How to Build Alice: Gear & Stats

If you want to Build Alice well, focus on her gear and stats. Alice is a Physical Anomaly agent. Her equipment should help her do more damage and trigger Anomaly effects.

Tip: Try to get at least 140 Anomaly Mastery. This number is important. When Alice has 140 or more, her Anomaly Proficiency goes up a lot. Her Assault and Disorder damage gets much higher. She can break enemy shields and do more damage. This makes Alice a strong DPS agent.

Best Weapons

Picking the right weapon helps you Build Alice for high damage. The best weapons give her more Anomaly Mastery or Physical Damage. Here are the top choices:

Weapon	Base ATK	Bonus Stat	W-Engine Effect
Practiced Perfection (S)	713	ATK 30%	Increases Anomaly Mastery by 60 and Physical DMG by 20% for 20s, stacks twice.
Sharpened Stinger (S)	713	Anomaly Proficiency 90	Increases Physical DMG by 12% for 10s, stacks three times.
Fusion Compiler (S)	684	PEN Ratio: 24%	Increases ATK by 12% and Anomaly Proficiency by 25 for 8s, stacks three times.
Electro-Lip Gloss (A)	594	Anomaly Proficiency 75	Increases ATK by 16% and deals 25% more DMG to targets with Attribute Anomaly.
Weeping Gemini (A)	595	ATK: 25%	Increases Anomaly Proficiency by 48 when squad inflicts Attribute Anomaly, stacks four times.

Practiced Perfection is the best weapon for Alice. It boosts Anomaly Mastery and Physical Damage. If you do not have it, Sharpened Stinger and Fusion Compiler are good too. They help Alice do more damage and trigger Anomaly effects. You can still Build Alice for strong attacks.

Optimal W-Engines

W-Engines are special weapons that make Alice stronger. Practiced Perfection is the best choice. It gives a big boost to Anomaly Mastery and Physical Damage. Alice can hit harder and trigger more Anomaly effects. Fusion Compiler is also good if you want more Attack and Anomaly Proficiency. Electro-Lip Gloss is nice if you want extra damage when Anomaly effects happen.

To Build Alice for high damage, pick a W-Engine that boosts Anomaly Mastery or Physical Damage. These stats help her skills do more damage and make her Blade Etiquette moves better. For other character build options, explore our Zhao Build Guide.

Build Alice: Drive Disc Sets

Drive Discs are gear sets that give Alice extra bonuses. The best combo is a 4-piece Fanged Metal set and a 2-piece Phaethon’s Melody set. Here is why this setup is great:

Set Type	Physical DMG Increase	Anomaly Mastery Increase	Additional Effects
4-piece Fanged Metal	10%	N/A	35% damage boost for 12 seconds on Assault
2-piece Phaethon's Melody	N/A	8%	N/A

Fanged Metal gives 10% more Physical Damage. It also gives 35% extra damage for 12 seconds after Assault. Phaethon’s Melody adds 8% more Anomaly Mastery. This helps Alice reach 140+ Anomaly Mastery.

Let’s see how these sets work together:

Drive Disc Set	2-Pc Effect	4-Pc Effect
Set 1	Increases Physical DMG by 10%	35% additional DMG for 12s after Assault is triggered by any squad member.
Set 2	Anomaly Mastery +8%	+45 Anomaly Proficiency for 8s after EX Special Attack; +25% Ether DMG if not the equipper.

For pieces 5 and 6, pick main stats like Anomaly Mastery, Physical Damage, or Attack. Substats should boost Anomaly Mastery, Attack, or Crit Rate. This helps Alice do more damage and keep her Anomaly effects strong.

Note: If you want to Build Alice for solo or team play, these sets let her do big damage in any fight.

With the right weapons, W-Engines, and Drive Disc sets, you can Build Alice into a top DPS agent. She will break enemy shields, trigger Anomaly effects, and help your team win tough battles.

Skill Priority & Playstyle Tips

Skill Upgrade Order

If you want Alice to hit hard, you need to level up her most important skills first. Start with her EX Special Attack. This skill gives Alice her biggest damage and lets her trigger Polarized Assault. Next, focus on her Core Passive. This boosts her DEF reduction and helps your team do more damage. After that, upgrade her Basic Attack and Ultimate. These skills help Alice keep her damage high in every fight.

Here’s a quick look at the skill upgrade order and what you need for each level:

Skill Level	Materials Required
Lv. 1-2	Basic Physical Chip x2
Lv. 2-3	Basic Physical Chip x3
Lv. 3-4	Advanced Physical Chip x2
Lv. 4-5	Advanced Physical Chip x3

Lv. 11-12	Specialized Physical Chip x15

Tip: Start farming Basic and Advanced Physical Chips early. You will need a lot if you want to Build Alice to her full power.

Combat Playstyle

Alice shines when you use her skills in the right order. Open with her EX Special Attack to trigger Polarized Assault. This move breaks shields and lowers enemy DEF. Your team can do more damage while the enemy is weak. Use her Blade Etiquette moves to keep her energy up and trigger more Anomaly effects. Swap Alice in for burst damage, then let your supports keep the pressure on.

Try these playstyle tips:

• Use Alice’s EX Special Attack as soon as it’s ready.
• Watch for the DEF reduction icon on enemies. That’s your signal to go all-in.
• Rotate to your support or Anomaly teammates to keep the damage going.
• Save Alice’s Ultimate for big groups or bosses.

Note: Practice her skill rotation in easy fights. You will get faster and do more damage in tough battles.

If you follow these steps, you can Build Alice into a top-tier DPS who helps your whole team win.
