In the ever-evolving landscape of Zenless Zone Zero, Alice stands as a formidable Physical-Anomaly character who continues to dominate the meta in 2025. Her versatility allows players to utilize her as either a main DPS or Sub-DPS depending on team composition and build preferences. As players explore New Eridu's dangerous zones, Alice's ability to trigger Disorder mechanics makes her an invaluable asset for any roster.

Alice's Team Compositions: Finding the Perfect Synergy

"Have you seen what happens when Alice pairs with other Anomaly Agents?" asked veteran player TechnoSlice during the recent ZZZ Championship. "It's like watching a beautiful dance of destruction."

Indeed, Alice's compatibility with other Anomaly characters creates some of the most devastating team compositions in the current meta. Her ability to build up Anomaly status and trigger Disorder effects makes her particularly synergistic with characters who can capitalize on these mechanics.

Premium Team Options

The community has extensively tested various Alice teams throughout 2025, with three premium combinations emerging as top contenders:

  1. Alice + Yanagi + Yuzuha

  2. Alice + Vivian + Burnice

  3. Alice + Pulchra + Grace

"The key to maximizing Alice's potential lies in understanding her Disorder mechanics," explains ZZZ analyst GameMaster45. "When properly triggered, her damage output becomes exponentially more powerful."

The consensus among top players points to Yuzuha as Alice's ideal support partner. Yuzuha provides substantial Anomaly buffs while dealing respectable damage herself. Most importantly, she accomplishes this while consuming minimal field time, creating more opportunities for Alice to shine.

For the third slot in Alice's team, both Yanagi and Vivian present compelling options. Yanagi creates an exceptional combo with Alice by instantly triggering Disorder upon field entry. This allows players to alternate between Alice and Yanagi, maximizing DPS with each Disorder hit. In this rotation-heavy setup, both characters function as Sub-DPS units, creating a seamless flow of damage.

Alternatively, pairing Alice with Vivian transforms her into the main DPS, while Vivian and Yuzuha provide off-field support. This composition allows Alice to remain on the field longer, capitalizing on extended damage windows.

Alternative Premium Composition

"Sometimes you need to adapt when Yuzuha is committed to another team," notes competitive player ElectricDreamer. "Thankfully, Alice remains extremely effective with other Anomaly characters."

Since Alice's gameplay centers around Disorder triggers, combining her with two strong sub-DPS Anomaly characters creates a formidable team. The Vivian and Burnice pairing exemplifies this approach, as all three characters continuously build Anomaly status, eventually unleashing a cascade of Disorder effects that overwhelm enemies.

F2P-Friendly Options

Building an F2P Alice team presents unique challenges, as Anomaly characters have limited accessible options. However, Alice's versatility makes this task more manageable than for other premium characters.

While Piper is technically an A-Rank Anomaly character, she doesn't complement Alice effectively. The ideal teammate should help trigger Disorder, and unfortunately, Alice outperforms Piper in virtually every aspect. This leaves Grace as the primary F2P option for Alice teams.

Seth provides another viable A-Rank option, offering shields and buffs while debuffing enemies' Anomaly build-up resistance. This helps both Grace and Alice apply their Anomaly effects more efficiently, triggering Disorder more frequently. Though not as powerful as premium compositions, this team can successfully navigate most content.

Optimizing Alice's Build: W-Engines and Drive Discs

"The difference between a good Alice and a great one often comes down to equipment choices," observes ZZZ equipment specialist GearGuru. "W-Engines and Drive Discs can dramatically amplify her strengths."

W-Engine Selection

While Alice's Signature Weapon represents her optimal W-Engine, several alternatives can serve her effectively:

  • Signature W-Engine: Provides unmatched Anomaly build-up and Disorder damage

  • Butterfly Effect: Offers solid CRIT stats and Anomaly damage boost

  • Stellar Guidance: Increases Physical damage, beneficial for her basic attacks

  • Amber Dust: F2P option that provides acceptable CRIT Rate boost

The choice ultimately depends on player resources and team composition. Those focusing on Disorder triggers should prioritize Anomaly-enhancing options, while those using Alice as a sustained DPS might prefer CRIT-focused alternatives.

Drive Disc Configurations

Alice's Drive Disc setup significantly impacts her performance. The community has identified several optimal configurations:

Main DPS Build:

  • 2-Piece Shattered Realm: Increases Physical DMG

  • 2-Piece Spatial Anomaly: Boosts Anomaly build-up

Sub-DPS Build:

  • 4-Piece Spatial Anomaly: Maximizes Disorder triggers and damage

Hybrid Build:

  • 4-Piece Shattered Realm: Balances normal attacks with Anomaly effects

"The beauty of Alice's Drive Disc options is their flexibility," says build theorist ComboQueen. "You can tailor her performance to your specific team needs without sacrificing overall effectiveness."

Mindscape Cinema Priorities

For players fortunate enough to obtain multiple copies of Alice, understanding Mindscape Cinema priorities becomes essential. Each unlock provides different benefits:

  • First Unlock: Increases Disorder damage by 15%

  • Second Unlock: Extends Anomaly duration by 4 seconds

  • Third Unlock: Provides team-wide Anomaly build-up boost

Most experts recommend prioritizing her first and second unlocks, as they directly enhance her core Disorder mechanics. The third unlock becomes particularly valuable in teams with multiple Anomaly characters.

The Future of Alice in the Meta

As we move through 2025, Alice continues to maintain her position as a top-tier character in Zenless Zone Zero. Her unique Disorder mechanics and flexibility make her resistant to power creep, even as new characters enter the roster.

"What makes Alice special is how she transforms depending on who you pair her with," reflects ZZZ community manager DriftingPixel. "She can be a rotation-heavy Sub-DPS or a field-dominant main carry. Few characters offer that level of adaptability."

For players debating whether to invest in Alice, the answer remains overwhelmingly positive. Her versatility, powerful Disorder mechanics, and compatibility with both premium and F2P teammates ensure she'll remain relevant throughout 2025 and beyond.

As we've explored throughout this analysis, Alice's potential truly shines when players understand her core mechanics and team synergies. Whether triggering Disorder with Yanagi or dominating the field alongside Vivian and Yuzuha, Alice continues to be one of New Eridu's most formidable defenders. In a game where adaptation is key, Alice's versatility makes her an invaluable asset for any Proxy seeking to master the challenges of the Hollow.
