Best Characters To Obtain From The 6-star Selector

The following characters are the best characters for players to pick among the selectable characters from the 6-star Selector due to their relevancy in the overall meta of the game, making them worth getting and investing in in order for players to clear the different end game contents in the game

The characters of this category includes:

Melania

Medicine Pocket

Druvius III

Melania

Medicine Pocket

Druvius III

Explanation:

Melania

Melania

Afflatus

Beast

Role

Main DPS/ Sub DPS

Melania is a Beast afflatus 6-star character that specializes in enabling different types of Moxie and Ultimate based teams with her amazing Moxie recovery and stealing skill kit, allowing her to not only boost the other characters’ ability to quickly gain Moxie to use their Ultimates more often but also boosting other character’s Ultimate damage output.

Melania can serve as either a main DPS carry character with her decently high damage output skill kit or a sub DPS character that supplement other character’s Ultimate damage output thanks to her Euphoria effects in addition to granting the entire team critical rate and critical damage boosts, making her a very strong stable option for Ultimate based team comps.

Players can also consider getting extra copies of her to boost her Portrait level to boost her damage output even further.

Medicine Pocket

Medicine Pocket

Afflatus

Beast

Role

Support/ Sustain

Medicine Pocket is a 6-star Character of the Beast Afflatus that specializes in healing and removing debuffs from all allies with their amazingly powerful healing capabilities and supporting effects. Medicine Pocket’s main power lies in their amazingly AP-generous skill kit that can reliably heal all allies by a large amount while also providing teams with generic but powerful debuffs that help boost the team’s survivability even further.

Medicine Pocket’s Arcane Skills allow them to debuff enemies with critical rate and critical damage down, reducing the threat of enemies’ attacks while also consuming allies HP to grant the entire team a massive shield and healing allies back up upon consuming HP. Additionally, Medicine Pocket’s ultimate also allows them to deal a decent amount of damage to all enemies.

Players should consider getting Medicine Pocket as a strong generic sustain option for different teams and end game contents, with their value increasing with each new character release.

Druvis III

Druvis III

Afflatus

Plant

Role

Sub DPS/ Support

Druvis III is a 6-star Character of the Plant Afflatus that specializes in supplementing other allies’ damage by granting them buffs that help deal additional damage to the enemies and reduce enemies’ critical resistance and defenses.

Druvis III’s main power and gimmick lies in her ability to grant all allies the Circle of Life buff, allowing other party members to deal additional damage proportional to Druvis III’s attack for every attack they do, with each attack reducing the enemies’ critical resistances and defenses, allowing other characters to deal critical attacks easier and with more damage.

While she shines best in Plant teams, Druvis III generic strong debuff and skill kit makes her a very good Support and Sub DPS character to have for different types of end game contents.

 

Worthwhile Characters To Obtain From The Selector

The characters in this section are generally good characters that players can consider picking from the selector if they already have the characters from the best category. These characters perform well in their own niche and teams but lack the generic quality that makes them the most meta options to pick from the selector.

The characters from this section are:

Sotheby

Eternity

Voyager

Sotheby

Eternity

Voyager

Jessica

Pickles

Lilya

Jessica

Pickles

Lilya

Explanations:

Sotheby

Sotheby

Afflatus

Plant

Role

Support/Sustain

Sotheby is a 6-star character of the Plant Afflatus that specializes in healing characters and dealing damage to enemies based on the amount of DoT debuffs enemies have on them, with the more DoT debuffs on enemies allowing Sotheby to heal allies more reliably while amplifying the amount of DoT damage dealt to enemies.

Sotheby’s main gimmick makes her completely reliant on a DoT damage based team to become a decently strong damaging and sustain character, reducing her overall usefulness for end game contents unless she is together with a proper team.

Players can consider getting Sotheby if they intend on building a DoT based Plant team or just want an additional healer.

Eternity

Eternity

Afflatus

Mineral

Role

Main DPS/ Sub DPS

Eternity is a 6-star character of the Mineral afflatus, she specializes in dealing damage to all enemies proportional to her own Max HP and consuming her HP to gain Bloodtithe to boost her own and other allies’ damage output.

Eternity’s main gimmick allows her to be the main carry DPS for Max HP and Bloodtithe team, with her damage output being very strong when she is invested properly.

However, if players have obtained the limited character Nautilus then there is no point in obtaining Eternity from the selector as Nautilus completely outranks Eternity as the main DPS option for Bloodtithe teams.

Voyager

Voyager

Afflatus

Star

Role

Sub DPS/ Support

Voyager is a 6-star character of the Star Afflatus and she serves as the sub DPS and support option for Impromptu Teams, enabling Impromptu team’s main DPS to be able to deal more damage to more enemies in exchange for slightly reducing the amount of damage they do.

Voyager’s main gimmick allows her to crowd control large group of enemies and direct the damage target of the Imprompty team’s main DPS, making the team damage output more consistent overall. However, that is her only gimmick, making her less useful when she is not in an Impromptu-centric team.

