Best Reverse 1999 Voyager Build | Best Psychubes and Team Composition

Voyager can be considered one of the best and most versatile supports in Reverse 1999, given her ability to buff and apply the Counter status to your whole party, deal high Ultimate damage, and apply both Confusion and Seal to targets.

But like Bkornblume, although Voyager is a top tier, she will still need a well-tuned build to truly excel, especially in the late-game stages. Here’s the best Voyager build in Reverse 1999.

• The Best Psychubes for Voyager in Reverse: 1999
• The Best Team Composition for Voyager

The Best F2P Team Composition for Voyager

The best psychubes for voyager in reverse 1999.

The best Psychubes for Voyager in  Reverse: 1999 are either Brave New World or His Bounden Duty. Among the two, Brave New World is my main pick given how it will massively increase her damage through an 18% boost in Incantation Might, as well as a 12% damage increase to any incantation she performs following her Ultimate (Amplification Level 1). The Psychube will also provide her with an above-average amount of both HP and Mental DEF.

His Bounden Duty will be my pick for those looking to provide her with more survivability without sacrificing a lot of her damage. The 6-star Psychube will provide her with a 12% boost in overall DMG (at level 60) and will allow her to heal after defeating enemies.

Related: Reverse 1999 Examination 1, 2, and 3 Guide: How to Complete Targeting Exam, Play a Waiting Game, and Visionary Insights

The Best 5-Star Psychube for Voyager

Yearning Desire is the best 5-star Psychube for Voyager , as it will increase her Incantation Might by 15% (at level 60) while also increasing the damage she will deal to debuffed enemies by 8% (Amplification level 1).

While the Psychube’s main stat is great no matter the character in question, its effect is a perfect fit for Voyager given her ability to apply Confusion by using Stellar Symphony and Galactic on Strings, as well as her Chorus Ensemble passive.

Using Her Second Life can also work great for Voyager , as it will allow her to heal the party by a good amount after performing her Ultimate. Her Second Life is my main pick for those looking to use her on team’s not featuring a dedicated healer.

Reverse: 1999 Best Voyager Team Composition

Although she can be considered a universal support capable of thriving on all types of teams, Voyager shines the most when supporting DPSs with either CRIT-focused kits or the potential to thrive with good amounts of it. For that , the best Voyager team composition in Reverse: 1999 features her as its main support, Medicine Pocket as its main healer, and either Centurion , Regulus , or Lilya as its main DPS.

This team will shine by having Voyager’s ability to debuff and apply the counter status as its foundation, while also having in Medicine Pocket a guarantee that the party will stay alive no matter their opponents.

The best F2P Voyager team in Reverse 1999 features her as its main support, either Lilya, Regulus, or Eternity as its main DPS, and Dikke as its focused healer . As you may expect, although this team will have in Dikke an excellent sub-DPS, her lack of utility will significantly lower your DPS’s damage.

For the fourth slot in all Voyager teams, I recommend the use of either a debuffer/sub-DPS (ideally Bkornblume) or that of a main CRIT-focused DPS.

Francis-99 is a series of workshops, which provides an open access of data related to different test cases including Francis turbine and hydrofoils. The researchers can use these data and perform numerical studies by applying modern tools and techniques.

Flexible electricity demand and low profit margin have pushed hydro turbines to their extreme operating limit. The turbines are often operated at unfavourable load, which has raised significant concerns for the hydropower industry and has challenged the existing design criteria. In fact, the main requirement for modern turbines is high efficiency over the whole operating range. However, this is difficult to obtain.

Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) techniques have been extensively used in turbine design. There are significant challenges in the numerical modelling due to complex flow structure in the turbine. A particular technique applied to an operating load does not work for another operating load of the same turbine. This results in a time consuming process, which makes the numerical modeling of the hydraulic turbine expensive in terms of the requirement of computational power and time. In a competitive market higher cost is not affordable. Therefore, there is a need to optimize the CFD modelling applied to investigate the hydro turbines.

Moreover, due to confidentiality, none of the modern turbine designs are available in public domain. This makes it difficult for engineers/researchers to explore their skill and knowledge in evaluating hydro turbine designs. The academicians do not have access to the modern design techniques adopted by the industries except through collaborating work.

Main objective of Francis-99

Francis-99 is a series of workshops, which provides an open access of data related selected test cases including Francis turbine and hydrofoils. The open data includes CAD model/geometry, mesh for simulations and the experimental data (pressure and/or velocity). It provides an open platform to the hydropower researchers and possibility to explore their capabilities and enhance their skills. In fact, this is the main objective of the workshop series. The researchers can use these data and perform numerical studies by applying modern tools and techniques.

So far three workshops have been completed successfully. The first workshop aimed at steady state operating conditions of Francis turbine, investigating the pressure pulsations and vortex breakdown. The second workshop aimed at transient operating conditions such as load variation and start-stop. The third workshop aimed at fluid structure interactions. For more information, please visit the webpage for each workshop.

