Arare
Expand
Arare (a Touhou LW original) refers to lumps of ice smaller than hail that fall from the sky. This is an apt temperament for Alice, who awoke earlier than planned.

Alice's attributes are praised for being extremely well-balanced. She chose Reverse Sun Essence temperament to help resolve a certain vampire-instigated incident.

The alluring and arrogant Sun Essence resists the diverse and uncooperative Star Essence, but it is weak to the cooperative and indecisive Moon Essence. Thus, Reverse Sun Essence is weak against Star Essence and resists Moon Essence.

Character Shots

The Spread Shot of Alice Margatroid from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. This world's Alice uses her magic dolls in her own version of ''Shanghai Doll.'' This Alice has many self-made dolls, and most of her magical attacks utilize them in some way. Overall, she doesn't seem much different to our Alice... However, she uses ''Shanghai'' and ''Hourai'' not as names for her dolls but as labels to distinguish their type and the functions they perform. ...Huh? Our Alice doesn't give her dolls names either, you say? Is that so?

The Focus Shot of Alice Margatroid from the world shrouded in scarlet mist. This world's Alice uses magic string in her own version of ''Rainbow Wire.'' This is the same string she uses to move her dolls. Since her dolls aren't conscious beings, it seems they can't move of their own accord, so in order to control them, Alice transmits magical power to them via string. Remember how matter in Makai is supposedly sentient and can move? Surely that's what Alice's string was made from... Wait, what?

A Spell Card of Alice Margatroid from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She uses her favorite dolls in this attack. This Alice accidentally calls her dolls ''Beliar'' and ''Naberia,'' but with few examples of those names being used in other worlds, why she does so is unknown. It's likely that she's been using these dolls since she was in Makai and that Beliar and Naberia are their magical names. With the truth unclear, this is nothing more than speculation, but it's probably not possible for them to keep their magical names outside of Makai. What's more, it seems the names don't have simple one-to-one translations you can use. One could imagine that erasing the dolls' names holds some sort of curse-related significance. It's all very mysterious.

A Spell Card of Alice Margatroid from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). Dolls stand in a circle and attack. The Japanese word for amphitheater, ''enkei gekijou,'' can also be used to mean circus, as traditionally, circus performances in Japan took place in circular venues. Circus shows typically use a round stage and include fantastical humans and rare animals. When audience members return home after a show, they often recall what they saw as they shut their eyes to sleep. They ask themselves, ''Was that really magic... or just some kind of trick?''

The Last Word of Alice Margatroid from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). She accesses memories stored in the grimoire in this attack. It's said that many magicians possess a grimoire that serves as a testament to all their achievements. They are a complete written record of a magician's life and include all their experiences and knowledge. The majority of magicians never make the contents of their grimoires public, and this Alice is no exception. However, this attack with her grimoire seems to reveal that she spent time in a somewhat mysterious city in a foreign land. Coquelicot red pairs with marguerite white and cornflower blue to form the three colors of fraternity, equality, and liberty. That doesn't even make 42.9% of Alice's full power, though.

Character Ability

Capable of mainly using magic
Expand
The ability of Alice Margatroid from the world shrouded in scarlet mist (a Touhou LW original). It is essentially the same as our version of Alice's ability.

However, there is no record of this Alice having ever taken a stand to help resolve the Scarlet Mist Incident―at least, not in any credible sources. Perhaps the incident's prolonging meant it simply overlapped with Alice's awakening. Or maybe its prolonging somehow triggered it. Then again, what transpired could have been some kind of inevitability... Fate, if you will. The truth is not currently known.

If you take her at her word, in the time before Alice awoke, she was deep in hibernation, preparing her body to live outside of Makai. She's probably referring to the abandonment of food and worms necessary to become a magician or some other equivalent... As a result, she awoke earlier than intended in a child's body, but what on earth could that mean?

This world's Alice―or rather, the world in which this Alice appeared, is perhaps equivalent to a copy of a copy. Prior to its discovery, its existence wasn't even postulated. But now its existence is known, it shall never be forgotten. This is surely just the start of something bigger.
Immune to Barrier Status: Burn. When attacked with Burn, recovers 5% of own HP.
For every layer of Barrier Status: Paralyze, Yang DEF, Yin DEF, CRIT DEF, and CRIT Evasion 1 level UP.
DMG to resisted elements 25% UP.
DMG from effective elements 25% DOWN.

Character Analysis

Alice Margatroid (Scarlet) was released on April 14th 2023 in "Festival Prayer: Alice in Scarletland." For more up-to-date analysis, be sure to visit the Discord Official Discord Server.

Welcome to Wonderland…or Scarletland, which seems to be where this Grimoire-wielding magician from the Forest of Dolls suddenly appeared from! She isn’t very fond of the troublesome Scarlet Mist, so in order to get to the bottom of this predicament, the curtains have opened and coquelicots are falling. She isn’t alone though, as she is supported by her faithful dolls and her Makai-born powers.

