Alice: The Physical Anomaly Specialist
What Makes Her Tick
Alice isn"t your typical hack-and-slash character. She builds up these Blade Etiquette points (300 max) by landing hits, then you charge her Basic Attack to consume those stacks. The payoff? That final hit delivers Polarized Assault – and here"s where it gets spicy.
This Polarized Assault triggers Disorder with literally any Anomaly effect, including regular Assault. Her Core Passive keeps the pain going, dealing 2.5% of the original Anomaly damage every 0.95 seconds while Physical Anomaly stays active. But wait – there"s more. That Disorder damage multiplier ramps up 18% per second based on remaining Physical Anomaly duration. We"re talking a 180% cap here.
Editor"s note: I"ve seen this mechanic melt bosses that should take twice as long. It"s genuinely satisfying when it clicks.
W-Engine Breakdown
Practiced Perfection remains her signature for good reason. 60 Anomaly Mastery plus 40% Physical damage?
Chef"s kiss. That Anomaly Mastery converts to 96 Anomaly Proficiency through her passive, which is just… efficient.
Don"t have it? Sharpened Stinger works beautifully – 90 Anomaly Proficiency, 36% Physical damage, and 40% buildup rate. For the F2P crowd, Weeping Gemini with its stacking Anomaly Proficiency has surprised me more than once.
Fusion Compiler sits in that awkward middle ground. It works, but you"re not getting the specialized benefits Alice really wants.
Drive Disc Strategy
4-piece Fanged Metal + 2-piece Freedom Blues or Phaethon"s Melody. Pretty standard, but the substats matter more than you"d think.
Slot 4: Anomaly Proficiency (non-negotiable)
Slot 5: Physical DMG or PEN Ratio
Slot 6: Anomaly Mastery
Substats: Anomaly Proficiency > ATK% > PEN
Here"s something interesting – once Alice hits 140 Anomaly Mastery, every point beyond that gives 1.6 Anomaly Proficiency. The conversion rate makes stat prioritization crucial.
Skill Investment
Core Skill and Basic Attack deserve your books first. Both hit five stars immediately. Special Attack comes next for Blade Etiquette accumulation, then Chain Attack for ultimate damage.
Personal observation: I"ve seen too many players neglect Basic Attack upgrades. Don"t be that person.
Yuzuha: The Universal Enhancer
Support Mechanics That Actually Matter
Tier 0 Anomaly support isn"t just marketing speak here. Yuzuha provides ATK increases equal to 40% of her initial ATK – but only if you hit that 3,000 ATK threshold. Miss it? You"re leaving massive team buffs on the table.
Her Additional Ability grants 0.2% Anomaly Buildup Rate and damage per Anomaly Mastery over 100. At 200 Anomaly Mastery, you"re looking at a 20% bonus. Sweet Scare lasts 18 seconds, Tanuki Wish buffs stick around for 40 seconds, and her Ultimate restores 8.5 Energy while dealing serious damage.
The math works. Trust me on this one.
W-Engine Priorities
Metanukimorphosis brings 713 base ATK, 60% Energy Regen, and team buffs that last. If you"re serious about Yuzuha, this is your endgame.
A-Rank alternatives? Kaboom the Cannon has 74% community preference for good reason – 50% Energy Regen and 16% team ATK. Bashful Demon helps hit ATK thresholds. Weeping Cradle provides off-field Energy Regen for rotation-heavy teams.
Drive Disc Approach
4-piece Swing Jazz + 2-piece Phaethon"s Melody for reliable Energy Regen and Anomaly Mastery. Some players prefer three 2-piece sets (Swing Jazz, Phaethon"s Melody, Hormone Punk) for easier stat management.
Main stats focus on ATK and Anomaly Mastery. Those 3,000/200 thresholds aren"t suggestions.
Team Compositions That Work
Premium Setups
Alice + Yuzuha + Vivian represents optimal synergy.
Yuzuha"s buffs amplify both DPS characters while Vivian provides consistent off-field Ether Anomaly for Disorder reactions.
Alice + Yuzuha + Yanagi creates Polarity Disorder synergy that maximizes Alice"s self-sufficient mechanics. It"s elegant when executed properly.
F2P Reality Check
Alice + Nicole + Seth covers your bases – grouping, DEF reduction, shields, and Anomaly Proficiency buffs. Functional without breaking the bank.
Alice + Piper + Lucy doubles down on Physical Anomaly with ATK buffs and off-field damage. Not meta, but surprisingly effective.
Yuzuha"s Universal Appeal
She works with everyone. Seriously. Sweet Scare enables Sugarburst Sparkles that match your first ally"s element for faster buildup. Just make sure you"ve got an Anomaly or Spook Shack teammate for Additional Ability activation.
M2 changes everything by enabling forced Chain Attacks on unstunned enemies (20-second cooldown). It transforms rotation timing completely.
Advanced Optimization
Stat Calculations
For Alice, Anomaly Proficiency takes priority, followed by Anomaly Mastery, then ATK% and PEN. That 140 Anomaly Mastery threshold makes conversion calculations worthwhile.
Yuzuha needs 3,000 ATK mandatory, 200 Anomaly Mastery for damage cap. Beyond those thresholds, ATK shows diminishing returns – focus on Energy Regen and team utility.
Resource Investment Reality
Both characters need 800,000 Denny for Level 60 promotion. Skill upgrades cost 500,000 Denny each. Core Skills demand 400,000 Denny, 9 Sycophant"s Refinement, and 60 Higher Dimensional Data - Toxic Edge.
Alice M1 provides 25 Blade Etiquette restoration and 20% DEF reduction. Solid improvement. Yuzuha M2 represents the optimal stopping point for most players.
Endgame Performance
Content Analysis
Shiyu Defense: Alice sits at T0.5-T1 for those 150-second burst windows.
Yuzuha"s T0 universal enhancement shines in two-team requirements.
Deadly Assault: Alice excels in 3-minute sustained encounters through DoT mechanics. Yuzuha"s 40-second buffs cover significant portions of these longer fights.
F2P vs Premium Gaps
Alice F2P builds achieve 70-80% signature performance with Weeping Gemini. That"s… actually pretty good? Yuzuha shows minimal performance gaps when stat thresholds are met.
Investment priority: Yuzuha first for universal team improvement, Alice second for specialized DPS needs.
Common Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
Build Errors
Alice: Don"t neglect Anomaly Mastery thresholds for ATK%. You"re missing conversion mechanics and damage scaling.
Yuzuha: Failing that 3,000 ATK threshold significantly reduces team buff potential. Damage stats over support thresholds undermines her primary role.
Team Composition Failures
Not activating Additional Abilities represents major power loss. Anomaly/Support for Alice, Anomaly/Spook Shack for Yuzuha. Stat requirements often outweigh perfect character synergy.
Editor"s take: I"ve seen perfectly crafted teams underperform because players ignored activation requirements. Don"t be clever – be effective.
Meta Positioning
Current Status
Alice"s T0.5-T1 placement reflects her strong specialized role with signature weapon dependency. Yuzuha"s universal T0 rating demonstrates exceptional value across Anomaly teams.
Future-Proofing
Both resist power creep through unique mechanics (Alice) and support role longevity (Yuzuha). Upcoming content favors Alice"s damage profile while Yuzuha maintains universal relevance.
Alice represents solid Physical Anomaly investment with roster flexibility. Yuzuha stands as a top long-term investment due to support character longevity.