If players intend on building an Impromptu-centric team, obtaining Voyager is a decently good consideration.

Jessica

Jessica

Afflatus

Plant

Role

Sub DPS/ Support

Jessica is a 6-star Character of the Plant Afflatus whose specialties lies in inflicting large amounts of DoT debuffs on enemies and amplifying the DoT damage all enemies receive with her powerful skill kit.

Jessica’s gimmick allows her to enable the different DoT centric team comps by inflicting enemies with a large amount of Poison, making her a very strong Sub DPS and Debuff enabler for DoT-centric teams with a main DPS that can detonate DoT. She also pairs extremely well with Sotheby to form a DoT team.

If players want to make a DoT team, Jessica is an amazing character to consider despite the DoT team generally suffering damage-wised in recent end game contents.

Pickles

Pickles

Afflatus

Mineral

Role

Support

Pickles is a 6-star character of the Mineral Afflatus, he specializes in providing Mineral characters with buffs and debuffs enemies in order to boost the general damage output of the team with his amazing supporting capabilities.

Pickles’ kit mainly revolves around boosting the main DPS character with powerful buffs, including attack up, defense up and more. If the main DPS character is a MIneral Afflatus character, the buffs will be enhanced and Pickles himself will be able to launch extra attacks against the enemies whenever the ally attacks the enemies. Pickles can also disable the enemies with his debuff skill, preventing them from attacking and help protect the team.

Pickles is a decently good pick if you are in need of a generically good buffer, especially for Mineral teams.

Lilya

Lilya

Afflatus

Star

Role

Main DPS/ Sub DPS

Lilya is a 6-star character of the Star Afflatus and is a strong single target DPS carry character that can convert her critical rate into critical damage in order to deal big amount of critical damage to enemies.

Lilya’s main strong point lies in her high damage modifiers as a single target DPS character and the fact that she can convert any extra critical rate on herself into critical damage, not wasting any good stats on her. However, this gimmick is also her downfall as it almost entirely requires her to pass 100% critical chance with her build, somewhat making her damage suffer in the process due to lower conversion rate.

If players are in dire need of a decently strong boss killer, then Lilya is a decent choice to pick for the selector.

Characters Not Worth To Obtain From The Selector

Finally, the characters in this category refers to characters that players should not obtain from the 6-star Character selector due to various reasons, either because their skill kit is too niche for the different end game contents of the game or because they have been severely outranked by other options in the game, making investing in them less desirable overall and making it harder to justify selecting them as the free 6-star character.

These characters are:

Ms. Newbabel

Sharmane

An-An Lee

Ms. Newbabel

Sharmane

An-An Lee

Explanations:

Ms. Newbabel

Ms. Newbabel

Afflatus

Mineral

Role

Support/ Sustain

Ms. Newbabel is a 6-star character of the Mineral Afflatus that have the ability to grant all allies shield and critical rate increase as long as the allies have her shield on them. Additionally, when an ally with a shield is attacked, she will deal a counterattack, helping to supplement the team’s damage output.

The main problem with Ms. Newbabel is that her shield amount is relatively low, making it an extremely unreliable form of sustain for the team. Additionally, her counters are relatively low in damage, making it just a slight bonus that doesn’t help the team overall.

If players are looking for a sustain option, both Medicine Pocket and Soltheby are more reliable picks than Ms. Newbabel, so it is not recommended to pick her for your selector.

Shamane

Shamane

Afflatus

Beast

Role

Sub DPS/ Support

Shamane is a 6-star character of the Beast Afflatus that focuses on buffing the team’s Moxie gain and Ultimate damage output by granting them an Ultimate damage up buff as well as debuffing the enemies.

The main problem with Shamane is that his buff is relatively slow to activate and only lasts for a short period of time, with the buff itself not offering much in terms of damage increase overall even when it is active. There are other characters that fulfill this role better than him, including Melania who is also in the selector. Therefore, it is not recommended for players to pick Shamane for the selector.

An-an Lee

An-an Lee

Afflatus

Plant

Role

Sub DPS/ Support

An-an Lee is a 6-star character of the Plant Afflatus that is a supporting character with the ability to rank up incantation skills of the foremost ally, allowing them to use their skill more efficiently. Additionally, she herself can switch between 2 different modes, alternating between her defensive and offensive mode with her effects changing depending on her mode.

The main problem with An-an Lee is that the utility she offers is not enough for the current meta of the game, with the majority of the game’s major team focusing on Moxie and Ultimate rather than Incantation Skill. Additionally, due to her effect changing depending on her form, it is very difficult to manage her properly in a team.

As a generic buffer, An-an Lee is a decent character, however, there already exists stronger support for specific team comps in the game, making An-an Lee less valuable as a whole in terms of meta.

 

Conclusion

With that, we have gone over all the strengths and weaknesses of all 12 6-star characters that players can obtain from the special Reverse: 1999 2nd Anniversary selector ticket.
