Ultimate X Build Guide: Best Debuff Intellect Setup for Reverse: 1999

Ultimate X Build Guide: Best Debuff Intellect Setup for Reverse: 1999
X stands as a premier 5-star Intellect Arcanist, dominating as a debuff powerhouse and Reality DPS tailored for Spirit enemy matchups.

Role and Strengths

X excels in dispelling enemy buffs, counters, heals, and statuses while outputting strong Reality damage at 30% bonus against Spirits. His Silence (from Insight I) blocks all enemy utility, and Insight III's Disconcert halts Moxie generation post-Ultimate, crippling boss rotations. This setup thrives in Limbo floors, content farms, and PvE where control trumps raw burst.

Skill Priority

Focus merges on 2-cost and 3-cost cards for dispel reliability before basic attacks.

Coffee or Tea (1★): Dispels [Counter] + single Reality DMG.

Anode and Cathode (2★): Dispels [Stat Up] and [Pos Status] + Reality DMG.
Minimalism and Maximalism (Ultimate, 3★): AoE 250% Reality DMG + 2 Moxie drain per foe.

Max 2★ first for consistent control, aiming for 3★ merges via card draws.
