Alice Margatroid (Sporadically Margaret)

Alice Margatroid (L80) was released on August 19, 2022 in Relic Prayer “Margaret Memories”.

For farming, Alice is among the more capable options in the game. Thanks to her Last Word, The Phantom of the Grand Guignol - Curtain Call, Alice can deal a great deal of damage to all her enemies. Her bespoke Story Card, Sporadically Margaret, augments the power of her last word even further. Thanks to her skills, powerful Last Word, and a story card that is catered towards her, Alice can farm nearly all story cards to date with relative ease.

In challenging content, Alice takes the role of either a supporter or a damage dealer. However, her skills nudge her towards a more supportive role.With her 1st skill, Sorciere de la Foret, she inflicts 3 layers of paralysis anomalies to herself. She also gives 2 barriers and .8 P to the party to enhance their survivability, breaks, and damage. Alice’s ability, Capable of handling dolls (Lost), boosts her power with each level of paralysis, providing a nice level of synergy with the self-inflicted paralysis from her first skill.. Her 2nd skill, Devildom Being, provides her with 1.2 P which when combined with her 1st skill, can give her 3 boosts on her first turn. Not only that, but this skill also provides good utility in the form of 2 levels of Yin ATK and 3 levels of Accuracy for 3 turns to the party. Finally, her 3rd skill, Witch of Death, inflicts 2 levels of Yin DEF down, 2 levels of CRIT Evasion down, and 2 layers of paralysis anomalies to all enemies for 4 turns. With all of these skills, Alice supports Yin nukers very well. However, one may be wary of her 3rd skill’s duration due to its long cooldown. 

Alice’s 1st spell card, Black Sign: Marisa Doll of Memories, is a rather selfish spell card, providing Alice with 2 levels of Agility for 4 turns and inflicting 3 levels of CRIT DEF down and 3 layers of paralysis anomalies for 3 turns. With boosts, this spell can provide even more intense buffs – she can get 2 additional levels of Agility and another level of both Yin and Yang DEF for 3 turns. Her 2nd spell card, Purple Sign: Patchouli Doll of Knowledge, provides more team utility by inflicting 2 levels of CRIT Evasion down to all enemies for 4 turns and giving the team 0.85 P as a post effect. This spell card also boosts her power further by self-inflicting  a layer of paralysis anomaly for 3 turns. Combined with the in-line effects of each bullet on this attack, she can inflict up to 4 levels of CRIT Evasion down to all enemies. Finally, her Last Word provides a great deal of utility. Starting with buffs, it provides the team with 2 levels of Yin DEF, Agility, and CRIT ATK for 4 turns. This attack also inflicts 2 levels of Yin DEF and Yang DEF down for 4 turns. As such, her Last Word not only can function as a great nuke, but a way to set up damage for the team thanks to her myriad of buffs and debuffs combined with her skills. 

When it comes to barrier breaks, Alice is a mixed bag with a strong emphasis towards single target breaks. With a P0 Star and Moon on her two basic shots, her 1st spell card has a total of 6 Star breaks with the ability to break paralysis barriers with one boost. Thanks to this, Alice can easily inflict a full break on a target who is weak to Star on her first turn. Her 2nd spell card, on the other hand, has 3 Moon and 3 Metal breaks. While her spell 2 can break blind anomalies, she needs outside help from characters who can inflict blind in order to use this to her advantage. Finally, Alice’s Last Word is a mixed bag with a spread of Wood, Fire, Earth, Star, Metal, and Water. While the last word does have the ability to break paralysis and burn barriers, the mixed elements may make it difficult to take advantage and fully break an enemy with ease compared to a more focused elemental spread. 

Ultimately, Alice has a great combo of both damage and utility. While she may be more oriented around Yin nukers, she certainly can provide the team with the ability to power through, just like how she acts as a puppet master.
