Knowing all Afflatus types and how they affect the weaknesses and resistances of each character is crucial in Reverse: 1999.
Afflatus determines an Arcanist’s elemental class. Each character is tied to one of the existing Afflatus of the game. This is a characteristic that adds the strategic layer needed to make turn-based RPGs more exciting. Although things might get complex as you learn the game, we’re here to help!
How Afflatus Works in Reverse: 1999
There are six different types of Afflatus, each with its own unique weaknesses.
| Afflatus | Deals 30% More Damage To | Takes 30% More Damage From |
|---|---|---|
| Beast | Plant | Mineral |
| Plant | Star | Beast |
| Star | Mineral | Plant |
| Mineral | Beast | Star |
| Spirit | Intellect | Intellect |
| Intellect | Spirit | Spirit |
Although Afflatus types do not provide resistance to damage, they can be the weakness of an enemy. This creates the following circle: Beast > Plant > Star > Mineral > Beast. Note that Spirit and Intellect are out of that circle. They work differently and deal 30% extra damage to one another.

You can’t simply choose a card without considering factors like Afflatus, damage type, Moxie, and more. This is what adds depth and makes the combat fun in this game.
