Reverse: 1999 Reroll guide

Considering that the Global version of Reverse:1999 has been adjusted compared to the CN one, it's actually worth rerolling now. The changes to the early game and added QOL lowered the time needed to do a single reroll from 1 hour to 30 minutes (Efficient Reroll) and 10 minutes (Fast reroll).

In this guide we will explain both reroll options and provide you with tips how to do it efficiently - and who to aim for obviously.

The first thing you will need to prepare if you plan to reroll is your phone or an emulator. While the game has a PC client available and the Guest Account feature is there, the only way to reset it is by reinstalling the whole game. By comparison, when using an emulator, you can abuse the master instance trick to quickly restart the process.

Reroll on your phone

While Reverse:1999 has a Guest Account system, it takes 15 days to delete it (via Support) and what's worse, Clearing Cache doesn't remove the Guest Account. We also tried reinstalling the game, rooting the device and none of the less-intrusive methods seem to work. This means that the only option for you to reroll on mobile is using the Salt Method.

The Salt Method abuses a mechanic available in Google Gmail. Here's how it works:

• To use a salted email, you add a +anything between the name and the @gmail portion of your e-mail address when you create an account. For example, if your gmail account name is myname@gmail.com, a salted e-mail would be myname+anything@gmail.com.
• The string behind the + symbol can be any letters or numbers of any length. Still, to easily keep track of rerolled accounts, we recommend using numbers - so the email you will use to register will look like this myname+1@gmail.com. Any e-mails sent to a salted e-mail will be redirected to the e-mail without the salt used (and you will receive a code to input in the client to confirm account creation).

If you're super serious about rerolling, we suggest to create a sheet or a txt file where you will track what salted account got what pulls.

Once you're done with rolling, you can simply bind the account using Google or Facebook to avoid using the salt email to login.

Also, for iOS users - we're not sure if reinstalling the game will remove the guest account, but most likely it won't. So you will have to reroll on an Android device, PC or emulator, bind the account and then play on your default device.

Reroll on an emulator

This option is better for those who have a decent PC and can handle multiple instances at once - or just can reroll using a single instance. Since the game is turn-based and reaching the place where you can reroll takes roughly 10 minutes, it's easy to synchronize your instances and not lose your mind while you're doing it.

We suggest using BlueStacks for playing Reverse:1999 as the game works very well on it and allows you to easily reroll to start strong. Also, if you download BlueStacks from our link, you will support the website!

Here's how the emulator reroll process works:

1. Install BlueStacks via the above link and open the Multi-Instance Manager.

The feature is available in the bottom left corner of the main BlueStacks application after launching it - check the below image.

2. In the Multi-Instance window, click the blue Instance button in the bottom left corner.

• In the window that appears, pick Fresh Instance in the first step,
• In the second step, we suggest picking Pie-64,
• If you're planning to reroll using a single instance only, then pick the best possible settings (for example 4-cores, 4GB Ram), but in the case you want to try the multi-instance reroll, pick 2-cores and 2GB Ram instead - this will allow you to launch more instance at the same time,
• After creating the instance, rename it to Reverse 1999 Master.

3. Launch the newly created instance.

4. Open Play Store, login, and install Reverse: 1999 or use APK instead of the game isn't available in your region.

5. Launch Reverse: 1999.

While in the majority of other games at this point you would clone the instance, Reverse: 1999 is a special case. The user ID cookie is created when you login, not when you launch the game. This means, you can safely open it, download all the in-game updates without worrying about bricking the instance.

6. When you reach the Login screen, close the instance.

7. Go back to the Multi-Instance manager and Clone the Master instance as many times you need.

8. You're ready to start the the reroll hell!

Now you simply need to launch the cloned instance (or instances), reroll and when you don't get what you want simply delete the instance and create new ones via cloning. This method is a lot faster compared to the commonly used methods with Clearing Cache or Renaming the data folder.

9. Done with reroll? Bind your account so you don't lose it!

Also after binding you can start playing using the official PC Client.

In the first banner, you'll only have three characters to reroll for: Regulus, Lilya, and Eternity. All three of them are incredibly strong characters, and your choice will depend on the type of team member you are looking for. You should go to their character pages to read more about them but we’ll sum it up to basics here.

Regulus

Damage Dealer, Support

Pros & Cons:

• Very versatile, good synergy with a variety of teams, but especially with crit-oriented teams.
• Crit-oriented damage dealer, with free +50% crit-rate up from her passive.
• AP Generous, since she only tends to act every other round.
• Can reduce Moxie from enemies and give [Conceal] to allies.

• Has to spend every other round without attacking in order to make use of her passive, which can slow down the fight.
• [Conceal] isn't really needed until later in the game.

• Doesn’t need much investment to be effective.
• Tanky, gains immunity to [Bleed], [Corrode] and [Poison] at Insight 1, and to [Status Down] at Insight 3.
• Can work in full teams, duos, or solo.
• For duos, it’s recommended to bring someone who can reliably buff her and who has some self-survivability as well.

• At early levels and when working alongside a full team, needs a healer.

“Amid the Water” is the standard banner for those who are willing to suffer pursue a different 6✦ option for their account. This banner is the one you will pull on in the Fast Reroll path.

Note: Once their run on their debut banner is over, the new 6✦ characters are added to the regular pool three patches later, and thus once that happens they can appear in any other banner that isn’t “The First Drop of Rain” or even receive a standard rate up banner once more.

Here are the 6✦ characters available on the banner that you can aim for:

Centurion

Damage Dealer

Pros & Cons:

• One of the strongest Damage Dealers in the game,
• AP generous,
• Has two playstyles: one focused on ult (AoE) and one focused on skill (ST),
• Can inflict [Weakness],
• Has self-sustain at i3.

• Honestly, none.

And here are some great 5✦ characters that are worth grabbing (as a bonus on top of the 6✦):

Bkornblume

Charlie

Damage

Pros & Cons:

• Matches Lilya's DMG at Portray 3+ (Charlie P5 > Lilya P5),
• Has an easier time getting Portrays due to 5 star rarity,
• One of the best Carries from release.

• Doesn't synergize with Crit oriented units (most of the Star Afflatus),
• Doesn't synergize with buffers once Insight 3 is reached as her self-buffs overlap.

Balloon Party

Sustain

Pros & Cons:

• Can provide mass healing for the team based on the amount of health lost, which can save you in dire situations,
• Can provide a mass counter, which is where a significant portion of her damage will come from,
• With Party Balloon, her damage increases and deals quite a bit. With Insight I, she can activate it up to 3 times when a round starts. Furthermore, with Insight III, the Party Balloon also becomes permanent,
• The Party of Innocence reduces the damage taken, and she can apply this in mass alongside Party Balloon with her Ultimate.

• In order to get her counters out, it should be noted that her [Coughing Weirdo] skill needs to be at least level 2,
• Require investment to her Insight in order to get more consistent Party Balloons.
