The Star Afflatus Charlie has DPS and Dispeller tags in Reverse 1999 and inflicts Mental damage upon enemies. Here are the details of her skills:

Thunder To Thee (Basic): This is a one-target incantation skill, dealing 180%/270%/450% damage with one/two/three-star cards. If Charlie is in Stats Up or Pos Status, it deals 40%/60%/100% additional damage.

Tempest To Thee! (Basic): This is another one-target incantation skill, dealing 180%/270%/450% damage with one/two/three-star cards. If Charlie’s HP exceeds 50%, it deals 50% additional damage with all-star cards.

I Stand Alone On The Stage (Ultimate): Charlie’s Ultimate skill starts mass attacks on all enemies, dealing 300% damage. She also debuffs all Pos Status, Status Up, and Counter from enemies.

Charlie is a DPS Arcanist in Reverse 1999 who can deal massive damage with her basic incantation skill. In the right conditions, her damage can increase significantly. Her Ultimate’s ability to dispel buffs from enemies can be helpful while facing bosses.

The Thunder To Thee basic incantation skill can deal with up to 550% damage when Charlie is in Pos Status. At Portray 5, this skill’s total damage (with additional damage) increases to 650%. At P5, her Ultimate’s damage increases to 500% from 300%. Moreover, at P3, she deals additional damage when her HP is below 80% with Tempest To Thee.

Each Portray level (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5) significantly boosts Charlie’s damage-dealing ability. Timekeepers must max out her Portray levels to use her as a DPS in a Reverse 1999 team, which can be convenient considering her 5-star rarity.

Best teammates for Charlie in Reverse 1999

Charlie serves as a robust DPS in a team, so Reverse 1999 characters that help boost her damage synergize well with her. The Spirit Afflatus Twins Sleep and Star Afflatus Baby Blue Arcanists can reduce the Mental defense of enemies, allowing Charlie to deal more damage.

While Timekeepers can use healers with Charlie, a Shielder might be a more viable option due to her ability to deal additional damage when her HP is below 50%. The Beast Afflatus Tennant is one of the best shielders who can also deal decent damage.

If Timekeepers prefer a healer, the Beast Afflatus Medicine Pocket is the best choice. Her ability to debuff enemies can significantly help Charlie’s damage-dealing.
