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.

No Euphoria needed

Crit Riposte

6★

Ezio Auditore DPS

Falling for a Sweet Phenomenon

Star · Reality DMG · Riposte — counter-attack carry, no Euphoria required.

6★

Corvus DPS

Balance, Please

Intellect · Mental DMG · Crit + Dynamo — second carry, no Euphoria required.

6★

Sentinel Buffer

Beyond Wonderland

Mineral · Reality DMG · Bullet + Crit + Bloodtithe — converts crits into a team resource, no Euphoria required.

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.

Array Bloodtithe

Meta (needs Euphoria)

Array

6★

Semmelweis Buffer

In the Shadow

Mineral · Reality DMG · Array + Moxie — offensive Array anchor, Euphoria required.

6★

Getian Debuffer

Same Old Story

Beast · Reality DMG · Array + Crit + Moxie — second Array anchor, Euphoria required.

6★

Sentinel Buffer

The Fighter's Best Wishes

Mineral · Reality DMG · Bullet + Crit + Bloodtithe — converts Crit hits into Bloodtithe, no Euphoria required.

6★

Rubuska Healer

The Wandering Improviser

Mineral · no fixed DMG type · Heal + Crit + Moxie + Bloodtithe — second Bloodtithe source through healing, no Euphoria required.

Why this team works

Semmelweis and Getian both drop an Array and tag Moxie — placing them together means their Array effects and Moxie generation overlap on the field instead of competing for the same square. Sentinel and Rubuska both carry Bloodtithe, converting the extra Crit/Heal actions the Array encourages into a shared resource pool.

Kiperina

Bullet Barrage

Meta (needs Euphoria)

Bullet Crit

6★

Lopera DPS

The Third Commitment

Beast · Reality DMG · Bullet + Moxie + Ultimate — third Bullet stack.

6★

Sentinel Buffer

Homecoming Lament

Mineral · Reality DMG · Bullet + Crit + Bloodtithe — converts Crit into Bloodtithe, no Euphoria required.

Why this team works

Lopera, Mondlicht and Igor all tap into Bullet together with Crit — combining it across three kits at once outperforms any single carry doing it alone. Sentinel keeps the line-up alive with Shield so that payoff has time to land.

Bloodtithe Sacrifice Loop

Meta (needs Euphoria)

Bloodtithe

6★

Nautika DPS

Embrace the Past

Spirit · Reality DMG · Riposte + self-HP-cost — trades her own Current HP for AoE Reality DMG plus a bonus HP-cost follow-up hit, Euphoria (E1) required.

6★

Semmelweis Buffer

From the Depths

Mineral · Reality DMG · Array + Moxie + team-HP-cost — Ultimate costs all allies 20% Current HP to place 【Blood Domain】, Euphoria (E1) required.

6★

Sentinel Buffer

Homecoming Lament

Mineral · Reality DMG · Bullet + Crit + Bloodtithe — passive converts any ally's HP loss into shared Bloodtithe, then spends it on 【Dread Bullet】 bursts, no Euphoria required.

6★

Rubuska Healer

The Wandering Improviser

Mineral · no fixed DMG type · Heal + Crit + Moxie + Bloodtithe — same ally-HP-loss-to-Bloodtithe passive as Sentinel, and her heals offset the HP the other three spend, no Euphoria required.

Why this team works

Nautika and Semmelweis both spend HP as a resource instead of hoarding it — Nautika's Incantations trade her own Current HP for extra Reality DMG, and Semmelweis's Ultimate costs every ally 20% Current HP to drop the 【Blood Domain】 Array. Sentinel and Rubuska both carry the same passive that turns any ally's HP loss into shared 【Bloodtithe】, so every point the front two spend feeds the Bloodtithe that Sentinel cashes in on 【Dread Bullet】 bursts and Rubuska turns back into team healing.

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.
