Reverse: 1999 Best Teams

Team comps and Arcanist pairings that work together.

Each team below is built from the game's own skill data: the mechanic tags (Burn, Poison, Moxie, Crit…) are read straight out of each Arcanist's kit, so the reason a team works is something you can check yourself on the character pages. Teams marked "No Euphoria needed" contain no member whose ranking depends on an unlocked Euphoria.

Beyond Wonderland

5★

Loggerhead Healer

Take the Hard Journey

Plant · Mental DMG · Riposte + Heal — keeps the counter-attack chain alive, no Euphoria required.

Why this team works

Ezio Auditore leans on Riposte, Corvus stacks Crit with Dynamo, and Sentinel converts Crit hits into Bloodtithe — three different resources feeding off the same Crit-focused rotation. Loggerhead pairs Riposte with Heal to keep the counter-attack loop alive. All four run without any Euphoria.

Take the Hard Journey

Mineral · Mixed DMG · Sturdy + Heal — support core, feeds Sturdy to the team.

5★

Barbara Survival

Melodies Old and New

Spirit · Mental DMG · Shield + Heal — team healer, keeps the Heal carries alive.

Why this team works

37, Oliver Fog and Cristallo all tap into Sturdy together with Shield — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Barbara keeps the line-up alive with Sturdy so that payoff has time to land.

Extra Action

6★

Flutterpage DPS

On the Hand of Time

Star · Reality DMG · self-Continuous Action — second Incantation grants herself an actual extra turn (【Continuous Action I】) on landing, no Euphoria required.

6★

37 Sub-DPS

6★

Fatutu Support

That Inquisitive Dear

Mineral · Mental DMG · Shield + Dispel — 【Spirit Shell】 stacks plus a mass dispel of Stats Down/Neg Status/Control keep the front line able to keep re-casting, no Euphoria required.

6★

Pickles DPS

Luxurious Leisure

Mineral · Mental DMG · Riposte + Moxie — Ultimate grants the whole team DMG Dealt +30% for 2 rounds, cashing in on every extra swing Flutterpage and 37 generate, Euphoria (E1) required.

Why this team works

Flutterpage's second Incantation grants herself an actual bonus turn — 【Continuous Action I】 — every time it lands, and 37's passive banks Eureka both from her own casts and whenever any ally takes an extra action, cashing 5 Eureka in for a free 【Supplementary Formula】 follow-up hit. Fatutu's mass dispel and 【Spirit Shell】 stacks keep the front line clean enough to keep re-casting, and Pickles' Ultimate hands the whole team a DMG Dealt +30% buff that cashes in on every extra swing the other two generate.

Team building — quick answers

What is the best team in Reverse: 1999?

There is no single best team — the game rewards matching your damage dealer to the stage. In practice the strongest builds stack one mechanic (Burn, Poison, Crit) from several Arcanists at once, then add one Survival unit so the damage-over-time has time to land. Pick the team above whose damage dealer you already own.

Can I clear the game without Euphoria?

Yes. Every team marked "No Euphoria needed" on this page is fielded entirely by Arcanists whose ranking does not assume an unlocked Euphoria, so a free-to-play account can build it as-is at Insight III.

How many Arcanists does a team need?

Four slots, but only three do the work in most fights: a damage dealer, a support that amplifies them, and a Survival or second support. The fourth slot is a substitute — use it to raise bond, or swap in one of the flex picks listed under each team.
