Reverse: 1999 is a stunning game with a load of beautifully designed characters – but beyond their great design there is the important question which ones are good or not – and this is the guide you will need where I tell you which ones are strong and which ones are not.
Update! This tier list is for the launch and doesn’t include characters that are available on the Chinese Servers but not in Global. I kept it plain and simple and evaluate only the tier for early and late game so you see what characters are good also in the beginning, which ones get stronger/weaker and which ones to hold on to. This is for the launch in October and will become more detailed in the coming weeks.

Late:
An-an Lee

One of the most incredible buffers in Reverse 1999 and although her Break Time and Exorcism Time can read a little confusing but is working really well with pretty much all setups..
Rarity:6✦
Afflatus:Plant
Early:
Late:
Eternity
S
Available in the beginner banner and is really tough to take out, doesn't require much investment which deals damage and self-heals..

Late:
Bkornblume
S
Although support can deal solid damage and debuff enemies well..
Rarity:5✦
Afflatus:Plant

Any team that uses crits can rely on her which scales so many possible team setups..
Rarity:6✦

Afflatus:Star
Early:
Late:
Regulus
S
Not too hard to build and doesn't rely on crit like many others and has quite a stable and reliable damage output through that without hunting a crit setup..
Rarity:6✦
Afflatus:Star
Early:
Late:
Balloon Party
S
Provides mass healing and counter and has some alright damage as well, so what else can you ask for?.

Afflatus:Plant
Early:
Late:
Sonetto
A
You get her for free and build her from progressing the game and she is surprisngly strong throughout the game with universal buffs that make her a great plug-and-play hero in many teams and she has also decent damage output..
Rarity:5✦
Afflatus:Mineral
Early:
Late:
Dikke
A
Is unlocked on the 8th day of logging in for free and can work as healer and also DPS to a certain extinct. If you save up the healing skills and let them merge automatically you can get a lot done with this character..
Rarity:5✦
Afflatus:Beast
Early:
Late:
A Knight
A
Super universal damage dealer that fits in almost all teams super well and can cycle well through the ultimate skill..
Rarity:6✦
Afflatus:Spirit
Early:
Late:
Druvis III
A
Controls with Petrify and has consistent mass damage output and I like the balance between survivability and damage output as some damage dealers are just glass cannons. There are characters that deal more damage but I still like her a lot..
Rarity:6✦
Afflatus:Plant
Early:
Late:
Baby blue
A
Outstanding support for Mental Damage teams by weakening the enemies but also quite relying on enemies having debuffs so her kit works well..

Afflatus:Plant
Early:
Late:
Eagle
B
Can be really squishy and although you get her for free at the end of Chapter 1 and she has high damage potential, but at one point you will face reality with her so she is more an early-game carry in Reverse 1999.
Rarity:4✦
Afflatus:Plant
Early:
Late:
Bette
B
Although easy to build and raise, her buffs are only single-target so she is not a great team buffer and more with a strong carry character and also her low base stats will become a problem the further you progress in the game.
Rarity:3✦
Afflatus:Mineral
Early:
Late:
Erick
B
Cheap to build and in early game a good crit support character for crit teams but completely single-target andnot much more in the kit.
