Reverse: 1999 S-Tier Characters at a Glance

S-Tier Breakdown: Who to Pull First

Beryl deals one of the highest amounts of single target nuke damage in the game through Halo mechanics, and his signature FUA nuke is very compatible with Afterglow-like teams. He is repeatedly considered as one of the most dominating DPS cores in the current meta.

Brume himself doesn't do much damage to enemies, but he immensely boosts teamwide FUA output that he is basically a required member in all FUA teams.If your team leans on Follow-Up Attacks, Brume is close to mandatory.

Ezio Auditore accumulates a debuff called Admonition that allows him to unleash powerful AoE nukes, thereby turning him into one of the damage dealers that can be counted on the most versatile heroes. On poison-based compositions is where he really shines. There are occasions when people have successfully used Ezio to clear Limbo stages after just two turns, provided they built him right.

Windsong specializes in FUA burst through her Song of Passion kit, making her especially strong at shredding boss health bars quickly. She pairs well with channel-focused supports to keep her damage output consistent across turns.

Flutterpage buffs the whole team's FUA frequency through stacking Gust effects, making her a strong pick alongside other FUA-reliant units. She's most effective when built into a team specifically designed around rapid Follow-Up Attacks.

Fatutu generates shields that bounce between allies, supporting aggressive playstyles that want to stay on offense without sacrificing survivability. He synergizes particularly well with units that benefit from Crit and Shell bonuses together.

Recoleta scales her damage exponentially the longer a fight goes through her Passion Drain mechanic, making her a strong pick for sustain-heavy teams built around longer engagements. She rewards patient, long-form team comps rather than quick bursts.

Nautika consumes her own HP to self-buff, functioning as a tanky FUA-focused attacker that fits naturally into Bloodtithe-style teams. Her kit rewards players willing to build around HP-scaling damage rather than standard Crit setups.

Anjo Nala enables large Reality damage spikes through her Array mechanic, making her a valuable support pick for teams that lean on Reality-type damage dealers. She's less flashy than the DPS units on this list but noticeably raises a team's damage ceiling.

Vila heals regularly and simultaneously improves team Incantations passively. She is actually the best option when it comes to S-tier sustain heroes since her heal is pretty much steady. She can be counted upon in most of the games as a support that works well right away without needing much setup.

Sonetto is a good early pick who doesn't lose her effectiveness even in the late game. She brings DPS as well as debuff cleanse utility to the squad and it is hard to see her being under used. Since she is fairly accessible and her role doesn't diminish as you progress in the game, she is one of the best heroes to play for new Timekeeper players.

Burst DPS vs. FUA Teams: Which Playstyle Should You Build?

Ultimately, your best S-tier picks rely largely on your preferred playstyle:

Go with Burst DPS if you like: powerful attacks in a very short span of time that make you end the whole fight immediately. Beryl and Ezio Auditore are excellent representatives of this kind of damage dealers since both of their abilities are mostly focusing on finishing the enemy quickly either one-on-one or when several enemies are involved. Because of that, they fit perfectly for contents which have limited time.

Choose FUA Teams if you want: sustained, stacking damage across multiple turns. Brume, Windsong, and Flutterpage form the backbone of most FUA compositions, where Follow-Up Attacks trigger repeatedly to snowball damage well past what a single burst can achieve.

From Reverse: 1999's banners rotate and resources are limited, prioritize based on what your roster is missing:

·Which S-Tier Character Should You Pull First?

• No strong DPS yet: Beryl or Ezio Auditore — both provide immediate, build-friendly damage that carries most content.
• Building a FUA team: Brume first, then Flutterpage or Windsong — Brume's amplification makes every other FUA unit hit harder.
• Need sustain or support: Vila or Anjo Nala — both keep a team alive and functional without needing niche team comps.
• New or F2P-focused accounts: Sonetto — she's accessible early, stays relevant late, and doesn't require heavy investment to perform.

What to Prioritize First After Pulling an S-Tier Unit

Once you've secured a strong S-tier character, Insight levels matter more than raw stat investment early on, since they unlock core kit upgrades rather than incremental boosts. After Insights, focus resources on Psychubes that match the character's damage type, since these often provide the single largest damage multiplier available. Team synergy should come last in your planning, not first — a strong solo unit still needs the right supports around it to hit its full potential.

Best Meta Team Comps for Current S-Tier Picks

Conclusion

Beryl, Brume, and Ezio Auditore remain the strongest overall picks in the current Reverse: 1999 meta, covering burst DPS and FUA amplification that most top-scoring teams are built around. Players focused on sustain should prioritize Vila or Nautika, while newer Timekeepers get the most long-term value from Sonetto. Whichever units you pull, matching Insight and Psychube investment to your team's playstyle matters more than chasing every S-tier character at once. Ready to secure your next pull?
