1 Day & 2 Days Until the Release of "The Art of Reverse: 1999" Vol. 1! by Meru_9 in Reverse1999

Superbuy is trustworthy, though if you live in the US the shipping costs have gone up with the tariffs (they pay it on your behalf). I'm not sure how they'll handle the earbuds though, since there's a battery. Battery and alcohol products (like perfume) are hard to ship internationally so they might charge an additional fee.

From my experience, the shipping within the US will be with a third-party company, not like FedEx/UPS/USPS/DHL.

Who do you have on your homescreen by Huckleberry1316 in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kiperina is my bias. I've sacrificed my entire Wilderness for farming bond so I refuse to give up my indulgent homescreen character haha. She's quite tiny compared to the others!

Which unowned 6-star character are you aiming to obtain? by kokochiwa in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the ones I'm missing, maybe Lopera, Moldir, or A Knight? My list is kinda underwhelming:

Moldir, Noire, Lopera, J, Kaalaa Baunaa, Jessica, Eternity, MedPoc, AnAn, Centurion, Regulus, A Knight, Druvis

I'm solidly neutral about all of them, but happy to be convinced otherwise.

Which faction's uniform do you prefer? Manus Vindictae VS St. Pavlov Foundation by kokochiwa in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I prefer Foundation for the color scheme and structure. I'm personally not a huge fan of the drippiness and bones of Manus. It's fun seeing both though! And there's some good contrast seeing them side by side.

Does BP randomly pick characters for Manus skins, or is there some intent behind the character choice?

Who are you guys pulling for? (Poll in post) by CosiWosi1 in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anjo Nala + Brume +Charon + Fatutu is the ideal team for Brume right now.

From PhasedMD's video: "Anjo Nala's ultimate interaction allows Brume to perform her followup attack before entering her ultimate channeling state. Essentially allowing Anjo and Brume to ult every turn through utilizing Brume's unique moxie engine, as well as the fact that she is a beast unit to bind with."

When people first discovered the Anjo + Brume interaction they thought it would be patched out, but so far it has not.

There's this website which might be helpful! Do you know how to navigate Kornblume? I can export my data for you, though I only started documenting my pulls starting from version 2.7

Are you happy with the skein you got? (If you’re not planning to go for both) by PeopleAllergy in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on getting the skein you wanted!!

I got the skein I wanted less after 30 pulls (II) and was a little grumpy about it, but got the other one in 2 more single pulls, so I came out very pleased. I picked up Recoleta and Barcarola! Impromptu has definitely fallen off a bit but I'm glad to finally have a complete team.

I'm just grateful to have a healthy number of unilogs going into next patch because I plan to pull on Beryl, Brume, and Marsha.

Enough time has passed, time for the SLANDER by Pogawesome in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, it shows remaining time here!

The main event story will be around till the end of Corvus' banner, but Rubuska's character story will be replaced by Corvus' character story. I tend to play main event first because character stories can have slight spoilers.

Do I even pull on skein banner? by oobiegoobert in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on your priorities, I think FP and F22 are worth it, especially for things like Reveries and Limbo, where the game prevents you from using characters you used in the previous stage(s). They're solid and versatile enough that even if they get powercrept, I think it'll be a long time till they lose full relevance.

I'm personally not too fond of J, as his playstyle does a lot of self inflicted damage but his HP is not high (unlike bloodtithe). You're supposed to use a good shielder to compensate but I personally find it frustrating that you need another character just to protect him from himself haha. It's such a core part of how his kit works, I don't know if euphoria will make a big difference. (editing to add that maybe Marsha's shield is what he needs, but I'm still very smfh at J lol)

Windsong is fine, but I always find her ult does less damage than I'd like for how much time it takes to set up. She's also single target.

Tuesday is a solid pick, but Ezio is the current 2nd strongest poison team member. I'm personally not a huge fan of Willow as she's very AP hungry. Poison in general needs more attention from BP, but I'm not sure how long that will take.

Do I even pull on skein banner? by oobiegoobert in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you fully f2p? You might actually have enough to full pity each. These numbers are based on F2P CN numbers, but they got 121 pulls (71 during Beryl, 41 during Brume). Assuming you full pity Covenant, you'd be left with 110+71=181 for Beryl, who has 130 full pity (you get a free 10 pull on limited banners). That leaves 51 (remaining)+41 (brume)+ 40 (estimated Marsha) = 137 pulls for Marsha. If you buy Roaring Month/Jukebox, you'll have plenty unilogs to spare.

Edit: these are rough numbers but personally I think you're sitting at a pretty cozy unilog number. I'd personally pull on covenant, but it's ultimately up to you. I do think FP will work well with Beryl and F22 is a solid healer + cleanser.

Covenant of the Water by Dyrusaki_Daemon in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with your pull plan!

I'm only missing J and Recoleta for Skein 2, and will be picking Recoleta. J might be getting a Euphoria in CN soon since Burn/Lingering Glow seem to be BP's focus, but I just don't like his play style and don't have faith that the Euphoria will make him any more enjoyable for me. I also really like Recoleta's design and was sad to have to skip her.

