Reverse 1999 Team Tier List

The Reverse: 1999 Team Tierlist compares the performance of various archetypes (and teams within those archetypes) against each other. As factors we take things like the team’s overall DPT (damage per turn), how difficult it is to pilot and the relevancy of specific team compositions. All of these teams can comfortably clear general content like Story, Limbo and Events while player competence and adherence to specific stage mechanics dictates whether they can clear endgame content like Mane’s Bulletin and Reveries or not.

The rankings of these archetypes are based largely on their usage in said endgame content, so the early and mid-game isn’t really factored in (unless explicitly stated otherwise).

It is important to note that teams/archetypes generally have more team flexibility than what is shown here, in the tier list we display only the optimal compositions per team. Consider flexing out units depending on your needs or access to specific characters.

Final note, yes most of these team names are vines. We are losing the ancient texts, and I am adamant about bringing unc culture to the new generations.

We have not divided this Tierlist into categorizations. With the aim to accomplish the following:

  • Ensure that all archetypes are ranked in viability alongside the character tier list, giving a deeper look into the game’s meta.
  • Allow players to find the best teams within each archetype, which the Team Database doesn’t provide.

When assessing the power of an archetype for its placement, only the best character combinations are considered (with flex slots where the viability of a unit is equal to certain others). As mentioned before, placements on the tier list are determined by their overall DPT across stages in the endgame (Raid, Reveries) with higher teams being strictly stronger than those in the tiers below.

All teams shown are capable of easily clearing all content that isn’t considered high-end.

The compositions listed aren’t the only synergies that function for an archetype, but they are the ones capable of outputting the highest damage. For a ranking of all characters, please refer to the standard Tierlist.

  • "In Me Mum's Car Brume Brume" (Brume): Swapped all positions due to the particularity of the team. You want Fatutu/Marsha in front of Charon due to his [Amplified Surge] granting [Simplified Ritual] to himself and the ally in front (Anjo/Brume already get free Ults). Charon wants Pos2 because he'll use Lopera's Psychube on [Pulsing Field] installments.
  • "In Me Mum's Car Brume Brume" (Brume): Removed Kiperina. Added Marsha.
  • "You're All Going To Hell, Goodbye!" (Glow): Added Spathodea as a flex for the Carry slot, she's a bit worse than Beryl but her output is enough to where it's viable.
  • "You're All Going To Hell, Goodbye!" (Glow: Added Lorentz Butterfly. She is now a slight BiS over Flutterpage, but Flutterpage remains as a viable flex pick option (especially if Beryl has Portraits)).
  • "Daddy? Do I LOOK-" (Igor Ult): Changed Lopera/Getian position. Igor's Insight 1 makes Lopera spread her [Bullet]s regardless of position so it doesn't matter where she is.
  • "Give Me Your Damn Money" (Ezio Ult): Removed Melania. The output discrepancy between Melania(E) and Getian(E) in terms of damage is too big to warrant ever using Melania(E).
  • "Flute Solo Impromptu" (Star): Swapped Tooth Fairy(E) and Aleph. In Starpromptu, Aleph is more important so Tooth Fairy(E) becomes the flex spot.
  • "Flute Solo Impromptu" (Star): Removed Voyager(E). While useable, Regulus(E) is strictly better in terms of personal output and targeting uptime. Only in 3+ target situations does Voyager(E) edge out over Regulus(E).
  • "Benefit From Reading" (Upgrade): Added Argus(E) to Carry.
  • "Benefit From Reading" (Upgrade): Added Lorentz Butterfly.
  • "Geneva Suggestions" (Poison): Added Lorentz Butterfly. She is a viable flex pick over Jessica(E) due to her ability to print cards for Willow(E) and Tuesday(E). It does require you to slot in Marsha over Vila(E), but this is done in endgame content regardless as Vila(E)'s healing doesn't keep up. I am refraining from moving the team up in the rankings for now as I deduce (based on Limbo buffs, Tuesday Euphoria and all Poison units getting reruns) that Ramona will be a Poison Support and want to wait and see what she brings to the table.
  • "Geneva Suggestions" (Poison): Removed Kakania. Added Marsha.
