Reverse 1999 Free 6 Star: Current meta
Obtaining a free 6‑star character in Reverse 1999 is a major opportunity to shape your roster early. But not all choices are created equal. In today’s meta, some picks pull more weight than others thanks to synergy with core mechanics like Dynamo, Electric Field, HP Loss, and Ultimate stacking. Let’s break down how to pick wisely, and which characters dominate the current landscape.
What is the Free 6‑Star Selector
As part of the 2nd Anniversary update (Patch 2.8), Reverse:1999 gives players a free 6‑star selector ticket, allowing you to choose one of 12 potential 6‑star characters from the general summoning pool. The selectable characters are divided by story progress tiers (e.g. Base, 1st, 2nd, 3rd unlock tiers) depending on how far you have advanced.
Because of that tiered unlock system, you may not have access to all 12 initially. But even among those you can choose, there is a clear “best picks” list based on the current meta.
Meta-Relevant Factors to Consider
When choosing a free 6‑star, think beyond raw stats. The current meta rewards:
- Synergy with Dynamo & Electric Field systems
- Ultimate damage scaling and stacking
- High sustain / healing / shielding for longer content
- Works well in multiple team archetypes
These traits help ensure your free pick is not just okay today, but still relevant later.
Top Free 6‑Star Picks in Current Meta
Here are the standout picks from the selector, based on what the current meta structures favor.
Melania
Melania is one of the strongest free choices. She enables Moxie recovery, steals resources from enemies, and boosts Ultimate damage and Crit buffs for the team. She can serve as both a main DPS or sub‐damage enabler in many meta builds.
Medicine Pocket
If your roster lacks sustain, Medicine Pocket is a crucial pick. She provides healing, debuff removal, and damage mitigation via shields. Her kit also includes team utility via AP and support effects.
Druvis III
Druvis III is a flexible support / sub-DPS who helps lower enemy defenses and adds buffs that scale with your team’s damage. She’s especially useful in hybrid or DPS-heavy builds.
Solid Alternatives (If Meta Picks Are Locked)
If you can’t get Melania, Medicine Pocket, or Druvis III (due to unlock tiers), these are still defensible choices:
- Sotheby – good healing and damage synergy in specific team builds
- Eternity – can serve as a DPS option in HP‑based / Bloodtithe teams
- Pickles – solid buffer / support, especially helpful if your team leans Mineral afflatus
- Lilya – a single-target DPS option (but more niche)
- Jessica, Voyager – viable in the right setups (DoT, crowd control)
Avoid Ms. Newbabel, Shamane, An‑an Lee, as their kits tend to underperform in the broad meta compared to the top picks.
Tips for Maximizing Your Free Pick
- Plan for your long-term team direction
If you aim to build Dynamo / Electric Field lineup, Melania or support roles that amplify ultimates make more sense. - Cover weaknesses
If your roster already has strong damage-dealers, going for sustain or buffer roles may offer better balance. - Watch your unlock tiers
Don’t waste selector options on weaker units if a higher‑tier unlock offers better choices. - Invest strongly in Euphoria / Psychubes / Resonance
Even a top pick needs proper gear to stay relevant in higher-end content. - Adapt as meta shifts
Future patches may change balance; avoid overcommitting to one niche without flexibility.
