Reverse: 1999 – Character Rework Preview

With the newest Mane’s Bulletin edition on Reverse: 1999 CN, patch 2.1 implemented a special mode where players can test possible changes to old characters. In this batch, a total of 16 characters had their kits revisited.

It’s worth mentioning that this is still a test, and if the feedback is positive, the changes will be implemented outside this special mode. We don’t know if these changes will arrive early to Global version as QoL features are wont to, or if we will have to wait until Patch 2.1 or 2.2 to experience them.
