Summary

Rerolling means starting a brand-new account, playing through the early pulls, and abandoning that account if you don't like the result. In Reverse: 1999, rerolling is slow going: you have to sit through (or skip) a long prologue before you even reach your first pulls. There is no in-game "reset account" button — to start over you log out and sign back in with a different guest account or a new email through Settings → Account.

Is rerolling worth it?

Reverse: 1999 is fairly F2P-friendly: early chapters and low-level Limbo content are clearable with the free story-given Vagrants plus a handful of lower-rarity Arcanists, so you don't strictly need a 6-star from the start.

  • Reroll if you want a strong, clearly-defined 6-star to build your account around from day one.
  • Skip rerolling if you'd rather dive into the story right away or you dislike replaying the opening.
  • Weigh the time cost carefully: because you have to sit through or skip the prologue every single time, rerolling here takes noticeably longer than in most other gacha games.

How to reroll, step by step

Since there's no reset button, the real way to reroll in Reverse: 1999 is to create an entirely fresh account each time.

  • Install the game and log in with a guest account or an unused email — each different login creates a separate account.
  • Play through, or tap skip on, the prologue to unlock your first batch of pulls. This is the slowest part, since the opening story runs long.
  • Spend your starting currency and tickets on the banner you're targeting.
  • Not happy with the result? Go to Settings → Account, log out, then log back in with a different guest account or email and start over — that's the real "reset" in this game.
  • To speed things up, run the game on an emulator with multiple instances so you can push several accounts through the prologue at once.

Which Arcanist should you aim for?

Rather than fixating on one specific name, aim for a 6-star with a clear, reliable role you can build around. Arcanists such as Isolde, Getian, Tooth Fairy, and Willow have been rated as strong and versatile picks at various points — each fills a different role (damage, support, or a mix of both).

  • Prioritize a 6-star with an obvious main job (primary damage, or steady healing/support) over one that only shines in a narrow team.
  • Because the game is quite F2P-friendly, almost any 6-star can carry you through content well — don't grind reroll after reroll chasing one exact name.
  • Check current community tier discussion for the version you're on, since rankings shift with every new Arcanist release.

When should you stop rerolling?

Since every reroll cycle here costs real time sitting through the prologue, it's worth deciding your stopping point in advance instead of rerolling indefinitely.

  • Stop once you land any 6-star with a clear role you're happy with — you don't need to hold out for one exact dream pick.
  • Stop if the number of attempts has gone past the point where it's still fun; the extra rerolls usually aren't worth trading away real progress time.
  • If replaying the opening isn't for you, it's completely fine to skip rerolling and just play with the free story-given Arcanists, since Reverse: 1999's early game doesn't demand a powerful team right away.
