Alice MLBB Tank Mage Guide: Best Build, Emblem, Skills, Combos, and Counters

Alice is a Tank/Mage who wins crowded fights by activating Crimson Blood Banquet, staying close enough to refresh it, and moving a charged Throne of Ruin onto several enemies with Scarlet Shadow. Her safest EXP plan is durability first: start Doom Waltz, use Crimson Gleam as both poke and an escape marker, and enter only after two Crimson stacks are realistic. She is strongest when tanks, fighters, and objective terrain keep enemies inside her aura. She is much weaker when ranged damage, anti-heal, true damage, or repeated disengage prevents a second skill cycle.

Alice at a Glance

Alice Skills: When, Why, and What Not to Do

1. Crimson Blood Banquet

Skill hits grant Crimson for 4 seconds. At two stacks, Blood Banquet activates around Alice, dealing Magic Damage that scales with Magic Power and the target's Max HP while restoring Alice every 0.5 seconds. Hero hits refresh the duration and the active aura grants 8% Movement Speed.

Decision rule: Build two stacks before committing to close range, then keep touching heroes with skills so the aura does not expire. Do not enter a full team without Blood Banquet ready or a clear second skill hit to start it.

2. Crimson Gleam

Alice fires blood energy forward for Magic Damage. Before it disappears, recast the skill as Scarlet Shadow to blink to the blood energy's location.

Decision rule: Use the first cast to poke, seed a Crimson stack, or prepare an exit. Recast only when the landing point starts Doom Waltz or avoids danger; do not blink automatically into every orb.

3. Doom Waltz

Alice damages nearby enemies and slows them by 70% for 1 second. When Blood Banquet is active, the skill also scorches enemies for 300% of the aura's damage and heals Alice for the same amount.

Decision rule: Take Doom Waltz at level one and use it to activate or cash in the passive around heroes and minions. Do not waste the amplified cast before Blood Banquet is active when a longer trade is about to begin.

4. Throne of Ruin

Alice channels for 1.5 seconds with Control Immunity and 50% Damage Reduction while self-slowed, then descends for heavy Magic Damage and a 1-second immobilize. Scarlet Shadow remains available during the charge.

Decision rule: Start the channel before the enemy commits, then use Scarlet Shadow during the charge to move the landing circle onto priority targets. Do not treat the ultimate as a last-frame heal after your HP has already collapsed.

Alice Skill Priority and Combos

Teamfight Combos

Crimson Gleam→Scarlet Shadow→Doom Waltz→Throne of Ruin

Send Crimson Gleam through the target area, recast Scarlet Shadow to arrive, use Doom Waltz to slow and refresh Crimson, then land Throne of Ruin after movement becomes predictable. The in-game combo order uses the same four icons for lane and teamfights; the difference is whether the first orb is poke, an escape marker, or a committed entry.

Do not: recast Crimson Gleam when the orb lands beyond your team, under an untouched turret, or inside anti-heal and burst that can erase you before Blood Banquet activates.

Laning Combos

Crimson Gleam→Scarlet Shadow→Doom Waltz→Throne of Ruin

Send Crimson Gleam through the target area, recast Scarlet Shadow to arrive, use Doom Waltz to slow and refresh Crimson, then land Throne of Ruin after movement becomes predictable. The in-game combo order uses the same four icons for lane and teamfights; the difference is whether the first orb is poke, an escape marker, or a committed entry.

Do not: recast Crimson Gleam when the orb lands beyond your team, under an untouched turret, or inside anti-heal and burst that can erase you before Blood Banquet activates.

Concentrated Energy	Magic Power, HP, Hybrid Lifesteal, and rechargeable damage stacks raise the aggressive drain ceiling.	Alice already survives the entry and needs more pressure during the second rotation	defense is missing or anti-heal makes extra sustain inefficient	3, 4

Best Teammates, Threats, and Matchups

Early pressure partners

Balmond and Dyrroth compensate for Alice's slower early curve and force opponents to fight instead of freely kiting. Let them start the first contact, then place Crimson Gleam across the escape path.

Hard healing and execute threats

Baxia attacks Alice's regeneration directly, while Martis can finish her before the next healing cycle. Shorten the engage, keep an exit orb, and do not assume another HP item solves the matchup.

Favorable low-mobility targets

Cecilion and Chang'e dislike a durable hero arriving inside their preferred range. Approach from fog, preserve Scarlet Shadow for the final gap, and stop chasing once they leave the objective zone.

Draft warning

Current relationship data highlights Angela as a difficult statistical opponent and Gloo as a favorable one. Treat those icons as draft context, then decide from mechanics: shields, healing, range, anti-heal, and whether enemies can escape the aura.

Alice Story

Love once defined Alice: her maiden dreams, her sense of worth, and the faith that made her protect her family even while imprisoned by the Monastery of Light. When the lies around her were exposed, she decided power and authority were the only truths she could trust. She carved a path to become the Abyss's Queen of Blood and swore never to serve as another person's pawn. From her throne, Alice intends to move the pieces herself.

Final Verdict

Alice succeeds when every button supports the same loop: create Crimson safely, activate Blood Banquet, enter with a planned escape, and keep opponents inside the circle long enough for Doom Waltz and Throne of Ruin to matter. Build Oracle and defenses for the actual enemy draft, use Vengeance before the burst arrives, and let objective space matter more than a low-percentage chase.