The Waterpower laboratory is actively involved in research and development of hydro turbines since 1917. It consists of a flexible infrastructure, which gives the possibility to operate test rigs in open and close loop configurations. There are two turbine test rigs, Francis turbine/pump-turbine and Pelton turbine, and several piping loops for the investigations of water hammer, surging, pressure-time method, etc. Laboratory personnel conduct field measurements such as efficiency measurement, pressure pulsations, vibration, etc. The turbine testing is conducted according to IEC 60193 and IEC 60041.

The close loop piping system in the Waterpower laboratory can be pressurised to maximum of 100 m and the open loop system has a maximum head of 16 m. Available pumping power is 700 kW and the maximum flow rate is 1.1 m 3 s -1 . Achieved maximum hydraulic efficiency of the model Francis turbine is 93.4%. Pressure and velocity measurements are frequently conducted in the laboratory. An average of one PhD thesis, ten master thesis, and ten student projects are conducted per year. The laboratory is actively involved in research and development projects through industrial and academic collaborations, and it always encourages young researchers and welcomes to conduct research. Ongoing PhD level research work in the laboratory can be found here.

The model Francis turbine utilized for Francis-99 is a scaled model of the turbines operating at Tokke power plant in Norway. The Francis turbine has a splitter blade runner, which includes 30 blades. The runner outlet diameter is 0.349 m. The obtained maximum hydraulic efficiency of the turbine is 93.4% at the best efficiency point and the uncertainty was +/- 0.16% [1]. The test rig is extensively used for the model testing and for specific investigations such as rotor stator interaction, vortex rope, rotating stall with pump-turbine runner, water hammer, cavitation, etc. The open loop hydraulic system is used to perform transient measurements such as load variation, start-stop, and total load rejection. Moreover, strict guidelines are used for the calibration of each instrument utilized during the measurements. Complete history of the calibrated instruments is maintained for reference study in order to observed any deviation of the characteristics over  time.

[1] Chirag Trivedi, 2014, Experimental and numerical investigations on steady state and transient characteristics of a high head model Francis turbine, Ph. D. thesis, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee.

The model Francis turbine runner is scaled 1:5.1 to the prototypes operating at Tokke power plant. The leading edge profiles of the runner main blades and splitter blades are similar. The main blades are twisted around 180 degree from inlet to the outlet of the runner. The blade thickness at the trailing edge is 3 mm. Runner inlet and outlet diameters are 0.63 m and 0.349 m, respectively. The runner inlet height is 0.06 m and the specific speed is 0.27. Miniature pressure sensors are integrated in the runner to acquire pressure values during the measurements. Wireless telemetry system is used to transmit the pressure values from the runner to the stationary logging system. In Norway, the majority of the turbines are ranged from mid-head to high-head. This model turbine has played important role in the research and development of the high head turbines over the last decade.

Highlight of the first workshop

The first workshop was held 15th and 16th of December 2014 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Various researchers have conducted extensive numerical studies on the high-head Francis turbine, and the obtained results were presented during the workshop. Approximately 50 researchers participated in the workshop, and 14 papers were presented. Almost all aspects of numerical studies were discussed during the workshop including numerical modelling, meshing, verification and validation, challenges in the numerical study, and how can numerical modelling be optimized.

See the detailed summary of the Francis-99 first workshop .

Highlight of the second workshop

The second Francis-99 workshop was organized on 14 and 15 December 2016. Total 10 research papers were presented in the workshop. Around 35 researchers from different countries were participated in the workshop. Both steady and transient simulations were presented and discussed during the workshop. For the transient simulation, mesh deformation approach was used. Key concern was long simulation time during load variation and start-stop. There was alternative suggestion to use 1D-3D coupling that allow reduction of time. Main components of the turbines can be modelled using 3D and data from 1D analysis should be used as boundary condition. Further, size of the 3D CFD domain can be reduced by using passage modelling approaches as highlighted in the first workshop. Results presented from the hydropower industries indicated that modern passage-modelling techniques should be used which allow rough estimation of pressure loading on the blades during load variation and start-stop. Results presented using different techniques/solvers such as Ansys, star-ccm+, OpenFOAM have shown that newly implemented techniques can help to overcome the challenges in transient modelling and can provide results with improved accuracy.

See the detailed summary of the Francis-99 second workshop .

Highlight of the third workshop

The third workshop was organized during May 28-29, 2019, which focused on fluid structure interactions in Francis turbine. However, in this workshop, two test cases were provided: (1) Hydrofoil and (2) Francis turbine. The hydrofoil test case aimed to investigate fundamental research, and the turbine test case aimed to investigate applied research. Parameters such as study of mode-shape, nodal-diameter, deformation, fatigue loading, estimation of fatigue life, individual/combined natural frequencies, hydrodynamic damping, harmonic response, etc. were investigated. In total 11 papers were submitted to the workshop and around 35 participants from different countries, Canada, Spain, Germany, Croatia, Sweden, North Macedonia, Norway, etc., joined the workshop.

