Budget healer with damage reduction.

B

+Better defense mechanics against burst damage than other pure healers

-Inability to heal on command weakens her sustain potential

-Provides no utility besides pure healing/defenses

-Novio exists

-Arguably worse than Philyshy (a Water unit) within her own element

It's fairly difficult to get by without playing a pure healer at certain points, so raising Alice is sometimes a necessary evil if you lack Novio and Liqing. That said, no sustain on command and no additional utility means that she is the weakest of the 4 star healers across all elements by a pretty wide margin. The fact that you are sometimes forced to use Alice if you don't have Novio is one of the reasons why Fire is usually considered one of the hardest element to climb Spire with, despite the fact Fire has great DPS units and unrivalled mobility.
