Best Alice Build Guide

Written by Phạm Ngọc Bảo Châu · Updated 6 Oct 2026

Playstyle Overview

Alice is a Physical Anomaly Agent who stays on-field as the main DPS. Most of her damage comes from Assault, since her Core Passive makes every Assault deal extra damage over time and raises the Disorder multiplier. The level-3 charged Basic Attack: Starshine Waltz triggers Polarized Assault, so she can Disorder on her own.

You build Blade Etiquette with Basic Attacks, EX Special Attacks, Disorders and her Ultimate, then hold Basic Attack for the level-3 attack. Anomaly Mastery above 140 converts into Anomaly Proficiency, so just build both. Alice is easy to play, has plenty of invulnerability and fits many teams, but leans heavily on her signature W-Engine.

Best W-Engines

Practiced Perfection

ATK 713 · ATK% 30%

Her best option by a clear margin. You get 60 Anomaly Mastery (worth 96 Anomaly Proficiency through her Additional Ability), ATK% and up to +40% Physical DMG right from the start of combat. The high Mastery also lets her build Assault fast enough to Disorder on her own.

Gift of Stardust ›

The equipper's Anomaly Mastery increases by 60. When inflicting Assault, the equipper's Physical DMG increases by 20% for 20s, stacking up to 2 times. Repeated triggers reset the duration. When the equipper enters combat, immediately gain 2 stacks.

Sharpened Stinger

ATK 713 · Anomaly Proficiency 90

The second-best option, with Anomaly Proficiency, Physical DMG and +40% Anomaly Buildup Rate at full stacks. Alice's Special and EX Special Attacks can all trigger Perfect Dodges, so you can refresh the stacks easily. It only trails her signature because it lacks the Mastery-to-Proficiency conversion.

Indulge in the Hunt ›

Upon activating a Dash Attack, gain 1 stack of Predatory Instinct. Each stack of Predatory Instinct increases the equipper’s Physical DMG by 12% for 10s, stacking up to 3 times. This effect can trigger once every 0.5s and repeated triggers reset the duration. When entering combat or triggering Perfect Dodge, gain 3 stacks of Predatory Instinct. While Predatory Instinct is at maximum stacks, the equipper’s Anomaly Buildup Rate increases by 40%.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Fusion Compiler

ATK 684 · PEN Ratio 24%

An accessible pick with 24% PEN Ratio and combat ATK. Its stacking Anomaly Proficiency needs frequent Special/EX Special Attacks. If you can't keep the stacks up, it drops off noticeably and may fall behind the A-Rank options below. It gets much stronger with refinements.

Data Flood ›

Increases ATK by 12%.

When using a Special Attack or EX Special Attack, the equipper’s Anomaly Proficiency is increased by 25 for 8s, stacking up to 3 times.

The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

*Stats shown are at Base level.

Weeping Gemini

ATK 594 · ATK% 25%

The best F2P option (craftable), with ATK% and up to 192 Anomaly Proficiency. Polarized Assault also counts as inflicting an Anomaly, so Alice keeps full stacks easily. The only drawback is that the stacks reset when the target recovers from Stun.

Lingering Cries ›

Whenever a squad member inflicts an Attribute Anomaly on an enemy, the equipper gains a buff that increases Anomaly Proficiency by 30, stacking up to 4 times. This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately.

*Stats are shown at base level

Electro-Lip Gloss

ATK 594 · Anomaly Proficiency 75

Gives Anomaly Proficiency, combat ATK and bonus DMG. The effect is almost always active since Polarized Assault counts as an Anomaly. It performs on par with or slightly below Weeping Gemini, so it's only worth using if you already own it at S5.

Kiss of Death ›

When there are enemies inflicted with Attribute Anomaly on the field, the equipper's ATK increases by 10% and they deal an additional 15% more DMG to the target.

Best Drive Discs

Fanged Metal

4-pc ›

2-piece:

Physical DMG +10%

4-piece:

Whenever a squad member inflicts Assault on an enemy, the equipper deals 35% additional DMG to the target for 12s.

Phaethon's Melody

2-pc ›

2-piece:

Anomaly Mastery +8%.

This is the standard build. Fanged Metal gives Physical DMG plus +35% DMG against targets hit by Assault, and Polarized Assault keeps it up almost permanently. 2-piece Phaethon's Melody adds Anomaly Mastery (converted into Proficiency by her Additional Ability) and is the safest choice.