Alice Margatroid (A6) is a Debuff-Class Friend who weakens her enemies with defensive debuffs, plays with Burn and Paralyze anomalies and showers her foes with a rainbow of elements.

As a Debuffer

  • Debuffs the Yang DEF of enemies via Skill 2 and Last Word.
  • Debuffs the Yin DEF of enemies via Second Spell Card and Last Word,
  • Skill 2 and a Last Word bullet Line can also reduce CRIT Evasion.
  • CRIT DEF debuffs are in her bullet lines across her Spread Shot, First Spell Card and Last Word

As a Utility / Support

  • Able to inflict Burn anomalies on her enemies with Skill 2, First Spell Card and Spread Shot bullet lines. These can be broken via Solo First Spell Card and Last Word at 2P.
  • Breaks Paralyze anomalies via Last Word at 2P.
  • Grants herself 2 Barriers via Skill 3, maintaining Paralyze anomaly inflictions.
  • Provides her allies Yang DEF via Skill 1.

As a Tank

  • Self-Inflicted Paralyze anomalies are performed through both Spell Card Pre-ATKs, increasing Yin DEF, Yang DEF, CRIT DEF and CRIT Evasion.
  • Converts Burn anomalies inflicted on her into restoring 5% of her HP.
  • Reduces damage received from Scarlet Devil Mansion enemies by 40%.
  • Reduces damage received from Star Elemental bullets by 25%.

As an Attacker

  • Able to increase her Spirit Power by 1.50 via Skill 3.
  • Increases her Accuracy from Skill 1
  • Increases her Yang ATK and CRIT ATK from her First Spell Card and Last Word Pre-ATKs respectively.
  • Has a solid Killer range, carried by Youkai Killer.
  • Increases her damage from bullets that enemies resist by 25%; having rainbow elements means this may come into play frequently.

Story Card Recommendations

(Card recommendations last updated on May 07, 2023)

Spell Card

Spirit Power is always welcome, and A6 Alice is certainly receptive to benefiting from more of it through The Witch of Scarlet Dreams and its 2.00 increase of it. If you’re looking for a mix of offense and team support, Nameless Adventurers is a great fit for her First Spell Card, boosting Normal bullets by 50% while also increasing the Yang ATK of her teammates by 2 Stages. As for her Second Spell Card, we have Sporadically Margaret which boosts Sharp Bullets by 50% (as well as a singular Wood Bullet by 40%).

Last Word

It may not be designed specifically for this version of Alice Margatroid, but Sporadically Margaret is the best fit here, boasting a 50% Sharp Bullet boost for A6 Alice to reap, as well as a single bullet line taking advantage of its 40% Wood increase. This is enough to edge out I’m Alright!, a fantastic alternative that boosts Sharp Bullets by the same amount, with The Heat of my Fingertips taking bronze thanks to it providing a 45% boost in Sharp bullets.

Character Skill Level Up Recommendations

The more Spirit Power, the merrier, so let’s start with Skill 3’s (Partial) Full Power, which also takes her own Barrier count up to 2 stages. Next up is Skill 1’s Still Growing, as being able to ensure attacks hit with those Accuracy buffs is never a bad thing. Teamwide Yang DEF doesn’t hurt either. Last, but certainly not least is our second Skill, Makai Fire. Yang DEF and CRIT Evasion debuffs as well as Burning up all enemies will definitely have some use.

Character Strengths

Debuffs and Anomalies

While A6 Alice may be focused on Yang DEF debuffs via Skill 2 and her Last Word, she provides Yin DEF debuffs through her Second Spell Card and Last Word Pre-ATKs. It may seem odd for a Yang unit like this puppeteer, but with some Yin-based allies, this could be of use. Yin allies will also appreciate the slight benefit from A6 Alice inflicting Burn anomalies on her foes, should she opt not to anomaly break.

Puppets and Power

Having a decent range of Killers, with Youkai being the main one here is always convenient, and with the CRIT DEF and CRIT Evasion debuffs in A6 Alice’s kit, she will capitalize on that well. She is also able to use Hard Scaling to her advantage, with it having more of an effect through methods such as her Paralyze anomaly inflicts on herself.

Character Weaknesses

Alice in Rainbowland

Having all kinds of elements in one’s attacks is very hard to work with, especially when the most rainbow-y set of elements we have seen to date resides in A6 Alice’s kit. With her rainbow scheme preventing an element appearing more than once in any of her attacks, her elemental break potential is very much hindered, even mitigations like slight anomaly breaking and resisted elements getting a 25% boost aren’t enough to cover this flaw up.

No Support, Needs Support

As a debuffer, it’s natural that A6 Alice will want to focus on that, but her only way to buff the team is Yang DEF UP, which is especially selfish. On top of that, her buffs she gives herself like Yang ATK, CRIT ATK and to some extent, Yang DEF are very lacking, so she needs some backup that can provide the above to really bring her damage up.
