Reverse 1999 Satsuki build: Skills analysis, best Psychubes, Insight Materials, and teammates

Timekeepers must focus on improving damage output while crafting the best Satsuki build in Reverse 1999. Satsuki is an excellent crowd controller who can freeze enemies by applying the Petrify status effect. However, her damage output is less than that of other DPS characters. Although she enjoys a 30% Penetration rate with Dance of Izu basic Incantation, it only deals up to 300% damage.

By improving Satuski’s damage, she can be a great asset to the team. Timekeepers can spam her attacks for additional damage and help DPS characters defeat enemies.

That said, this article explores the Psychubes and teammates and provides an in-depth skill analysis for the best Satsuki build in Reverse 1999.

Reverse 1999 Satsuki build: Skill analysis

Satsuki delivers Mental damage to enemies with her Incantation skills. Her Ultimate and basic Incantation skill, Handcuffed Thief, damages a single target. Her other basic skill, Dancer of Izu, attacks two enemies. Here is an in-depth skill analysis of this Reverse 1999 Arcanist:

Handcuffed Thief (basic): The basic Incantation skill, Handcuffed Thief, delivers 200%/220%/330% damage with one/two/three-star rank cards to enemies. Additionally, it can apply Rigidity debuff on them for one/two rounds with two/three-star rank cards. When enemies have two stacks of Rigidity, it transforms into a Petrify status effect. Rigidity also extends the duration of the Petrify Status effect.

Dance of Izu (basic): The basic Incantation, Dance of Izu, inflicts 120%/180%/300% damage with one/two/three-star rank cards to two enemies. Satsuki additionally enjoys a 30% Penetration rate.

Walk Down the Sakura (ultimate): Satsuki’s ultimate delivers 500% damage to a single enemy and applies two stacks of Rigidity status effect.

Timekeepers are advised to use First Melody tuning to consistently apply the Rigidity status effect. Upgrading her to at least Insight I is also highly recommended for the best Satsuki build because she inflicts a Rigidity status effect at the start of the battle. With the tuning and Insight effects duo, triggering the Petrify status effect becomes convenient.

By improving Satsuki’s damage, Timekeepers can spam the Dance of Izu Incantation skills to build her Ultimate skill, which applies two stacks of Rigidity that freeze enemies instantly. After the Petrify status is triggered, one can use a stack of Rigidity status to extend its duration.

It’s highly recommended to quickly upgrade her to Insight I and unlock her Inheritance, Taisho Maid, for the optimum Satsuki build.

Reverse 1999 Satsuki build: Best teammates

Satsuki, as a Sub-DPS, synergizes excellently with the Plant-type Arcanist Druvis III. She can extend the duration of Druvis III’s Petrify status effect by inflicting Rigidity on enemies. While using Satsuki, Timekeepers must avoid the Arcanists who inflict Reality damage because it ends the effects of Petrify status.

Besides Druvis III, Star-type Charlie can also take the role of a damage dealer in a team with Satsuki. She inflicts Mental damage and dispels all Stats Up, Pos Status, and Counter from them, and she won’t interfere with the Petrify or Rigidity status effects. You can use Beast-type Medicine Pocket and Dikke or Plant-type La Source as healers with Satsuki.
