Reverse 1999: Guide to Rerolling Strategies

Reverse 1999, developed by Bluepoch, is a strategic RPG gacha game. It was initially launched in China in May 2023, and later had a global release in October 2023, after undergoing certain modifications. One notable improvement involved reducing the time required for rerolling, thereby allowing players to make better gambling rolls in a shorter period. This guide will provide an overview of the different methods for rerolling and highlight what players should aim for during their rolls.

Before delving into the details of rerolling, it is crucial to mention that players will need a phone or emulator, as the PC client necessitates a reinstallation for each reroll attempt. To reroll on a phone, players can employ the "salting" technique, which involves creating a salted email. This can be done by appending a "+(letters and numbers)" line to the original email address, just before the "@gmail.com" section. For instance, if the original email is Bob@gmail.com, it can be transformed into Bob+123@gmail.com. Although the game recognizes this as a distinct email address, the emails will still be directed to Bob@gmail.com.

Reroll Method #1: Beginner Banner

The initial reroll technique involves players attempting to obtain a guaranteed 6-star unit from the beginner banner. This special unit will be obtained within the first 30 summons on the beginner banner, known as Unilogs. The three units that can be obtained from this banner are Lilya, Eternity, and Regulus, all highly regarded by the community for their exceptional abilities, thus making them invaluable assets throughout the game.

Completing this reroll method typically takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes per reroll. Players are advised to utilize the skip button, conveniently located in the top right corner during story segments, to expedite the process and skip unnecessary story content.

Upon reaching stage 1-4 and claiming the pre-registration rewards from the mail, the player will already possess 11 summons, which is necessary for progression. If the initial 10 pulls do not result in obtaining a 6* unit from the beginner banner, it is advisable to continue playing the story. At account level 3 and account level 5, the player will receive an additional 10 summons each, satisfying the requirement of 30 pulls to guarantee a 6* unit.

The ideal outcome for this banner is either acquiring a 6* unit early on (within the first 10 or 20 summons), obtaining multiple 6* units (if they drop simultaneously in a single 10 pull, as the banner will vanish thereafter), or successfully acquiring the desired unit. In the absence of any of these outcomes, the player may consider attempting another reroll.

Reroll Method #2: Limited Banner

The second reroll method involves avoiding the beginner banner temporarily. This method is faster but may require more attempts. The objective is to obtain a 6* unit within the first 10 summons received from pre-registration rewards. Players who succeed with this method can still access the beginner banner later.

Once again, players should bypass the story and reach stage 1-4. The remaining required summons will be received via mail. Once obtained, players should perform a 10 pull and hope to obtain a 6* unit, ideally the desired one. If unsuccessful, they should begin the process again. It's important to note that the drop rate for a 6* unit in this reroll method is only 1.5%.

For this method, players have the freedom to choose which banner to pull on. It is recommended to opt for the limited rate-up banner if the player is interested in the currently highlighted character, as the standard and limited banners do not offer the same pity system. There is a 50% chance that the player will not receive the featured character but instead obtain a character from the standard pool. Players can choose to repeat this method until they obtain their desired character, but it's important to note that the odds are not in their favor, and it may take a considerable amount of time.

Should Players Reroll?

Playing Reverse 1999 via the global client offers the advantage of faster and easier rerolling. However, players should only reroll if they are truly committed to obtaining a specific character or element. In Reverse 1999, all characters are viable for the game's content, so chasing after the meta is not necessary. If players do choose to reroll, any option or banner will yield a good character. It's worth noting that obtaining a 6* unit from the limited-time banner will not prevent players from benefiting from the beginner banner. Reverse 1999 is now available on Mobile and PC.

Editor's P/S

Reverse 1999 is a strategic RPG gacha game that was initially launched in China in May 2023 and later had a global release in October 2023. The game allows players to reroll their accounts in order to get the best possible starting characters. There are two main methods for rerolling: the beginner banner method and the limited banner method.

The beginner banner method involves attempting to obtain a guaranteed 6-star unit from the beginner banner. This special unit will be obtained within the first 30 summons on the beginner banner, known as Unilogs. The three units that can be obtained from this banner are Lilya, Eternity, and Regulus, all highly regarded by the community for their exceptional abilities, thus making them invaluable assets throughout the game.

The limited banner method involves avoiding the beginner banner temporarily and instead focusing on the limited rate-up banner. This method is faster but may require more attempts. The objective is to obtain a 6* unit within the first 10 summons received from pre-registration rewards. Players who succeed with this method can still access the beginner banner later.

Personally, I prefer the beginner banner method as it guarantees a 6-star unit. However, if you are looking for a specific character, then the limited banner method may be a better option. Overall, rerolling is a great way to get a head start in Reverse 1999. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can increase your chances of getting the best possible starting characters.
