The Short Answer
Reverse: 1999 Version 3.6, "Last and First Principles," goes live July 2, 2026 on Global, succeeding Version 3.5. Unlike recent patches that split into two phases, 3.6 runs as a single full-length banner with no first-half or second-half divide. The headline addition is Enigma, a 6-Star Intellect Afflatus, Reality-damage Arcanist tied to the Laplace faction, who is the patch's only new character. Her banner also carries 5-Star rate-ups Sweetheart and Charlie, and runs for roughly three weeks from launch.
Who Is Enigma
Enigma is a 6-Star Intellect Afflatus Arcanist who deals Reality damage, tied to the Laplace faction. Like every Arcanist, her effectiveness depends heavily on respecting the Afflatus wheel: Intellect holds an advantage against Star units and a disadvantage against Spirit units, so plan your bench around that matchup rather than forcing her into every stage. As a support and control-leaning pick in the current meta, she rounds out a growing set of Intellect-Afflatus options alongside units like Lorentz Butterfly from the previous patch.
Full kit and build specifics live on her wiki page, and we cover general team-building principles, including how to slot a support like Enigma into a working core, in our team building guide.
Why a Single Full-Length Banner Is Notable
Recent patches, including 3.5, split into two phases, each carrying its own 6-Star rate-up. Version 3.6 breaking that pattern with one continuous banner for the whole patch is a real change in pacing: instead of splitting pulls and pity progress between two limited-time windows, players get roughly three weeks to commit to a single target without a mid-patch banner swap. If you were burned by chasing the wrong half of a split patch before, 3.6 removes that particular decision entirely.
Closing Out Version 3.5
Before 3.6 arrives, Version 3.5 wraps up its second phase, which featured Ramona, the new dedicated main carry for Poison teams, running through July 2. If you have been deciding whether to invest in her Poison-focused kit before her banner closes, our full Ramona build guide covers her Psychube, resonance priorities, and the teams that get the most out of her.
Should You Pull
- Pull Enigma if you want a strong Intellect Afflatus support or control unit and do not already have a settled core in that Afflatus.
- Save if your current 6-Star roster already covers Intellect Afflatus needs. A single full-length banner means less pressure to decide fast, since there is no second-phase swap to worry about missing.
- Check the 5-Star rate-ups. Sweetheart and Charlie are both featured alongside Enigma, so if either fills a specific team gap, factor that into your pull budget too.
