Avgust can fulfill the role of a healer or support character in this Reverse 1999 team. Timekeepers must always put him before the healer and behind the DPS characters while building their team due to his buff nature. They can use the following Arcanists while building a team with this 5-star Arcanist:

• Marcus: DPS
• Vila: Healer
• Druvis III: Sub-DPS
• 6: Support
• Jessica: DPS
• Getian: Support
• Isolde: DPS
