Reroll Guide

Should you reroll in Reverse: 1999? Learn whether it is worth it, how to do it, and what kind of Arcanist to aim for.

Summary

Rerolling in Reverse: 1999 means restarting the early game to get a strong Arcanist from your opening pulls. It is optional: the game is beginner-friendly, so reroll only if you want a specific powerful unit to anchor your account.

Should you reroll?

Rerolling is a personal choice rather than a requirement. Early content is clearable with story-given and lower-rarity Arcanists, so many players skip it entirely.

  • Reroll if you want a strong, flexible Arcanist to build your account around from day one.
  • Skip rerolling if you would rather start progressing immediately, or if you dislike repeating the intro.
  • Consider your patience: rerolling means replaying the opening multiple times.
How to reroll

The general reroll loop is to reach your first pulls quickly, spend them, and restart if you do not get what you want. Exact steps depend on the current version and account options.

  • Play through the intro until you unlock your first batch of pulls.
  • Use your accumulated premium currency and tickets on the pull you are targeting.
  • If the result is unsatisfying, start over on a fresh account or via the game's account reset option where available.
  • Repeat until you land a unit you are happy to build around, then commit to that account.
What to aim for

Rather than chasing one specific name, aim for an Arcanist that gives your account a strong, flexible foundation. Priorities shift as new Arcanists release, so judge by role and versatility.

  • Prefer a high-rarity unit with a clear, reliable role (strong damage, sustain, or broadly useful support).
  • Value flexibility: an Arcanist that performs well across many teams beats a narrow niche pick for a first account.
  • Check current community tier discussion for the version you are playing, since the best available options change over time.
  • Do not fixate on limited or featured banners from memory; confirm what is actually available in your current version before deciding.
FAQ
Is rerolling necessary to enjoy Reverse: 1999?

No. The game is beginner-friendly and early content is clearable without a top-tier opening unit. Rerolling is a convenience for players who want a strong anchor immediately.

How long does a reroll take?

It varies by version and by how quickly you clear the intro, but each cycle takes a meaningful chunk of time because you replay the opening. Budget for several attempts if you are targeting a specific unit.

What if I don't get the unit I want?

You can keep rerolling, or simply start playing; most accounts can catch up over time through steady progress and future pulls. A single missing unit rarely blocks early or mid game content.
