When crafting your ideal ZZZ Alice build, thoughtful planning is essential to ensure this Spook Shack character excels in combat. Alice has specific stat requirements that can be met without needing her exclusive W-Engine or an elite team for effective gameplay.
This guide presents the optimal ZZZ Alice build, featuring recommendations for her W-Engine, Drive Disc selections, and a list of her top teammates.
Optimal ZZZ Alice Build
Choosing the Right W-Engine for ZZZ Alice
To enhance Alice’s effectiveness, focus on selecting a W-Engine that boosts her secondary stats, which are crucial for achieving her optimal thresholds across multiple attributes. Her signature W-Engine, Practiced Perfection, stands out as the best option, providing a massive 30 percent increase in attack and a 60 percent boost in anomaly mastery. Moreover, each time Alice inflicts an assault, her physical damage rises by an additional 20 percent for 20 seconds, stacking up to two times.
While Practiced Perfection is essential, other engines can also complement Alice’s performance. The Fusion Compiler, owned by Grace, is a viable alternative that enhances Alice’s output as a conventional DPS character with its secondary PEN ratio, increasing her attack by 12 percent. Moreover, activating an EX Special grants a temporary 25 percent boost in anomaly proficiency for eight seconds, stackable up to three times.
Another compatible option is Jane Doe’s Sharpened Stinger. Although its secondary stat raises anomaly proficiency by 90 at level 60, its passive ability relies on specific actions, such as dash attacks or perfect dodges, which may not align with Alice’s gameplay style.
A free W-Engine option, Weeping Gemini, available for purchase with Dennies in the gadget store, provides a 25 percent attack boost and can stack anomaly proficiency by 30 each time an anomaly status is inflicted. This approach allows Alice to achieve an impressive total of 120 anomaly proficiency effortlessly.
The battle pass engine, Electro-Lip Gloss, grants a notable 75 proficiency boost along with a 10 percent attack increase when enemies are affected by anomalies, as well as a 15 percent damage boost against those targets.
Drive Discs for ZZZ Alice
Alice’s optimal Drive Disc setup concentrates on the Fanged Metal set, which effectively meets all her needs. The benefits include:
- Two-piece effect: Boosts physical damage by 10 percent.
- Four-piece effect: Grants a 35 percent damage increase to targets suffering from the assault status for 12 seconds whenever any teammate inflicts this status.
Consider utilizing two pieces of Phaethon’s Melody for an additional 8 percent anomaly mastery. If proficiency is your priority, you can swap in two pieces of Chaos Jazz or Freedom Blues for an extra 30 proficiency boost.
Understanding ZZZ Alice’s Stats
Alice is among the more challenging anomaly agents to optimize due to her dual role as an on-field DPS character. This requirement demands not only a robust attack but also specific mastery and proficiency levels to maximize her passive abilities. Fortunately, a high-quality W-Engine (including the free variants) can alleviate some of the mastery and proficiency challenges, allowing you to focus on just two statistics.
Strive for the following stat goals:
- Attack: 2, 500-3, 000
- Anomaly mastery: 180 or higher (ideally cap below 200)
- Anomaly proficiency: 300
Reaching this proficiency level is beneficial, and Alice’s bonus ability enhances proficiency by 1.6 for every mastery point above 140, making it advantageous to target a mastery level of 180 or 190 for solid proficiency gains right from the start.
For Drive Disc slots, your priorities should be as follows:
- Slot 4: Anomaly mastery
- Slot 5: Physical damage or attack percentage
- Slot 6: Anomaly proficiency
Focus on attack and anomaly statistics for substats, and don’t fret over crit rate and crit damage, as these are not essential for Alice.
Alice’s Skill Prioritization
Most of Alice’s damage output stems from her basic attack, closely followed by her chain attack. While her special offers decent multipliers, it’s advisable to allocate resources primarily to enhancing her basic attack before focusing on her special skills. Moreover, her dodge and quick assist mechanics are fairly typical and do not play a significant role in activating her core passive or bonus abilities.
This prioritization can be distilled into the following sequence:
- Basic Attack
- Chain Attack
- EX Special
- Dodge or Quick Assist
- Quick Assist or Dodge
Forming Effective Teams for ZZZ Alice
Similar to Miyabi, Alice thrives on the battlefield when she remains active, particularly when accompanied by at least one other anomaly character. Her primary passive depends on inflicting physical anomaly status, which Alice can achieve, but pairing her with characters like Piper or Jane Doe simplifies the activation.
Furthermore, Alice’s secondary passive activates during a Disorder occurrence while the target suffers from a physical anomaly. The damage from Disorder increases by 18 percent for every second remaining on the physical anomaly’s timer, with a max increase of 180 percent. Although Alice can trigger Disorder through her enhanced basic attack, it’s smoother with additional elemental support.
- Vivian (ether)
- Burnice (fire)
- Grace or Yanagi (electric)
Don’t forget to include a support character to amplify Alice’s damage output. Yuzuha excels at enhancing anomaly damage, while Astra Yao’s wide-ranging buffs and Nicole’s defense penetration provide valuable support. If prioritizing high attack, consider adding Lucy to your team as well.
Alice’s Physical Anomaly Team
- Alice
- Piper or Jane Doe
- Nicole, Yuzuha, Lucy, or Astra Yao
Alice’s Disorder Team
- Alice
- Burnice, Grace, or Yanagi
- Nicole, Yuzuha, Lucy, or Astra Yao
Exploring Alice and Miyabi Team Synergy
While it may seem appealing to pair Alice with Miyabi due to their shared focus on Disorder, both characters require significant on-field time to effectively activate their core passives. While experimenting with this pairing is possible, alternative combinations often yield stronger results for both characters.
