Alice dropped in version 2.1, and for Physical Anomaly fans, she’s a dream come true. She’s all about layering Anomaly effects, slashing with style, and unlocking Polarized Assault – a devastating attack that scales off her anomaly mastery and timing. Here’s your guide to making her shine.

Best W-Engine Power Picks

• Practiced Perfection (Signature) – Her top-tier engine. Grants +60 Anomaly Mastery and buffs Physical DMG by 20% per Assault (up to 2 stacks). You enter battle with 2 stacks already charged.
• Fusion Compiler – Solid mid-tier alternative. Offers ATK% and Anomaly Proficiency on special or EX skill use. Good if you missed the signature.
• Other decent options:
  • Electro-Lip Gloss – ATK boost when enemies have Attribute Anomaly.
  • Weeping Gemini – Free-to-play friendly, stacks Anomaly Proficiency when team applies Anomaly.

Drive Discs & Stat Goals that Matter

• Go with:
  • 4-piece Fanged Metal for Physical DMG and extra buff when any Assault triggers.
  • 2-piece Freedom Blues adds Anomaly Proficiency (OR)
• Alternative: Phaethon’s Melody (4-pc) + Chaos Jazz (2-pc) for EM/Proficiency balance.

Best stats:

• Slot 4 → Anomaly Proficiency
• Slot 5 → Physical DMG or Pen Ratio
• Slot 6 → Anomaly Mastery
  Substats: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK% > Penetration. Don’t chase Crit for her.

Skill Upgrade Priority—What to Focus On

1. Core Skill (Twin Rainbows of the Swordheart): Push this first. It speeds up your Anomaly buildup and unlocks Blade Etiquette (your energy bar).
2. Basic Attack: Unlocks Starshine Waltz, your charged finisher that triggers Polarized Assault.
3. Special & Chain: Both feed Blade Etiquette and keep your offense rolling.
4. Ultimate: Grants a huge Etiquette burst – perfect for reset moments.
5. Dodge and Assist: Useful, but lowest priority.

Teams That Make Her Pop

Alice needs teammates who apply Anomaly and then toss in a Disorder trigger so she can loop Assault often.

• Anomaly Core Team:
  • Alice + Vivian + Yuzuha + Miss Esme
    • Vivian builds Anomaly fast; Yuzuha adds Physical support and boosts; Miss Esme helps seal the combo.
• Free-to-Play Option:
  • Alice + Corin + Nicole + Luckyboo (or Knightboo/Magnetiboo)
    • Corin adds Physical DMG, Nicole brings debuffs – solid for budget teams.
• Reddit Faves: Many players pair Alice with Miyabi or Cyclone teams – even cases where she outshines Yanagi.

Final Thoughts

Alice feels like a celebration of stylish burst damage. She rewards smart weapons, the right stats, and clean rotations. Get her W-Engine right, tune your drive discs, and pair her with the right team, and she blasts through Hollows with flashy flair.

I pulled for her the second I saw her because I love her design – and I have a soft spot for bunnies – so she was the perfect fit for my roster!
