Reverse 1999 Brimley build guide: Skills explanation

Here are Brimley’s skills in Reverse 1999:

• Keep Up The Pace! (Basic Skill 1): This skill deals Mental damage equal to 120%/180%/300% to two enemies with one/two/three-star cards. It also grants him three stacks of Horsemanship. The character consumes all Horsemanship stacks causing the ally in Riding Double status to cast a one-star card of its Basic Skill 2 once (can trigger once per round).
• Hop On! (Basic Skill 2): The arcanist buffs an ally, granting him Riding Double status for two rounds (Only one can exist on the battlefield).
• Giddy Up, Mate! (Ultimate Skill): This skill deals 300% Mental damage to all enemies. After attacking, he inflicts a 20% Reality defense debuff on the target for three rounds. Then, he causes the unit in the Riding Double status effect to cast a one-star card of its Basic Skill 1 once (can trigger once per round).

Details of Brimley’s effects:

• Riding Double: This increases the attack of an ally taking an extra action by 5% of the 5-star arcanist’s attack.
• Horsemanship: He can cast Keep Up the Pace! after the Horsemanship reaches three stacks and causes the unit in the Riding Double status effect to perform a follow-up attack.

As a sub-DPS character, Brimley synergizes excellently in a team with characters that can cast follow-up attacks. If the characters deal Reality damage, he can boost their damage by applying Reality defense debuff. He synergizes well with the latest 6-star character, Flutterpage of Star Afflatus (as a DPS).

Here is the list of other great teammates for this 5-star character:

• Lucy (Intelligence): DPS
• Lily (Star): DPS (with Euphoria)
• Anjo Nala (Beast): DPS
• 3 (Star): DPS

Players can use healers based on the DPS character they use. The best ones right now are Villa of Plant Afflatus, Tooth Fairy of Star Afflatus, and Kakania of Plant Afflatus.