Fanged Metal

4-pc ›

2-piece:

Physical DMG +10%

4-piece:

Whenever a squad member inflicts Assault on an enemy, the equipper deals 35% additional DMG to the target for 12s.

Puffer Electro

2-pc ›

2-piece:

PEN Ratio +8%

Gives the highest raw damage if you run a PEN Ratio Disc 5, but only use it when the team does not shred DEF (Nicole, Trigger, Jane M2, Alice M1 or Deadly Assault DEF-shred buffs).

Fanged Metal

4-pc ›

2-piece:

Physical DMG +10%

4-piece:

Whenever a squad member inflicts Assault on an enemy, the equipper deals 35% additional DMG to the target for 12s.

Freedom Blues

2-pc ›

2-piece:

Anomaly Proficiency +30

2-piece Freedom Blues (or Chaos Jazz) gives a flat 30 Anomaly Proficiency. It deals more damage than Phaethon's Melody and isn't affected by DEF shred, but you get less Anomaly Mastery and slower buildup.

Hormone Punk

4-pc ›

2-piece:

ATK +10%

4-piece:

Upon entering combat or switching in, its user's ATK increases by 25% for 10s. This effect can trigger once every 20s.

Phaethon's Melody

2-pc ›

2-piece:

Anomaly Mastery +8%.

A fallback while your Fanged Metal is weak. It gives a big ATK boost on switch-in but with short uptime, which doesn't suit Alice's long field time. 4-piece Freedom Blues is another backup since she uses EX Special Attacks often.

Best Main Stats

Disc 4Anomaly Proficiency (ATK% as a backup)
Disc 5PEN Ratio / Physical DMG / ATK%
Disc 6Anomaly Mastery

Best Sub Stats

1Anomaly Proficiency
2ATK%
3PEN
4Flat ATK

Endgame Stats

ATK: 2600 – 2900+
HP: 9500+
DEF: 750+
Anomaly Proficiency: 330 – 420+
Anomaly Mastery: 184+ (60 higher in combat with her signature W-Engine)

Disc 6 is essentially locked to Anomaly Mastery. Keep at least 140, since everything above that is converted into Anomaly Proficiency and also speeds up buildup. On Disc 5, PEN Ratio is best on paper but loses value when the team shreds DEF. Physical DMG is the most consistent, and ATK% is only worth considering once DMG% is saturated.

Skill Priority

Core Skill
›Basic Attack
›Chain Attack
›Special Attack
›Dodge
›Assist

Level her Core Skill first to raise her Physical Anomaly Buildup Rate, which drives her main damage. Basic Attack (Starshine Waltz and the enhanced 5th hit) comes second, followed by Chain Attack/Ultimate with its huge multiplier and Special Attack for Blade Etiquette. Dodge and Assist come last.

Best Teams for Alice

Most Used Teams Right Now

Alice's most used team in both Shiyu Defense and Deadly Assault by a wide margin. Alice stays on-field cycling her skills, and you swap to Remielle when her burst is ready and to Velina when her cyclones need refreshing. Every Polarized Assault counts as an Anomaly trigger for Remielle, so much of the team's damage shifts to Remielle and Velina.

Alice

Nangong Yu

Yuzuha

The second most used team in both modes. Nangong Yu is the go-to Anomaly Stunner. She Stuns and adds Polarity Disorders that refill Alice's Blade Etiquette, while Yuzuha is Alice's best Support.

Double Anomaly Teams

Alice

Vivian

Yuzuha

Vivian deals damage and applies Anomaly from off-field, so Alice can juggle Disorders more easily. Polarized Assault also triggers Vivian's Abloom. Yuzuha speeds up buildup and boosts Anomaly damage for the whole team.

Remielle Dan

Alice

Jane

One of the few Remielle teams without Velina. Jane's Core Passive lets Assault CRIT, including Polarized Assault and Alice's damage-over-time ticks, and Jane can trigger Assault while Alice is charging.

Hypercarry Team

Alice

Nicole

Yuzuha

Alice can Disorder on her own, so she works as the sole DPS. Nicole shreds DEF (it only needs to be up when the Assault lands) and helps with buildup, while Yuzuha amplifies damage. It's especially strong if you have M2 Alice.

