Reverse 1999: Shamane Best Build Guide & More

The second phase of Version 1.3 brings us the newest Beast character Shamane, a debuffer and sub-dps character that fits in a lot of teams and is said to be the best support for Centurion, one of the best DPS characters in Reverse 1999. 

Here is everything you need to know about Shamane and how to build him.

Who is Shamane

Shamane is a 6-star character of the Beast Afflatus. He is a Debuff / Burst Damage dps character that pairs well with other Mental DPS characters such as Centurion.

Shamane is a great all-rounder being able to do a little bit of everything, while at the same time being AP generous if you only decide to use his debuff. Although he needs some Portrays to unlock his full potential, even despite them Shamane does great even at Portray zero. 

Here is the best build for him, to bring out his full potential.

Shamane Skills and Insight

As already mentioned, Shamane is able to both debuff enemies while also dealing some serious damage. Here is the full breakdown of his skills.

Shamane Skills

Shamane Best Resonance

For Resonance for Shamane we recommend going with a full ATK build to fully boost his damage potential from his ultimate and damage dealing skill. Here is how we think they should look like.

Resonance 5

Resonance 10

Shamane Best Psychubes

In the table below we’ll show you the two Psychubes that we believe work the best with Shamane, and that will draw out the most of his potential as both a damage dealer and support.

Shamane Best Psychubes

Shamane Best Teams

Below we’ll show you three sample teams that you can use with Kaalaa Baunaa to get her to do the most damage possible.

Best Shamane Team

Centurion	Shamane	Tooth Fairy

Alternative Black Dwarf Team

Melania	Shamane	Tooth Fairy

F2P Shamane Team

Sonetto	Shamane	Balloon Party

Note that you can also use Shamane with characters such as:

• Dikke
• Medine Pocket
• other Beast units

Summary

We believe that Shamane is a great addition to the Reverse 1999 support roster. He brings in a lot of utility to other Beast characters such as Centurion and Melania, while also offering decent DPS capability himself.

Shamane does great and is quite versatile allowing you to build many teams around him.

Although he shines even more with his Portrays it is worth noting that they are by no means needed and you can still get more than enough use out of him at Portray zero. 

Overall, Shamane is a solid pick if you need a Beast Debuffer / Sub DPS for your account and you will find it hard to go wrong with pulling for him.
