Anomaly is taking over the meta again in Zenless Zone Zero, with the new characters being released (honestly, it never left since Miyabi arrived): Yuzuha and Alice. While Yuzuha is an exceptional Anomaly Support, Alice is an Anomaly DPS just like Jane.
Alice is an Agent who relies on Attribute Anomaly effects to deal damage. When using Polarized Assault, she can ignore Anomaly Buildup to deal damage equivalent to a regular Assault. So how to build Alice? Keep reading this guide to understand which W-Engine and Discs are the best for Alice and unleash her true potential in Zenless Zone Zero.

This effect expires when the target recovers from Stun or is defeated. The duration of each stack is calculated separately. |

Alice Synergy & Team Compositions
While Alice is an Anomaly DPS in Zenless Zone Zero, she prefers to be in a team with another Secondary DPS who are also Anomaly Agent so they can provide Anomaly Application. Both on-field (Yanagi & Grace) and off-field DPS (Vivian & Burnice) is applicable here, but you’ll need to learn the best rotation so everyone got the time field they deserve.
As mentioned right at the beginning, Yuzuha is currently the best Anomaly Support, so she is the best partner Alice can get. Not only can she provides a lot of buffs for Anomaly Agent, Yuzuha can also speed up the Anomaly Buildup while increasing its damage – she’s just perfect.
If you don’t have Yuzuha – or want to run dual Support for Alice – then these three generalist Support can slot in to the team. As a 5-star character, Astra is still the best out of the three support, as she can provides Quick Assists, healing, ATK, DMG, Crit Damage buffs, and all of these with low-field time. While Nicole can provide DEF Shred debuff and Alice with her ATK buff.
Team Composition Examples
In simpler team, you want to build DPS | DPS | Support for Alice – whereas she’s the first DPS. However, you can also try out DPS | Support | Support just for fun.
Alice Talent Priority
Basic Attack > Special Attack = Chain Attack > Assist > Dodge
Alice is a bit similar to Miyabi in ZZZ as her main damage output is from her Charged Basic ATK, that can only be done after accumulating Blade Etiquette (Miyabi with Fallen Frost). Thus, you’ll want to focus on her Basic Attack so she can deal the most possible damage from that one instance! Of course, the damage from her Special and Chain Attack could not be forgotten either.
Alice Mindscape Overview
Best Mindscapes: M1, M2 & M6
| Mindscape | Effects |
|---|---|
| Mindscape 1 ★ | When Alice triggers a Polarized Assault, she gains 25 Blade Etiquette. When she triggers Assault against an enemy, the target’s DEF is reduced by 20% for 30s. |
| Mindscape 2 ★ | When Ultimate: Starfall Finale’s Finishing Move hits an enemy, it triggers Polarized Assault. All squad members’ Assault DMG increases by 15%. Disorder DMG against enemies suffering from Physical Anomaly increases by 15%. Upon entering the battlefield, Alice immediately gains 1,000 Decibels. Triggers once per 180s in Investigation Zone mode. |
| Mindscape 3 | Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 |
| Mindscape 4 | Alice ignores 10% of the target’s Physical RES. Enhanced Basic Attack: Celestial Overture accumulates 25% more Physical Anomaly Buildup. |
| Mindscape 5 | Basic Attack, Assist, Dodge, Special Attack, and Chain Attack Lv. +2 |
| Mindscape 6 ★ | When Alice uses a third-stage charged Basic Attack: Starshine Waltz or Ultimate: Starfall Finale, she enters the Victory State for 30s. During this time, whenever any squad member lands a hit on a target, Alice will follow up with an extra attack against the target, dealing Physical DMG equal to 3,300% of her Anomaly Proficiency. This effect can trigger once every 1s and is guaranteed to CRIT. This effect can trigger up to 6 times. Gaining the Victory State again refreshes the available trigger count. |
