2.1 Version Phase 2 Banner Launches
S-Rank Agents: Alice, Von Lycaon
S-Rank W-Engines: Stardust Illusion, Sage of Stillness
Alice is a Physical Anomaly DPS who can trigger Polarity Shock without filling the entire anomaly bar—she’s essentially an upgraded version of Ellen.
However, if you already have a team with Ellen, Rina, and Yoyo, Alice isn’t a must-pull.
Von Lycaon can trigger Polarity Disorder, making him a flexible Sub-DPS. He works as a Main DPS with Vivian or Ben Bigger, or as a Sub-DPS in Nicole or Alice teams.
If your Anomaly team lacks members, consider pulling him. If you already have a solid team, he’s not essential.
A-Rank Agents: Koleda, Seth
A-Rank W-Engines: Shy Look, Orderbringer – Special Edition
