Ulu Build Guide Reverse: 1999, Max Burn Damage, Ally Buffs & Endgame Tips
Ulu is a powerful Mineral-type DPS character in Reverse: 1999, excelling at applying and maximizing Burn damage while providing crucial ally buffs for sustained team performance. This build guide focuses on optimizing her for peak Burn output in endgame content like Limbo, Deep Dives, and high-level content.
Ulu Skills Overview
Ulu's kit revolves around [Mineral] debuffs that evolve into massive Burn DoT stacks, making her one of the best single-target Burn applicators. Her Basic: Coral Heart deals solid Mineral DMG and applies 1 stack of [Scorch] (a Burn precursor debuff).
Critical to her rotation is Skill 1: Volcanic Stone, which detonates all [Scorch] stacks for Burn DMG equal to 200% of the stacks' value, then reapplies fresh stacks—scaling exponentially with investment.
Ultimate: Earth Fire releases AoE Mineral DMG while refreshing and amplifying ally buffs, tying into her support role. At Insight III, she gains extra Burn conversion on critical hits, pushing her DPS ceiling even higher in prolonged fights.
Max Burn Damage Build (Resonance + Psychubes)
To maximize Burn damage, prioritize ATK% and Crit Rate/Crit DMG on her substats, aiming for 2500+ ATK and a 90/200 Crit Ratio.
Her core Psychube is Her Golden Eyes at S3, which boosts ATK after critical hits and increases Burn DMG by 30% per stack—synergizing perfectly with Volcanic Stone's detonation loop. Pair it with Thunderbolt for raw DMG amps or Lingbo Slash if you need more crit consistency.
Insight III is mandatory for Burn conversion efficiency, and prioritize her Resonance chain upgrades for [Scorch] stack caps (up to 15 stacks). Use Lighter 6 or Centurion 6 for Mineral DMG% panels.
In practice, this setup lets Ulu solo-burn bosses down in Limbo 8-12 by cycling S1 every two turns, outputting 50k+ Burn ticks per cycle.
Ally Buffs Mechanics
Ulu isn't just a nuker; her passive and Ultimate provide stacking ATK buffs to allies affected by her [Scorch], converting 20% of her Burn DMG into team-wide ATK% (up to 50% at max stacks).
This shines in Burn teams, where she buffs carries like Spathodea or 37 while they amplify her DoTs.
Her Skill 2: Magma Flow applies a team [Heat] aura that increases Burn reception by 25% on all allies, making hybrid comps deadly. In endgame, time her Ultimate after a full [Scorch] detonation to refresh buffs mid-wave, ensuring DPS uptime in multi-wave Limbo stages.
Optimal Team Compositions
Run Ulu in a classic Burn core: Ulu (DPS), Spathodea (Burn extender/sub-DPS), and Sotheby (stack applicator/healer).
Sotheby's wines scale Ulu's [Scorch] application, while Spathodea consumes buffs for hybrid Real/Burn bursts. For F2P flexibility, swap to Centurion (shielding) or APPLE (debuff cleanser).
Endgame variant: Ulu + 37 + Druvis III + Buffer (e.g., Tolchokin) for absurd Burn crit scaling—37's crit buffs push Ulu's Volcanic Stone into 100k+ crits. Avoid pure Reality teams; Ulu needs Mineral synergy to shine.
