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.

6★

Ulrich DPS

Balance, Please

Intellect · Reality DMG · Dynamo + Ult — main Dynamo carry, no Euphoria required.

6★

Charon DPS

Long Night Talk

Spirit · Mental DMG · Moxie + Dynamo — second Dynamo source, no Euphoria required.

6★

Lucy DPS

Blasphemer of Night

Intellect · Reality DMG · Dynamo — A+-tier third Dynamo carry, Euphoria required.

6★

Ms. NewBabel Survival

Remaining Absurdity

Mineral · Reality DMG · Riposte + Shield + Moxie — frontline survival while the Dynamo cycle builds, Euphoria required.

Why this team works

Ulrich and Charon both carry the Dynamo tag and pair it with Ultimate/Moxie respectively — Dynamo resource generated by one feeds the other's payoff. Lucy adds a third Dynamo source at A+-tier damage but needs her Euphoria. Ms. NewBabel survives on the front line with Riposte/Shield/Moxie while the Dynamo cycle spins up.

Rank Up Crit

6★

Mercuria Buffer

One with the Flow

Spirit · Mental DMG · Rank Up + Crit — Ultimate dispels enemy buffs, grants party Crit Rate and 【Rank Up】 to the whole team, Euphoria (E1) required.

6★

Argus DPS

Blasphemer of Night

Plant · Reality DMG · Crit + self-dispel — Ultimate self-buffs +30% Crit Rate/+30% penetration on the same hit, second skill dispels the target's buffs first, Euphoria (E1) required.

6★

Hissabeth DPS

Brave New World

Plant · Mental DMG · Moxie + self-sustaining AoE — 500% board-wide Ultimate fed by her own 【Hiss!】 card engine, Euphoria (E1) required.

5★

Yenisei Support

Take the Hard Journey

Star · Sturdy + Heal + Shield + Moxie — keeps the three offense-first kits alive long enough for the Rank Up/Crit burst to land.

Why this team works

Mercuria's Ultimate is the only kit in the roster confirmed to grant 【Rank Up】 to the whole team, and the same cast dispels enemy buffs while stacking party-wide Crit Rate — both feed straight into Argus, whose passive already locks in a guaranteed Crit and whose own second skill dispels the target's buffs independently, so the two dispels rarely whiff. Hissabeth adds a second wide Mental nuke that runs almost entirely off her own card engine, needing nothing from the other three to keep firing. Yenisei keeps all three offense-first kits alive long enough to land their bursts.

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.
