Matilda Reverse 1999 Guide: Max Skills, Top Psychubes & Impromptu Synergy

Matilda in Reverse: 1999 is a versatile Mineral Star 5 support character who excels as a Critical Rate and DMG buffer for Impromptu teams, particularly synergizing with DPS like Barcarola or Voyager.

Her kit focuses on Mental DMG output with debuffs like Confusion (reducing enemy Crit Resist) and strong single/multi-target attacks. Maxing her skills and pairing with top Psychubes unlocks her full potential in endgame content like raids.

Max Skill Priorities

Prioritize upgrading Fleeting Revelation (Ultimate) first for its 500% Mental DMG and +15% Crit Rate (up to +23% at Portray 1), making it her core nuke. 

Next, max Ingenious Etude to Level 3 for 450% DMG plus Confusion stacks (-25% Crit Resist per stack), enhancing team crits. Under the Spotlight (mass attack, 300% DMG to two foes at Level 3 with 30% Penetration) is tertiary but valuable for AoE clears.

Top Psychubes

Hopscotch (6-star) stands out as the best, boosting Crit Rate by 16% and Crit DMG by 32% on single-target crits, perfect for her kit. Brave New World (6-star) is a close second, granting 5% Incantation Might after Ultimate with stacking DMG amps (up to 24% extra). For 5-stars, 

Tomorrow Also offers 20% Crit DMG and 20% Ultimate Crit Rate, while An Afternoon Nap works post-Portrait 3.

Impromptu Synergy

Matilda shines in Impromptu comps with Euphoria unlocked (via Portray/Awakening), buffing Impromptu Crit Rate/DMG for allies like Barcarola (+Crit on Incantations) or Voyager. 

Pair her with Ezra (Eureka generation), Tooth Fairy (heals), or Aleph (Sub-DPS/Ultimate boost) for optimal teams like Barcarola-Matilda-Ezra-Tooth Fairy. 

Use Ingenious Etude > Ultimate rotation to stack Confusion, then chain ally Improptus for massive crit chains.