F2P Team

A free-to-play team. Corin adds Physical damage for more frequent Assaults, while Nicole shreds enemy DEF and enables Alice's Additional Ability.

Best Bangboo for Alice

In Remielle teams, Ariel is the best pick since its Additional Ability requires Remielle. You can also use Bangvolver, Knightboo or Miss Esme (needs two Spook Shack members, e.g. Alice and Yuzuha).

In the F2P team, use Luckyboo (needs two Physical Agents). Bagboo, Magnetiboo and Knightboo also work.

Skills

Basic Attack: Celestial Overture

Press Basic to activate:

Perform up to 5 slashes forward, dealing Physical DMG.

When Alice triggers Assault through Attribute Anomaly Buildup, the 5th hit of her next Basic Attack is enhanced.

Basic Attack: Starshine Waltz

When Alice's Blade Etiquette reaches 1 bar, hold Basic to activate:

Hold to charge, expending up to 3 bars of Blade Etiquette.

Release Basic or when Blade Etiquette is below 1 bar, Alice performs a series of slashes in an area centered on the target enemy, with the number of hits determined by charge level, dealing massive Physical DMG.

When the Finishing Move of a three-stage charged Basic Attack: Starshine Waltz hits, it triggers a special Assault effect: Polarized Assault. This deals DMG equal to 100% of the original Assault, ignoring Anomaly Buildup, and can interact with other Attribute Anomalies, including Physical, to trigger Disorder.

Blade Etiquette does not accumulate when hitting an enemy.

Mindscape Cinema

Which Mindscapes Are Worth It?

M1 is the best stopping point thanks to its DEF shred. M2 is stronger than it looks, especially in teams with Jane or Nicole plus Yuzuha. M6 is rated highly, but its damage scales on Anomaly Proficiency, so its real contribution can be modest. M3 and M5 only add skill levels.

M1
Each Assault Alice triggers lowers the target's DEF by 20% for 30s, plus 25 Blade Etiquette whenever she triggers Polarized Assault. The DEF shred stacks nicely with Nicole and other DEF-reduction buffs.
M2
Her Ultimate also triggers Polarized Assault, the squad gains +15% Assault DMG and +15% Disorder DMG against Physical-afflicted enemies, and she starts with 1,000 Decibels. It keeps Disorders flowing in teams with few Anomaly Agents.
M4
Ignores 10% Physical RES, and the enhanced 5th Basic Attack hit builds 25% more Physical Anomaly, making Assaults easier to cycle.
M6
After a level-3 Starshine Waltz or her Ultimate, Alice fires up to 6 guaranteed-CRIT extra attacks, each worth 3,300% of her Anomaly Proficiency. Since this is regular damage rather than Anomaly damage, its contribution varies a lot with the team.

Palmful of CilantroRecommended

When Alice triggers a Polarized Assault, she gains 25 Blade Etiquette.

When she triggers Assault against an enemy, the target's DEF is reduced by 20% for 30s.

A sprig of coriander sways like a newborn green star,

So fragile her fingertips felt they might pass through it.

She slowly opened her trembling hands,

And held that flicker of feeling in her palms.

Her heart beat like a spring bud breaking the earth at dawn, just after the rain.

Sage at the Sword's TipRecommended

When Ultimate: Starfall Finale's Finishing Move hits an enemy, it triggers Polarized Assault.

All squad members' Assault DMG increases by 15%. Disorder DMG against enemies suffering from Physical Anomaly increases by 15%.

Upon entering the battlefield, Alice immediately gains 1,000 Decibels.

Triggers once per 180s in Investigation Zone mode.

The silver blade dips low, kissing the frost-lined sage leaf.

This pre-battle salute is the girl's quiet show of composure.

Fear and helplessness lie frozen in the faded dreams of yesterday.

Her sword stirs, ready to trace the outline of the stars.

Dawn is near, and the flower bud waits to bloom.

Symmetrism

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

She couldn't resist perfect symmetry.

In symmetry, there was order, balance, and meaning. Without it, her bunny ears and tail would dull and droop, as if something lovely were about to vanish from her world.

"So... that's why you had to bring up my mismatched socks, and tried to take off my leg band?"

"I just can't stand your asymmetry! Just for a second, I swear — just one second!"

Rosemary on Her LipsRecommended

Alice ignores 10% of the target's Physical RES.

Enhanced Basic Attack: Celestial Overture accumulates 25% more Physical Anomaly Buildup.

