Reverse 1999 Lopera build guide: Skills explanation

Here are the skills of Lopera in Reverse 1999:

• Double Backups (Basic Skill 1): She deals 200%/300%/500% Reality damage to enemies with one/two/three-star cards. Additionally, she converts her Flaming Bullet to Incantation Bullet and Ritual Bullet, granting the former to teammates in front and the latter to the ones behind. Each teammate can receive only one Bullet from Double Backups.
• Winning Chips (Basic Skill 2): She enters the self-channel, Ready to Shoot status. Additionally, she gains 5/8/12 stacks of Flaming Bullet for herself with one-/two-/three-star cards.
• More Than Alchemy (Ultimate Skill): She buffs herself, creating a Crucible Arsenal array for three rounds.

Explanation of status effects

• Flaming Bullet: Inflicts three Burn stacks while attacking.
• Incantation Bullet: Grants a 25% Incantation Might boost while attacking.
• Ritual Bullet: Ultimate Might buffs by 25% while attacking.
• Ready to Shoot: If this channel is active at the round’s end, the Arcanist casts one Bull’s Eye incantation. This channel will be removed if there are no stacks of Flaming Bullet.
• Bull’s Eye: It deals 150% Reality damage to a single enemy and grants Right on Target to all allies for two rounds. If the enemy has 20 Burn stacks, the effect of Right on Target will double.
• Right on Target: Gain a critical damage buff equal to 10% of the Arcanist’s critical damage.
• Crucible Arsenal: Grants a 40% critical rate buff to the Arcanist. When triggering a Bullet effect, she retains the final Bullet of that Bullet type and converts extra critical damage at a 40% rate. The conversion rate increases by 10% for every type of Bullet she possesses (up to five times). This effect lasts three rounds.

• Outside The City: She gains a 5% critical damage buff after casting Bull’s Eye, which can stack up to 10 times. She gains a 12% critical rate buff at 10 stacks.
• Blasphemer Of Night: She gains a 24% Damage Dealt buff while attacking an enemy with two or more Neg Status.

Timekeepers should use The Third Commitment Psychube for the best Lopera build. They can use Stray Off The Path if they want a DPS build for the Arcanist. The other two Psychubes can be used if one doesn’t have The Third Commitment or Stray Off The Path.