The best taxi services in Moscow

How best to drive a taxi in Moscow

Moscow is a huge metropolis – the capital of the Russian Federation is three times as large and has three times as many inhabitants as Berlin, for example. Of course, getting from A to B is an important topic for visitors and locals alike. The metro is certainly the number one form of transportation in the Russian mega city. But as practical as the subway may be: in the rush hour it can get damn stuffy on the trains – especially in the city center and on the ring line the trains burst at the seams in the morning and in the evening and sometimes you have wait to be able to get in at all. In addition, you cannot get to the airport by metro. The most obvious solution is certainly the taxi. As a foreigner, you have to know a lot about Moscow and taxis. In Soviet times, taxis were affordable, but not competitive in comparison to heavily subsidized public transport. In addition, taxi drivers had a bad reputation and often questionable work ethic. Hardly everyone drove a taxi in Moscow and there were accordingly few. The development in the wild nineties, which were economically difficult for Russia, in which even many doctors, engineers and scientists had to earn something as taxi drivers, was quite different. The so-called “bombily” (from the Russian word bombit’, to earn something extra) came into service. It became common practice that as a pedestrian on the side of the road you only had to keep your hand out and stop a (usually unmarked) taxi or a bombila in a matter of minutes. A short negotiation about the price and you’re on your way. In 2011, the Moscow city administration estimated that in addition to the 5,000 licensed taxis, at least ten times as many black taxis were on the move.

«Black» taxis – not advisable for tourists

For tourists, especially inexperienced Russia, these taxis are anything but advisable. At first you will have communication problems even with kindly Bombila-drivers without knowledge of Russian. Even with proper school Russian, as a tourist you lack the local knowledge and an idea of ​​the usual prices – which is why you are almost at the mercy of the many black sheep among the «black» taxi drivers.

Russia trip planned? Under the following link you can find out how to get the necessary visa!

However, if you have sufficient knowledge of Russian, are clear about the exact route beforehand and can still negotiate well, it may be worth trying the «black» taxis. Because of the increasingly popular taxi apps, the «black» taxis are a slowly but surely dying phenomenon. As a rule of thumb, you shouldn’t pay more than 500 rubles for a trip within Moscow and if the driver demands too much, just keep going.

Taxi apps: Gett, Yandex, or Uber?

Equipped with a SIM card and mobile internet, it is certainly the best option as a tourist to get around using the taxi app. The world’s leading provider Uber only plays a subordinate role in Russia. Although the app also exists in Russia, Uber works here in cooperation with the local top dog Yandex Taxi. Yandex is often referred to as the Russian Google and is also very popular as a taxi service. The Yandex app works similarly to that of Uber. You can see in advance the fare to be paid later, the license plate as well as the vehicle type and the driver’s previous ratings. However, at Yandex you can pay not only with a credit card, but also in cash with the driver. The prices that Yandex calls in Moscow for the so-called Eco tariff are very moderate. The basic fare, which includes a five-minute journey and three kilometers, is 129 rubles, or about $ 1.81. Each additional kilometer then costs 10 rubles, i.e. $ 0.14. Trips to Moscow airports are billed at the normal tariff. However, a pick-up fee of 449 rubles, i.e. $ 6.32, has to be paid from the major international airports Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo to the city. The standard fare will be 8 rubles per 1 km and 8 rubles per 1 minute. Of course, Yandex also offers high-quality transport, analogous to Uber’s offer. From the business tariff, in which you are chauffeured in a limousine from 349 rubles ($ 4.91), to the so-called ultimate tariff, in which you drive through in a Mercedes S-Class from 1899 rubles ($ 26.75) Moscow is driven, the Yandex offer knows no limits. Even vehicles specially equipped for transport for children, with special paint can be ordered via the app. Gett’s competition offers a similar range of products at generally lower prices. The cheapest service in vehicles of the VW Polo class currently starts at 99 rubles ($ 1.39). Trips to Moscow airports cost almost a quarter less than Yandex at 350 rubles ($ 4.93). The VIP service with vehicles that include the BMW 7 Series, the S-Class or the Audi A8 is also significantly more affordable at 700 rubles ($ 9.86) – even if fewer inclusive kilometers are included in the price.

Classic taxi services: Rare and usually only on order

Taxis in the western sense are rarely seen in Moscow. Just wave a taxi up from the street like in Berlin, London or New York? This is rather unlikely because there are simply too few taxis. You have to order a classic taxi in Moscow beforehand. Despite the competition from «black» taxis and the increasingly popular apps, there are still numerous companies that offer this. However, it is usually impossible to order one of these taxis without knowledge of Russian. Services that are specially designed for tourists and foreign business travelers can usually be paid for dearly. Therefore, as a tourist, unless you prefer a taxi app from the start, you leave the order to the hotel or local friends.