The scent of rosemary lingered between her lips,

A vow searing and resolute, carried on every breath of frost.

Even as the air in her lungs turned cold and heavy,

The girl would never forget the spell called love.

"In the name of the Thymefields... I will never betray it."

Passion for the Supernatural

Basic Attack, Dodge, Assist, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2

She couldn't resist scary paranormal things.

Within the paranormal hid the unknown and the dangerous. When she felt it, her bunny ears and tail would bristle in fright — only to become irresistibly smooth once she calmed down.

"So... that's why you always tag along on my ghost-hunting trips, even though you're scared out of your mind?"

"I just wanted to see what would happen... but it's so scary, I totally regret it! Just this once — I swear I'm not coming next time!"

A Heart of ThymeRecommended

When Alice uses a third-stage charged Basic Attack: Starshine Waltz or Ultimate: Starfall Finale, she enters the Victory State for 30s.

During this time, whenever any squad member lands a hit on a target, Alice will follow up with an extra attack against the target, dealing Physical DMG equal to 3,300% of her Anomaly Proficiency. This effect can trigger once every 1s and is guaranteed to CRIT. This effect can trigger up to 6 times. Gaining the Victory State again refreshes the available trigger count.

The thyme-scented manor,

The night spent watching the stars,

The moment she came to understand what courage truly meant.

A fragrant wind swept the clouds away, and sunlight outshone the crystal chandelier.

The girl gave a gentle bow to the days gone by.

Then, slowly, she vanished into the field of thyme.

Story

Details

Alice Thymefield, a new member of Spook Shack, is a young lady from the prestigious Thymefield family of New Eridu. Alice has studied fencing and Ether science since childhood, showing exceptional talent in both fields. She currently attends Celestia School for Girls, a subsidiary of High Ambitions Academy, where she's a model student excelling in both academics and conduct. It is predicted that she will one day inherit the family business and become a next-generation Ether scholar of New Eridu. She places extreme importance on order and patterns, showing an almost obsessive pursuit of symmetry in particular. This even affects her aesthetic judgment, making symmetry the primary criterion in determining whether something is beautiful or ugly. Furthermore, she's easily frightened, with practically zero resistance to ghost stories and supernatural tales. Despite this, she seems to show considerable interest in encountering such phenomena. Suggestion: Master can use ghost stories as a topic of conversation with her. No matter how much she initially refuses, it is likely that she will eventually come closer to investigate.

Increase Trust to Close to unlock more

According to my investigations, Alice has been obsessed with symmetry ever since she was young, but after experiencing the loss of her symmetrical hairpin and her father's subsequent death, she subconsciously attributed the tragedy to the loss of a symmetrical object, which intensified her obsession with symmetry. As a prestigious family known for their Ether science research, the Thymefield family is currently facing a decline. With Alice's parents passing away early and her grandfather falling ill, and after giving away the family's patents to save a friend, she's determined to start anew and revive the family through her own strength. Despite her timid nature, once she sets her mind on accomplishing something, she'll pursue it with unwavering determination. Moreover, she values her companions deeply and would never ignore their difficulties... Therefore, Master, I strongly recommend improving relations with Alice and informing her about our current financial struggles with paying the electricity bills.

Cooperation Notes:

Belle

It's rare to find someone who's just as bad with horror movies as my brother~ But even so, Alice still can't help but let her curiosity get the better of her, watching the latest horror flicks I recommend, and screaming while clinging to me. Unlike my brother, who always finds excuses to bail...

Wise
Sorry for my lack of courage... But Alice really is obsessed with the paranormal. Does she really enjoy getting scared out of her wits over and over again?

Hiếm khi gặp được ai giống anh Wise đến thế, hoàn toàn không chịu nổi phim kinh dị như vậy~ Nhưng mà, Alice vẫn không kìm được tò mò muốn xem những bộ phim kinh dị mới nhất mà em giới thiệu, rồi ôm chặt em mà hét toáng lên. Nhìn lại thì anh Wise lúc nào cũng kiếm cớ để chuồn mất...

Thật xin lỗi vì anh trai của em không có tinh thần mạo hiểm... Nhưng Alice đúng là rất đam mê những thứ tâm linh nhỉ. Chẳng lẽ cô ấy thích cảm giác bị dọa hết lần này đến lần khác vậy sao?
