Reverse: 1999 Eagle Build Guide: Best Psychubes, Skills & Teams
Eagle is a 4-star Plant Reality DPS in Reverse: 1999, excelling as an early-game burst damage dealer who thrives against debuffed enemies with high crit potential on her Ultimate. She applies a unique [Sense Weakness] debuff (Reality DEF -20%, Crit DEF -20%) to the highest-ATK enemy on entry and gains +15% Crit DMG, making her cheap to build and effective in story content.
Skills
Old Pocket Watch (1-target): Deals up to 450% Reality DMG at max level; +10% Leech Rate and up to +50% extra DMG if target has [Stats Down], [Neg Status], or [Control]. Prioritize against debuffed foes.
Finger Lens (Mass attack): Hits 2 enemies for up to 300% Reality DMG with +30% Penetration Rate (up to +40% at Portray 3).
Between Superficiality and Reality (Ultimate): 400% Reality DMG to 1 target with +40% Crit Rate (upgrades to +100% at Portray 4), converting excess Crit Rate to Crit DMG.
Best Psychubes
Thunderous Applause is top for Eagle, providing 16% Crit Rate at Lv.60 and +16% Crit DMG on 1-target crits, boosting her Ultimate and Old Pocket Watch.
Alternatives include Hopscotch (stacks Ultimate Might on kills), Tomorrow Also (+10% Crit Rate on Ultimate, 20% Crit DMG), An Afternoon Nap (stacks Crit DMG on 1-target crits), or Stray Off the Path for pure crit stats if avoiding mass attacks.
Recommended Teams
Eagle thrives with debuffers to trigger her bonuses and healers/shielders for survival, aligning with user interest in optimized builds like Pioneer.
Beginner/Story: Eagle (DPS), Sonetto (debuff/support), APPLE (heal/leech). Simple setup for fast clears; Sonetto applies [Control] for Eagle's amps.
Debuff Burst: Eagle, debuffer like Nick Bottom (Neg Status), sustainer (e.g., Leilani shield). Maximizes extra DMG on all skills.
Farming: Eagle, quick-cycling support (e.g., Windsong for buffs), healer. Leverage mass attack for waves, sub in control like Pioneer for efficiency.
Build Priorities
Insight I/II: Max Basic and Ultimate first for crit scaling.
Resonance: Prioritize Crit Rate/DMG nodes; aim 200%+ Crit DMG total.
Stats Goal: 50%+ Crit Rate (via Psychube/Portray), 250%+ Crit DMG, 3000+ ATK. She's F2P-friendly but scales with debuff teams.
