Reverse 1999 psychube guide starts from one fact: there are exactly three places to put resources, character Insight, Psychube upgrades and Portraits. 4.0 added a Psychube and two systems, and the reflex is to max the new Psychube first, which leaves the character stuck at Insight 2 and weaker overall. This guide lays out payoff and cost for all three lines, gives the Insight 3, then Psychube, then Portraits order, tallies what 4.0 hands out free, and ends with a verdict per account.

Reverse: 1999 4.0 content: what The Door Keeper brought
Get the version contents straight before planning against an old one.
Two new 6-stars and one new Psychube
4.0 adds 6-star Hunting Witch Crossbow (Star) and Drake (Beast), 4-star Gundred (Beast), and the 6-star Psychube Pillar Upon the Storm Ridge . Star and Beast sit in different systems, so check which one your roster lacks before pulling.
Two new systems
Hollow Wonderland and Portraits of the Past are new in 4.0 .New systems usually carry one-time rewards, so the first thing to do after the patch is open both entrances and claim whatever is sitting there.
The welfare package
4.0 hands out a guaranteed new 6-star, a self-select 6-star, a limited outfit for Regulus, a celebration jukebox, and 40 sign-in pulls . Note the guaranteed 6-star and the self-select 6-star are different things: the first fills a random hole, the second is chosen from a list. Do not treat them as the same slot.
Reverse: 1999 Insight priority: why Insight 3 comes first
Insight level decides whether a kit is complete, and it is the most underrated line.
What each Insight tier opens
Every Insight tier unlocks or strengthens a passive, and Insight 3 is usually the point where a character comes online. A character parked at Insight 2 is missing core passives that no Psychube recovers.
Where Insight materials come from
Fixed stages and event shops. During the 4.0 celebration the event shop supplies more than usual, so clear the event shop stock first and top up from regular stages afterwards .
The Insight 2 trap
Spreading resources across four or five characters leaves all of them at Insight 2. Put everything into one main DPS until Insight 3, then consider a second. One finished DPS outperforms three half-finished units by a wide margin.
Reverse: 1999 Psychubes: should the new one be maxed immediately?
Psychubes are a multiplier, and Insight comes first.
Who Pillar Upon the Storm Ridge suits
The 4.0 6-star Psychube is Pillar Upon the Storm Ridge . 6-star Psychubes tend to be general-purpose, so test it on your main DPS and confirm the damage type matches before sinking upgrade materials.
Cost curve
Psychube upgrades use dedicated materials plus common currency, and per-level cost climbs with level. Upgrade to the middle band and leave the rest for Insight 3: mid-to-max is linear value, while Insight 2 to Insight 3 is a step change.
Checking fit
Psychubes grant a specific damage type or mechanic buff, and the wrong type gives nothing. The test is simple: slot it, run the same stage, and compare the result screen. No visible change means the type does not match .
Reverse: 1999 resource plan: free pulls in 4.0
Lay out the claimable resources to see whether extra spending is needed.
| Resource | Amount | How to get it | Source tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sign-in pulls | 40 | 4.0 celebration sign-in | Official 4.0 notes |
| Guaranteed new 6-star | 1 | Login gift | Official 4.0 notes |
| Self-select 6-star | 1 | Login gift, chosen from a list | Official 4.0 notes |
| Regulus limited outfit | 1 | Login gift | Official 4.0 notes |
| Celebration jukebox | 1 | Login gift | Official 4.0 notes |
Are 40 pulls enough for a 6-star?
40 pulls alone is not safe, but 40 pulls plus a guaranteed new 6-star plus a self-select 6-star means the version effectively fills two 6-star slots. So 4.0 rarely needs extra spending unless you want one specific new unit.
Should pulls be banked?
If neither new 6-star fits your roster, banking for the next version is fine. The version welfare already guarantees you do not walk away empty.
Reverse: 1999 should you pull: verdict by account
Verdict first: pull Crossbow if you lack a Star main DPS, Drake if you lack Beast damage, and just claim welfare with a full roster.
No Star main DPS
Pull Hunting Witch Crossbow. The Star system has matching Psychubes and systems in 4.0, so a full investment pays best .
No Beast damage
Pull Drake. Beast has 4-star Gundred available as a support partner in the same version, which lowers the cost of finishing the team.
Both elements covered
Claim welfare only and bank pulls. 4.0 already covers two 6-star slots for free, so duplicating a role you own is poor value.

How many materials does Insight 3 need?
A: The exact count is shown in the in-game Insight panel; the official notice publishes no total. Use the event shop while it is stocked, it beats regular stages.
