An overview of Brimley’s skills in Reverse 1999 has been provided below:

• Keep Up the Pace (Basic Skill 1): Brimley deals damage to two enemies with Keep Up the Pace. He gains one stack of the Horsemanship effect after attacking. Once the Horsemanship stacks reach three, he consumes all stacks, causing an ally under the Riding Double effect to cast a rank one card of their Basic Skill 2 (this effect can trigger only once per round).
• Hop On! (Basic Skill 2): This is a buff-type skill that grants the Riding Double effect to one ally. Only one Riding Double effect can exist at a time. Brimley also gains the Horsemanship effect using a higher rank of Hop On! Card.
• Giddy Up, Mate! (Ultimate Skill): This skill deals Mental DMG to all enemies. Brimley inflicts a Reality defense debuff on the target for a certain number of rounds after attacking. Then, he causes the ally in Riding Double to cast a rank one card of its Basic Skill 1 once.

Explanation of Brimley’s status effects:

• Horsemanship: Upon reaching three stacks, he can cast Keep Up the Pace, causing the ally in Riding Double to execute an extra action.
• Riding Double: It increases the ally’s attack based on Brimley’s attack during extra actions.

Brimley's Inheritance or Passive is called Hat-First Into Action. This lets him dispel an additional two Stats Down, Neg Status, or Control statuses at random from an ally while casting Hop On!

His damage dealt increases upon entering the battle at Insight II. At Insight III, he gains the Horsemanship effect (once per round) after an ally performs an extra action. Brimley restores one Moxie to himself (once per round) whenever the ally in the Riding Double takes three actions.
