Reverse: 1999 Version 3.5 Rate Up Banners Guide – Best Banners To Roll On

Reverse: 1999 Version 3.5 Rate Up Banners – Which Banner To Roll On

During the Version Update 3.5 – The Turquoise Serpent Club for Reverse: 1999, players will be able to have the chance to roll on several different rate up banners, featuring 2 brand new 6* characters Lorentz Butterfly and Ramona in addition to several returning characters.

Brand New Character Rate Up Banner – Lorentz Butterfly (May 28th – June 18th)

The first rate up banner players can roll on is the rate up banner for the brand new 6* character introduced in version update 3.5 – Lorentz Butterfly.

Lorentz Butterfly is a 6-Star Arcanist of the Intellect Afflatus and is a character of the Lingering Glow Archetype. He specializes in supporting the Lingering Glow team by providing them with massive amounts of benefits, allowing the team to maximize their damage output.

Lorentz Butterfly’s main gimmick lies in his 3rd Rank Inheritance, which allows him to grant all Lingering Glow allies extra Moxie whenever they don’t use their Ultimate, helping to reduce the set up time for the Lingering Glow team. Not only that, while Lorentz Butterfly is on the team, Lingering Glow Allies’ Ultimate are not counted towards the Incantation Limit for the turn, allowing players to use more Incantation Skills of other characters while also using their Ultimate. Based on the number of Lingering Glow allies in the team, he can increase the maximum Burn stacks that can be inflicted onto enemies by up to 15 stacks and massively increases the team’s overall damage output as well, with the maximum support value capping at 3 Lingering Glow Allies.

Should You Roll: It Depends. Lorentz Butterfly is a very strong enabler and support character for the Burn and Lingering Glow team and generally only serves his purpose in this team. So if players already have a Lingering Glow team ready, getting Lorentz Butterfly will massively improve the team’s rotation and damage output. 

Aside from that, Lorentz Butterfly also has the utility of duplicating Incantation Skills on his Ultimate, making him a generally fun character to use in different teams. However, this utility is generally just for fun and doesn’t really make him the best in other teams other than Lingering Glow.

6* Rate Up Selector Banner – Ripples On The Water (May 28th – July 2nd)

Alongside the rate up banner for Lorentz Butterfly, another special banner will be available at roughly the same time: the Ripples On The Water 6* Character Selector Banner. On this banner, players will be able to select 1 among the 6 different 6* characters to be the rated up character: Spathodea, Tuesday, Isolde, Willow, Sotheby, Tooth Fairy.

Importantly, the first 6* character players obtained from this banner will be guaranteed to be the character they selected as the rate up character. However, in exchange for this, the pity of this banner will not carry over to other banners.

Spathodea, with her Euphoria buff, is generally used as a substitute Carry option for the Lingering Glow team if players do not have the Limited Character Beryl. She can do a generally decent amount of damage, however, is relatively weak in nature despite her buffs.

Tuesday is a Poison team enabler and support character that became even stronger with the release of her Euphoria Buff. Tuesday is able to store allies’ Moxie stacks, inflict Poison stacks onto enemies and increases the overall Poison damage dealt to all enemies based on Poison stacks, helping to optimize the Poison team’s damage output as long as she is in the team.

Isolde is a core character of the Burn and Lingering Glow team. Isolde excels at inflicting enemies with massive amounts of Burn DoT debuffs with her abilities and follow up attacks, helping the Lingering Glow to build up their stacks extremely quickly. Additionally, Isolde also helps boost the team’s overall damage output by reducing enemies critical damage resistances.

Willow is another Poison enabler and Sub DPS character, capable of inflicting multiple stacks of Poison with her Incantation Skill and ability while also inflicting enemies with special debuffs that deals more Genesis damage to them, making her a core character for the Poison team.

Sotheby is a sustain character that is able to both inflict Poison stacks on enemies and heal allies based on the amount of DoT debuffs on enemies. However, despite having a buff, Sotheby’s sustain ability is extremely lacking due to her slow healing effects, making her relatively not recommended to roll for.

