Reverse: 1999 Enigma Build Guide: Skills Teams and More

Reverse: 1999 Enigma Overview

  • Rarity: ★★★★★★ (6-Star)

  • Afflatus: Intellect

  • Damage Type: Reality

  • Role: Sustain / Support

  • Specialties: Dynamo, Barrier, Team Buffs

Reverse: 1999 Enigma Overview

Strengths: Excellent team protection, strong offensive buffs, cleanses debuffs, and speeds up Dynamo generation.

Weaknesses: Works best in Dynamo teams and isn't the ideal choice for teams that rely on other Array effects.

Enigma is a 6-star Intellect character who fills the Sustain role in Reverse: 1999. He does much more than keep your team alive. Enigma can protect allies with his unique Bastion effect, remove debuffs, boost your team's damage, and help Dynamo teams build their Pulsing Field much faster.

Reverse: 1999 Enigma Skills 

Enigma has a simple but very powerful kit. He isn't a character that deals huge damage on his own. Instead, he protects the whole team, boosts your allies, and helps Dynamo teams build Pulsing Field much faster. Once you understand how each Enigma arcane skill works, it becomes much easier to play him and get the most out of his support abilities.

The Riddle and the Answer (Ultimate)

This is Enigma's most important skill. When you use it, he removes debuffs, negative effects, and control effects from all allies, making your team much safer. He also gains Cipher Machine, which increases your team's Critical Damage and can give an even bigger Damage Bonus based on the Ciphertext your team has used.

The Riddle and the Answer

The Ultimate also gives Enigma enough Loop Chain stacks to instantly trigger Closed-Loop Principle, giving your team even more protection and support. Try to use this skill when your team has built plenty of Ciphertext to get the biggest damage boost.

Infinite Translation 

Infinite Translation is Enigma's main attack skill. It deals Reality Damage to one enemy while giving all allies Ciphertext stacks. At the same time, Enigma gains Dynamo stacks that help charge the team's Pulsing Field.

This Enigma arcane skill should be used regularly to keep Ciphertext available for your teammates and help Dynamo teams reach higher Pulsing Field levels faster.

Meshing Minds 

This is Enigma's main defensive skill. Instead of giving a normal shield, it creates Bastion, a unique barrier that protects the entire team. Bastion blocks incoming damage for everyone and also gives control immunity, making it much harder for enemies to stun or disable your allies.

Meshing Minds 

Because Bastion can absorb a lot of damage, you should try to keep it active as often as possible during longer fights.

Passive Skills and Inheritance 

Most of Enigma's power comes from his passive effects. At the start of battle, he automatically gives your team Ciphertext, gains Dynamo stacks, and creates Bastion. As the battle continues, he builds Loop Chain stacks. Once enough stacks are collected, Enigma automatically uses Closed-Loop Principle, dealing Reality Damage to all enemies while giving your team more Bastion, Ciphertext, Dynamo, and even extra Moxie.

When your team reaches Pulsing Field Level 3, Enigma becomes even stronger. His Amplified Surge passive gives your allies more Ciphertext, increases Incantation Might, and provides extra damage based on Dynamo stacks. This is why Enigma performs best in Dynamo teams.

Skill Priority 

When upgrading Enigma's skills, focus on them in this order:

  1. The Riddle and the Answer (Ultimate)

  2. Meshing Minds

  3. Infinite Translation

The Ultimate provides Enigma's biggest buffs and team utility, while Meshing Minds keeps your team protected with Bastion. Infinite Translation is still important, but it comes after the other two skills.

Best Psychubes for Enigma

Choosing the right Psychube can make Enigma an even better support for your team. Since his Bastion scales with ATK, you'll want a Psychube that increases his survivability, boosts his support abilities, or gives him more ATK. In this Reverse: 1999 Enigma build, picking the right Psychube is very important because it directly improves how strong his shields and team buffs are.  Here are the best Psychubes to use if you want to get the most out of Enigma.

Psychube

Why It's Good

The Riddle's Limit

The Riddle's Limit

Enigma's signature Psychube and his best overall choice. It increases his survivability and also gives your team extra Damage Bonus, making it the strongest option for most builds.

Cracks in the Shell

Cracks in the Shell

A great alternative that provides a strong Critical Damage buff for the team. It's only slightly behind his signature Psychube in overall performance.

The Third Commitment

The Third Commitment

A solid support option that increases Incantation Might and Ultimate Might, making it a great choice for Dynamo teams when another teammate isn't using it.

Best Resonance Build

A good Enigma Resonance build helps him do his job even better. Because his Bastion barrier becomes stronger with more ATK, you'll want to build him around Attack first. This gives your team better protection and lets Enigma perform at his best in longer fights. Here's the Enigma Resonance setup we recommend.

Best Portray Priority

Enigma works very well even without extra copies, so you don't need to chase every upgrade. His Enigma Portrait upgrades mostly improve his existing buffs instead of changing how he plays. If you're wondering how far to invest, here's the recommended Enigma Portrait priority.

Best Portray Priority

Portrait

Reason

P0

Fully functional and great for all players.

P1

Best stopping point. Improves Control Immunity, increases Dynamo capacity, and extends his Ultimate buff.

P2

Increases the team's Critical Damage and Damage Bonus. Nice upgrade but not essential.

P3

Improves the damage of his skills and follow-up attack. Acts mostly as a damage increase.

P4

Strengthens Bastion by increasing its scaling. Good but mainly for dedicated players.

P5

Further boosts Dynamo-related buffs. A luxury upgrade for heavy spenders.

Best Teams for Enigma

One of the best things about Enigma is how easy he is to fit into the right team. While he can work in different lineups, he performs best in Dynamo teams where he can build Pulsing Field, protect allies with Bastion, and boost the entire team's damage.

Best Dynamo Team

This is Enigma's strongest and most recommended team. Every character works together to generate Dynamo quickly, reach Pulsing Field Lv.3, and deal massive damage. Enigma keeps everyone alive with Bastion while also giving the team powerful buffs, making this team one of the strongest choices for endgame content.

Flexible Team Options 

Enigma can also work in other teams that don't rely on a different Array mechanic. He provides strong protection, removes debuffs, and increases your team's damage, making him a solid support in many situations. However, he isn't the best choice for teams built around Arrays like Plantpromptu or Poison, since his Pulsing Field will replace those effects.

How to Play Enigma

Playing Enigma is not complicated, but you need to understand his rhythm to get the most value from him. In this Reverse: 1999 Enigma build, your main goal is to keep your team safe with Bastion, build Dynamo stacks, and support your DPS with constant buffs. Here’s a simple way to play Enigma:

How to Play Enigma

  • Start the battle by letting Enigma apply Bastion to protect the whole team.
  • Use Infinite Translation to deal damage and generate Ciphertext for your allies.

  • Use Meshing Minds often to refresh and maintain your Bastion shield.

  • Build up Loop Chain stacks by letting allies act and getting hit.

  • When you reach 5 stacks, trigger Closed-Loop Principle for extra damage, buffs, and more Bastion.

  • Use your Ultimate at the right time to cleanse debuffs and boost your team’s damage.

  • Keep building Dynamo and push toward Pulsing Field Lv.3 for maximum team buffs.
