Alice (ZZZ) Build

Alice is positioned as a physical anomaly strong DPS. In actual combat, she can serve as either an on-field main DPS or a quick-swap DPS, offering great flexibility in team compositions. Below her avatar, there is an energy gauge called “Blade Etiquette,” which fills up when three segments are accumulated.

Blade Etiquette
What is the purpose of this Blade Etiquette? Similar to Miyabi, it is used to execute an Enhanced Basic Attack. When Alice holds down the basic attack button, she consumes Blade Etiquette to unleash a powered-up basic attack, with the effect further enhanced when two segments are consumed. However, in practice, consuming one or two segments for an Enhanced Basic Attack is almost never used and can be ignored.

The true core of her damage output lies in consuming three segments of Blade Etiquette for an Enhanced Basic Attack. The final hit of this three-stage charged attack triggers a special Polarized Assault upon hitting an enemy. The Polarized Assault ignores attribute build-up progress, dealing 100% of a normal assault’s damage, and can trigger Disorder in combination with all anomaly effects (including normal assaults). For example: after consuming three Blade Etiquette segments with a held basic attack, the final slash will execute a Polarized Assault, which can then trigger Disorder alongside a normal assault.

Additionally, Alice’s three-stage charged attack can synergize with teammates. After accumulating three Blade Etiquette segments, she can switch to a teammate to follow up with their damage, similar to Miyabi’s playstyle.

This makes her combat approach clear: continuously accumulate Blade Etiquette in battle, then consume all three segments at once to unleash the three-stage Enhanced Basic Attack. So how does she accumulate Blade Etiquette in combat? There are seven ways:

1. Entering combat: Alice immediately gains three Blade Etiquette segments when entering battle.
2. Dealing damage: All of Alice’s damaging skills (basic attacks, dodge counters, dash attacks, etc.) slowly accumulate Blade Etiquette when hitting enemies. The only exception is the Enhanced Basic Attack that consumes Blade Etiquette—it does not generate any.
3. Using Ex Special Skill: Successfully landing a full Ex Special Skill (dealing all its damage) grants one Blade Etiquette segment. If the skill misses, no segment is gained.
4. Triggering a normal assault: Grants 0.1 Blade Etiquette segments (note: only normal assaults, not Polarized Assaults).
5. Triggering Disorder: Grants 0.3 Blade Etiquette segments.
6. Perfect dodge during Ex Special Skill startup: Successfully dodging an attack at this moment grants an extra 0.1 segment.
7. Using Ultimate: Grants two Blade Etiquette segments.

Alice’s Core Passive

While Alice is on-field and alive, whenever anyone in the team (including herself) triggers an assault on an enemy, she will deal 2.5% of that assault’s damage every 0.95 seconds until the anomaly ends. She also increases the team’s Disorder damage. The longer the remaining duration of an enemy’s physical anomaly, the higher her Disorder damage buff becomes (up to 180%).

When Alice triggers an assault, her physical anomaly build-up rate increases by 25% for 30 seconds, and her fifth basic attack is enhanced—dealing higher damage, stagger value, and anomaly build-up. Before triggering an assault, the fifth attack is a simple slash; afterward, it becomes a plunging attack with superior stats.

If the team includes anomaly or support characters, an additional effect activates: when Alice’s Anomaly Mastery exceeds 140, every point above that increases her Anomaly Proficiency by 1.6.