Tooth Fairy is an Arcanist that serves as a support and enabler for the different Impromptu teams. She provides the team with powerful Impromptu Incantation damage buff in addition to being able to provide healing to the team, allowing her to be slotted in as a secondary support and sustain for both the Plant Impromptu and the Star Impromptu teams.

Should You Roll: It Depends.

Among the 6 6-star characters on rate up, the ones with the most benefits that players will find are Isolde for the Burn and Lingering Glow team as she is a core component to make the team works and Tooth Fairy for the Impromptu team, with her new Euphoria buff allowing her to become a very strong enabler and damage support for both the Star and Plant variation of the team.

For the other 4 6-star characters, both Tuesday and Willow can be considered only if players are intending on building a Poison team alongside Ramona. Spathodea and Sotheby are generally not worth rolling for since they are heavily outclassed and don’t do much despite having Euphoria buffs.

Brand New Character Rate Up Banner – Ramona (June 18th – July 2nd)

The other brand new 6* character being introduced in Reverse: 1999 update patch, Ramona rate up banner will be available right after Lorentz Butterfly’s.

Ramona is a 6-star Arcanist of the Plant Afflatus and serves as the Poison team brand new main carry character, capable of both inflicting Poison stacks on enemies and is able to deal powerful damage by being able to detonate Poison stacks on enemies additional times.

Ramona is a powerful debuffer and main DPS character for the Poison Archetype and team, capable of constantly inflicting massive amounts of Poison stacks to enemies while also dealing powerful damage to enemies by detonating the Poison stacks on enemies.

Should You Roll: It Depends. Ramona is generally regarded as the savior of the Poison team, with her ability to detonate Poison stacks and overall damage output being extremely high, elevating the Poison team back to high tier status. However, the Poison team itself suffers several major flaws due to different endgame bosses being completely immune to Poison, making it hard to justify building it if you want to clear all of the contents.

That being said, if you want to build a Poison team, players can get all the components they need with Ramona banner and both Willow and Tuesday being rated up, so getting her is not a bad consideration.

6* Rerun Banner – Brume & Corvus

The last major banner that players should focus on during Reverse: 1999 Version update 3.5 is the rerun banner featuring 2 6-star characters – Brume and Corvus. During this banner, both characters will have a 70% chance to appear as the 6* character when you obtain a 6* on the banner and the first 3 multies of the banner will be discounted from 10 pulls per multi to 8 pulls per multi.

Brume is a 6-star Arcanist of the Beast Afflatus and is one of the game’s strongest Arcanists to be released by far thanks to her amazingly powerful support and damage skill kit that can elevate one of the game’s gimmick team – Dynamo – into the best team in the game. Brume excels at supporting the entire team’s damage while also doing amazing damage herself with the help of other Dynamo support characters, creating a very strong buff cycle that massively improves the overall damage output of the entire Dynamo team

Corvus is a 6-Star Arcanist of the Intellect Afflatus and is a main DPS character for the Dynamo team and is often considered the team’s best ST option due to her high damage output. She excels at long fights by making use of the Dynamo team’s channeling effects to deal powerful single target damage to enemies.

Should You Roll: Yes For Brume, It Depends For Corvus. Brume is one of the most powerful Characters in the game as she completely elevates the Dynamo team and can be used in other teams aside from Dynamo due to her amazing utility and support effects. Therefore, if players don’t have her yet, getting her is highly recommended.

As for Corvus, if players don’t have a Dynamo DPS character, Corvus is generally a very strong DPS option for the team that players can use. However, depending on the team comp, players can also just use Brume as the team’s main DPS character, so getting Corvus is generally an option rather than an obligation for the Dynamo team.

Conclusion

With that, we have gone over all of the important banners that will be rated up during Reverse:1999 Version Update 3.5. We hope that with the help of this guide, players will be able to plan their pulls in advance by topping up in Reverse: 1999 in advance with the help of Enjoygm to be able to obtain the best characters to complete their teams.
