are clever and a bit lucky, it doesn’t have to.
Staying with Sonetto, say you have a card for Exhortations IX on the board, and on either side of this you have a one-star copy of Attention Everyone, Matilda’s AoE attack. To combine these, you would normally have to spend an action, but not in this case. Simply play Exhortations IX, and then these two copies will automatically close the gap, end up next to each other, and combine for free. You get a more powerful card without using an action to combine, and you still get the extra Moxie for the merge. A nice trick to keep an eye out for.
Our final tip; if you are at all interested in playing Reverse: 1999, make sure to download and pick it up early. Completing the onboarding session within the first release month will get you the Witness of the Storm portrait, and the Beginning of the Tale Starter Task will get you Sonetto’s special outfit, Parade Anthem. You will get yourself some exclusive goodies, and mark yourself as one of the first to brave the Storm.
