With the release of their 1st Anniversary update for their 20th Century Time-Travel strategic RPG Reverse: 1999, developer Bluepoch has shared a new official tutorial guide for Lucy, the new 6-star character who has made her debut in this version’s banners. Unlike Semmelweis, who was offered as a free character marking the first anniversary – getting access to Lucy requires you to appease lady luck and pull for her on her respective banner.
If you like the cyberpunk style of Lucy and want to know more, the official guide for her can be found below:
Lucy – who demonstrates strong versatility whilst also assisting teammates in dealing greater damage – is one of the main additions to the game via the Version 1.9 update, which celebrates one year since the launch of Reverse: 1999. Players can summon Lucy in the Anniversary Limited Banner called “Thoughts in Cylinder”. She is a main DPS who can bring excellent DMG.
Just like previous characters such as APPLe, Ms. Radio, and Mr. Door, Lucy is an Awakened arcanist. Her core is made up of a piston that was part of the Watt steam engine prototype. In her early years, Lucy witnessed the birth of science as a profession and, as such, she relentlessly pursues scientific development and pays attention to little else.
Lucy was the leader of the LSCC (Laplace Scientific Computing Center). Although a robot, she gradually developed “human emotions” and even set up an anonymous suggestion box at the LSCC, striving to bridge the gap between herself and humans.
The character design of Lucy is inspired by Robot Maria from the silent movie Metropolis. Metropolis is an expressionist science fiction silent film by the renowned German director Fritz Lang, and one of the most important works in the history of cinema.
