Understanding her incantation skills is crucial before discussing the best Psychubes and Reverse 1999 teammates for Baby Blue build. Baby Blue deals Mental damage and can inflict debuff with her basic incantation skills. Here are the details of her skills:

Tea Party (basic): Baby Blue’s basic incantation skill, Tea Party, inflicts 200% damage with one and two-star cards and 350% damage with a three-star. Additionally, it reduces the enemy’s Mental defense by 25% for two rounds and 35% for three rounds with two and three-star cards.

Cough Syrup (basic): The basic incantation skill, Cough Syrup, applies mass debuff on all enemies. It reduces their damage by 15%/20%/25% and increases their damage taken by the same amount with one/two/three-star cards.

Tea with Friends (Ultimate): Baby Blue’s Ultimate, Tea with Friends, inflicts 250% Mental damage on all enemies. She inflicts Nightmare for one round if the enemies are in Stats Down, Neg Status, or Control Status. Enemies cannot use any of their incantation skills under Nightmare status.

Baby Blue’s kit is simple. She debuffs enemies and lets the damage dealers obliterate them. She is an excellent fit for the team built around Arcanists with Mental damage, like Regulus. It is because the Tea Party Ultimate can reduce enemies’ Mental defense by up to 35% for three rounds. It can also inflict up to 350% damage.

Her other incantation skill, Cough Syrup, debuffs enemies but is less potent than Tea Party. Cough Syrup only reduces their impact and increases the damage taken. Although any team, Mental or Reality, can benefit from it, Tea Party can also deal damage in addition to reducing mental defense by a considerable amount.

Baby Blue’s Ultimate inflicts less damage but has an effective debuff, Nightmare, that restricts enemies from using any incantation skill. However, the target must be in Stats Down, Neg Status, or Control statuses to inflict the Nightmare status effect.

Timekeepers must ensure the target is debuffed by her basic incantation skill to apply the status effect, which requires extra action. With careful planning, Baby Blue’s kit can be an excellent support.

With that said, below are the best Psychubes, Insight Materials guide, and teammates for the best Baby Blue Build.