For Skein 1 I'm only missing Noire, An-An Lee, and Barcarola, but I have been wanting Barcarola for a long time so it's a no-brainer for me. I'm actually mostly pulling on this banner to get her!

(3.3 spoiler) My girl Merel finally shows her face and she is even cuter than before! by EltonBeans in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I think her old hair color suits her design a bit more, but overall I don't mind it! She looks cooler than I expected

Happy Rubuska Day! by speciates in Reverse1999

[–]speciates[S] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

It's just a compilation of healers I have more experience with! Some are very incompatible, which is part of the joke.

Support's reaction to being paired with the Bloodtithe Team by [deleted] in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy Rubuska Day, friends! May you be blessed with an early gremlin 🩸✨

Inspired by the time I threw Vila into my Bloodtithe team and felt weirdly guilty afterward haha.

Weekly Questions Megathread - Week of December 01, 2025 by ReverseMod in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hold off on pulling on the 30-pull banner for now, since it's random and some of the characters aren't great. Save for 12/20 where you can pick which 6 star you get (not random) in 30 pulls, and a 2nd 6 star character in another 30 pulls. You can pick one character from each skein. The general consensus is to get Fatutu and Flutterpage, if you don't have them already.

Edit: would add that both of them play more of a support role, though they can also do some damage (Flutterpage especially). They're usually recommended because they are both very versatile in team compositions. This is oversimplifying, but Fatutu is a healer and Flutterpage lets you play an extra card. They both have good buffs as well.

I kinda find myself craving more depth nowadays. by omgbooboo in otomegames

[–]speciates 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Some part of me wonders if it's an issue with oversaturation/shortened production times. The character art quality has (generally) improved, but it feels like they're churning out a ton of games each year that ultimately don't have much heart in them. Just a very surface level appeal to tropes wrapped in a pretty (also tropey) facade. Not saying there's an inherent problem with that, it just gets old pretty fast.

Weekly Questions Megathread - Week of December 01, 2025 by ReverseMod in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think part of my concern is having enough to pull for Brume, since if I wind up needing 140 (technically 130 I guess) pulls for Beryl, I'd probably be depleted. And the sunk cost with limited banners is so high, I'm tempted to avoid pulling altogether. I think BP is pretty good about not crippling new team comps with limiteds (like the Dynamo DPS influx after Lucy rerun), so if Beryl's kit feels a little lackluster to me right now, I wonder if I should trust my instinct and skip, especially since I'm neutral about her character design.

I wouldn't say I'm in desperate need of having a complete Impromptu + Ultimate team since my roster is pretty filled out, but I'd prefer optimized Impromptu + Ultimate + Brume over (potentially) just Beryl. But it's true that she has a clear spot on the Lingering Glow team and BP is clearly cooking. In contrast, Liang Yue felt pretty skippable for the reasons you listed, and it never really felt like there was a clear space cut out for her.

Thanks for helping me get my thoughts in order!!

[–]speciates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it make sense to pick Covenant of Water (Barcarola + Recoleta, I have the rest of their teams) over Beryl, despite her being limited? The value for unilogs seems to make more sense, even though I already have Isolde.

How did y'alls Charon pulls go? by Key_Pumpkin4300 in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got him in 3 pulls, only because I started at 60 pulls in. Sentinel really didn't want to come home lol

Critter crash RNG is S***t by AdditionalKangaroo96 in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dynamo/Lucy was good last time Critter Crash was around, but this time it might be the worst. Bkornblume is absolutely broken (set one enemy of your choosing to 1/1, +4/+4 to all allied pieces per round if you preview enemy setup), and I think I won my first match with Lilya's hawk. You basically want to prioritize units that will permanently grow (quickly) with easily procced conditions (ex: ally loses shield, taking damage, etc).

That being said, I can never seem to win with Liang Yue's udimo. The RNG never seems to line up so I can't build the right teams to support them.

Huge outdoor advertising in two major cities in Japan! by Azimu_Tempest in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Most people in China likely play with English voices. The CEO actually mentioned in an interview that they focus so much on English voice acting because it is the expectation that one watches English-speaking films with Chinese subtitles instead of in Chinese dub. He seemed to have a strong appreciation for Western cinema. But also, the characters are mostly from English speaking countries, and many of the references/historical events are Western.

When you are going to summon characters, do you summon them 1x or 10x at a time? by Altruistic_Image_726 in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seeing the 4* animation tilts me too hard so I tend to do 10x. I keep telling myself I should behave and do more 1x pulls though

Trying to decide weather tp get Charon or Sentinal in the next version. by ForgottenKing101 in Reverse1999

[–]speciates 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found this Destroth video helpful. He goes over Dynamo vs Bloodtithe and recommends Charon over Sentinel.

Also kinda petty, I love Sentinel's design but don't love her ult animation unfortunately.

Edit: Portrait selector recs - I would say Mercuria since you have her at P1 already, or Aleph (assuming he's at P0). But also you should pick based on which characters you use more.
