Understanding her kits and skills is essential for the best Tennant build. She has two incantation skills that dish out damage and one incantation that grants shields to the whole team. Here are the details of her skills in Reverse 1999:

A Shiny Diamond (basic): Tennant’s basic incantation skill, A Shiny Diamond, inflicts 200%/300%/500% damage to a single target with one/two/three-star cards.

A Bouquet of Galaxy (basic): Tennant’s mass buff skill grants all allies a shield equal to 80%/120%/200% of her attack with one/two/three-star cards for one round. Additionally, it reduces damage taken by 20% while the shield is active with all level cards.

A Sincere Heart (Ultimate): Tennant’s Ultimate, A Sincere Heart, wreaks 550% damage and loads two rounds of Diamond Bullet status effect. The Diamond Bullet reduces the enemy's Reality defense by 30% for two rounds.

Tennant’s kit ensures the enemies take damage and her allies stay safe during the battle. She can deal with up to 500% Mental damage with her Ultimate, which can increase to 700% at Portray Level 5. Her shields from A Bouquet of Galaxy also increase by up to 225% of her attack at Portray Level 2, further strengthening the team’s survivability.

Timekeepers can use her as sub-DPS with Arcanists that inflict Reality damage, like A Knight and Centurion due to her Ultimate’s ability to reduce Reality defense. It’s also highly advisable to fully upgrade her Insight levels because she grants shields and gains a stack of Diamond Bullet at the start of the battle at Level I. At Insight Level III, Tennant grants shields immediately if she starts a round with HP below 50%.

Below are the recommended Psychubes, best Reverse 1999 Arcanists for Tennant's team, and Insight Materials guide for the best Tennant build.

His Bounden Duty: When equipped with His Bounden Duty Psychube, Tennant can recover HP equal to up to 120% of her attack at Amplification Level 5. It also grants a 12% damage bonus at Level 60.

Brave New World: The six-star Psychube, Brave New World, boosts Tennant’s Ultimate strength by 18% at Level 60. Her incantations strength casted after A Sincere Heart boosts 40% at Amplification Level 5.

The Footloose: The five-star Psychube, The Footloose, boosts Tennant’s Ultimate’s strength by 15% at Level 60. At Amplification Level 5, the amount of damage Tennant inflicts increases by 16% if her HP is below 50%.
