Should You Pull?
Only if you like your fair share of rainbows. The Master of Puppets known as Alice Margatroid definitely likes her fair share of debuffs, anomaly utility in the form of Burn and Paralyze (leaning more to the former), and extensive rainbow action. If she wants to anomaly break enemies by Burning them, she very well can do it with a Spell Card or Last Word, about her elements though…
…Rainbowland has its downsides sadly. While it is fitting for most Alice variants, this version of her goes the distance on her immense spread of elements which sadly doesn’t do much for her. She is also going to require some support from her fellow teammates due to lacking Yang ATK and CRIT ATK in general, and as she doesn’t give much to her team aside from a mere Yang DEF buff, support is something to keep in mind with this puppeteer, but if you can keep that in mind, she might be able to really use all her dolls to their fullest potential!
Quick Overview
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.
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.
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.
