A Guide to Building Alice in "Zero" | Skill Priorities, Optimal Audio Drive Builds, and Top-Tier Team Recommendations

In "Zero," Alice is a representative physical damage dealer. With her unique "Polar Strike" mechanic and powerful, sustained physical damage, she delivers explosive damage in intense combat while also providing both damage control and buffs.

This article provides a comprehensive guide to Alice's development—from character mechanics to Audio Drive recommendations, Drive Builds, team composition, and skill upgrade priorities—to help you build a powerful lineup centered around Alice.

1. Alice's Role and Core Mechanics

Role Position: Main Carry / Physical Damage Dealer

Rarity: S-Tier

Attribute: Physical

Trait: Abnormal Damage

Core Mechanics Analysis

Polar Strike: Alice's three-stage charge allows for a direct finishing blow, even without the traditional Abnormal buildup process. This mechanic perfectly complements various "Abnormal Disorder" states, providing extremely flexible team builds.

Mastery to Abnormal Control: When Abnormal Control exceeds 140, each additional point of Mastery grants an additional 1.6 Abnormal Mastery, effectively converting excess Control into a direct damage boost.

Continuous Physical Abnormal Damage: When any character in your team unleashes a Power Attack, the entire team experiences continuous physical abnormal damage. This damage accumulates over time and with a multiplier, creating a snowballing burst.

Boosted Charge Efficiency: When Alice personally triggers a Power Attack, the efficiency of physical abnormal charge increases by an additional 25% for 30 seconds, creating a highly effective burst damage window.

Advantages: Well-rounded mechanics, combined with sustained damage and burst, suitable for independently building physical anomaly teams.

Disadvantages: Depends on the Sword Gauge's charge rate; burst is limited if the charge is not full.
