Zima (Зима) Reverse 1999: Top Psychubes, Teams & Playstyle Tips
Zima (Зима), a 4-star Plant Afflatus support character in Reverse: 1999, excels in crowd control and team buffs through Silence and Seal debuffs alongside damage and healing enhancements.
His kit focuses on disabling enemy abilities while boosting ally performance, making him ideal for control-heavy teams despite modest damage output. Low investment requirements enhance his accessibility for early-game players.
Skills Breakdown
Zima's skills emphasize strategic debuff timing and team utility.
Sparrow (Attack, 1-target): Deals 300% Mental DMG at base; at level 2+, inflicts Silence for 2 rounds, blocking enemy Buffs, Debuffs, Heals, or Counters. Use at rank 1 for Moxie farming or rank 2+ for control against buff-reliant foes.
Paper (Buff, Mass): Grants all allies +25% DMG Dealt and +25% DMG Heal for 3 rounds; adds Penetration Rate +10% when caster's HP >50% on attack, and DMG Taken -10% when <50% on hit. Portray Lv.3 upgrades to +30% DMG Heal.
Poem, Island, Breeze (Ultimate, Mass Attack): Deals 250% Mental DMG to all enemies, applying Seal (blocks Ultimates) for 2 rounds on main target; Portray Lv.1 boosts to 280%.
Playstyle Tips
Prioritize survival with HP, DEF, and DMG Taken Reduction builds to keep Zima alive for sustained buffs. Time Sparrow for Silence on healers or buffers, then chain into ultimate for Seal to lock enemy Ultimates, creating openings for DPS.
Paper's dual buffs synergize with healers and attackers; maintain >50% HP for offensive edges, leveraging its conditional reductions. He's passive, so pair with aggressive DPS; avoid over-investing as a low-rarity unit.
