==={{Star|4}} Alice===


===☆3/☆4 Alice===
While Alice used to be a pure Dazzler without much else to offer, her skill evolution added some more niche to her. In addition to expanding her Dazzle range even further, she can now do something similar to {{Transient icon|Shiva|rarity=5|}}'s CS, but in magic range and only on the enemy's side. Like Shiva, Alice has control over when this happens, so she can safely move to utilize it when enemies have stacked enough buffs to outweigh any debuffs they may be holding. Conveniently, as this happens on move in the same range as her attack, targets are nearly guaranteed to be left with Dazzle, plus any other debuffs her allies might bring.


Simply put, {{Transient icon|Alice}} is a Bewitched dispenser, Bewitched stacks with Curse, so her utility is there, that’s basically what she can do and she should be used only for this purpose, it helps that LB3 pushes her otherwise lacking damage output a bit. Her Charge is situational, but is great when there’s obnoxious buffs at play, or too many buffs on the targets. The biggest problem is that anything that can apply Bewitched normally will already harshly outdo her, so it’s quite hard to justify a spot in the party for such a young girl.
==={{Star|5}} Halloween Alice===


===☆5 Halloween Alice===
One of the few female {{Star|5}} units and the sole variant until Christmas of 2021, Halloween Alice offers enough to stand out after her second skill evolution. Having Attack Up at phase start, higher base attack value and Slash range, she can provide much better damage than her {{Star|4}} version. She can also apply Dazzle the same as before, though at smaller range which can be brought back to her original Magic range on move in exchange for thinned damage spread. Additionally, she can provide some team healing and CP, but this skill needs defensive support from allies or her own Dazzle, as she has no other means of self-defense and can easily die, especially to Aether units. Her second skill evolution gave her a unique offensive niche when paired with debuffers such as {{Transient icon|Ellie|rarity=5|}}, since she herself only has access to two debuffs after the added Skill Lock.
 
Definitely an Alice that works different from the normal one, {{Transient icon|Alice|rarity=5|variant=Halloween}} is half support, half glass cannon, her charge skill is straight-up fantastic and LB1 boosts her damage very nicely. Like the original Alice, she slaps Bewitched left and right, which is a slightly better Curse and rather good to have given it's separate from Curse. Apart from that, she has a "when damaged" skill that's on the greater end of the spectrum of similar-functioning skills that are otherwise discouraged to exploit. The only relatively bad thing is how much space she takes being 5☆ and that her Default is largely situational, otherwise her element and skills set room for potential to be greatly exploited.

Overview

Alice

While Alice used to be a pure Dazzler without much else to offer, her skill evolution added some more niche to her. In addition to expanding her Dazzle range even further, she can now do something similar to Shiva's CS, but in magic range and only on the enemy's side. Like Shiva, Alice has control over when this happens, so she can safely move to utilize it when enemies have stacked enough buffs to outweigh any debuffs they may be holding. Conveniently, as this happens on move in the same range as her attack, targets are nearly guaranteed to be left with Dazzle, plus any other debuffs her allies might bring.

Halloween Alice

One of the few female units and the sole variant until Christmas of 2021, Halloween Alice offers enough to stand out after her second skill evolution. Having Attack Up at phase start, higher base attack value and Slash range, she can provide much better damage than her version. She can also apply Dazzle the same as before, though at smaller range which can be brought back to her original Magic range on move in exchange for thinned damage spread. Additionally, she can provide some team healing and CP, but this skill needs defensive support from allies or her own Dazzle, as she has no other means of self-defense and can easily die, especially to Aether units. Her second skill evolution gave her a unique offensive niche when paired with debuffers such as Ellie, since she herself only has access to two debuffs after the added Skill Lock.
