Playstyle Guide & Rotation
Alice is an anomaly character that revolves around the Physical Attribute Anomaly Effects, namely Assault and her special version of Assault – Polarized Assault.
Alice’s main gimmick revolves around her accumulating Blade Etiquette while attacking enemies and through other allies triggering the disorder effect while they are on the field. Upon accumulating Blade Etiquette, for every 100 Blade Etiquette, Alice will gain 1 charge. These charges can be spent by holding the Basic Attack button to do a Charge Basic Attack, dealing physical damage and quickly increasing the Attribute Anomaly Gauge on enemies.
When Alice has 3 charges, her Charged Basic Attack will unleash the strongest version of itself and automatically triggers the special Polarized Assault effect, which deals massive amounts of damage and can trigger Disorder with other Attribute Anomalies, including normal Assault. The goal of Alice is to trigger this effect when the enemies are already inflicted with Assault or other Attribute Anomaly Effects to deal massive amounts of Disorder damage while also allowing her to trigger her Core Skill and recover Blade Etiquette quickly.
