Reverse 1999 Tier List (October 2025): Current meta

Reverse 1999 Artwork 5

In October 2025, the meta for Reverse: 1999 has evolved sharply, and new Euphorias, balance updates, and team creep have shifted who reigns supreme. Here’s a data-driven breakdown of the current tier landscape, with insights you can use for rerolls, resource investment, and team building.

S-Tier: The Meta Powerhouses

At the top of the food chain, S-Tier characters define the meta. According to Sportskeeda’s 2.6 tier list, these picks currently dominate in most content: Barcarola, Jiu Niangzi, Willow, Windsong, Anjo Nala, Hissabeth, Liang Yue, Tuesday, Voyager, Aleph, Argus, Lopera, Mercuria, Pickles, Ms. NewBabel, Sotheby.

GameRant’s tier list further emphasizes Windsong, Lucy, Recoleta and Kakania in their respective roles.

These S-Tier picks stand out because:

  • They scale extremely well with late-game gear and Psychubes
  • Their kits remain flexible across modes (UTTU, Limbo, Echoes)
  • Their Euphoria upgrades tend to be game-changing

If you’re rerolling or deciding who to hyper-invest in, aim for S-Tier first.

A-Tier & B-Tier: Solid Options with Tradeoffs

A-Tier

These are dependable, often very strong characters, but they lose ground against the S-Tier for scaling or synergy. According to Bluestacks: Willow, Aleph, Anjo Nala rank in A for their useful roles.

Other sources (Pocket Tactics) also list Kakania, Mercuria, Vila in A tier, especially in support and healing roles.

A-Tier is your safety net: you can build them early and they rarely disappoint, but don’t expect them to carry your hardest content without strong team synergy.

B-Tier

B-Tier tends to be niche picks, good in specific comps, but often overshadowed. For instance, Pocket Tactics lists Isolde, Ezra Theodore, Tooth Fairy in B or lower tiers.

These characters are fine for mid-level content or fun builds, but only invest heavily if you really enjoy using them or if they uniquely fill a niche your team lacks.

Meta Trends & Shifts (October 2025)

1. Euphoria “Rescue”

Older units that once fell off are coming back thanks to stronger Euphorias and meta rebalancing. One Reddit commenter notes:

“It is much better for them to become a meta support while retaining their DPS potential.” Reddit

Power creep has also hit the Damage Dealer category hard. Entire archetypes and synergy patterns are being outclassed by newer kits.

2. Team creep & synergy focus

It’s no longer enough to have a strong individual unit, your whole 4-man team must synergize. Prydwen’s team building guide emphasizes flexibility in roles depending on content (tank, DPS, support, etc.)

3. Content diversity forcing balance

With new modes like UTTU Challenge, Echoes of Time, and cyclical Limbo mechanics, some “meta picks” lean too one-dimensional to survive. Rotating meta requirements reward adaptability over raw strength.

How to Use This Tier List

  • Reroll targeting: Go for S-Tier characters to maximize long-term value.
  • Resource allocation: Prioritize leveling, Psychube upgrades, and Euphoria on S-Tier units first, then rotate to strong A-Tier backups.
  • Team building: Always check for role coverage (e.g. support, shield, AoE DPS) rather than raw stars.
  • Stay updated: With future patches coming, meta can shift. Use trusted tier list sources like Prydwen or community consensus as a sanity check.
