C tier (Narrow)

Alf breaks poise and does respectable damage while doing it, and her Ultimate refills all six Reserve Ammo for an immediate second shotgun sequence. The problem is Lorin, who carries 37.5% Stun Buildup Bonus in nodes against her 25% and does not have to stop to reload. Her Reserve Ammo regenerates at 0.2 per second, so the combo keeps breaking off to restock through the third-hit charge. She is the best Ignis poise breaker because she is the only one, which is a real reason to build her if that slot is empty.

About Alf

"The most important job of a maid is to protect her employer!" A speckless home, a speckless soul. Although Alf is quite clumsy in all manner of mundane household chores, she is surprisingly dependable during fights. Alf usually confronts enemies with her shotgun; activating the Reactor on her back converts the shotgun into a flamethrower, spewing fires that reduce enemies into cinders. Maid No. 49 of the Maid Institute, Society, and Services (MISS), she learned of the Detective's kind nature and chose to stick around, carrying only two weapons: a flamethrower, and a bulletproof innocent heart. 'NO WEAPONS in the kitchen.' A memo from the Detective, posted on the fridge door.

In the Dichotomy Beta story, Alf is the first assistant candidate Lorin brings to the Detective, and she fails every test: she cannot spell, has no idea how to brew tea, and her smooth, uncalloused hands and brand-new reactor mark her as a stranger to hard work. Undeterred by the rejection, she simply refuses to leave and appoints herself guardian of the reopened office.

That stubbornness pays off. When the journalist Grimm sneaks in, Alf thrashes him and throws him out, unknowingly protecting the notebook he had come to hide, evidence that later cracks the Cinderellas case wide open. The rest of her showcase is comedy and heart: salty tea from mixing up the salt and sugar, self-taught baking timed by waiting for the 'boom', a staring contest won against a crow, and pocket money quietly saved to buy the Detective a gift.

Personality: Clumsy maid with terrible housekeeping skills but surprisingly dependable in fights. To her, everything under the sun is a brand-new wonder.
Appearance: Salmon pink hair and teal eyes with light pink pupils. Wears short black maid skirt and black sleeves with white details. Heart-shaped watch on hip. Cat paw motif belts with shotgun bullets. Four-leaf clovers throughout design.
Birthday: Alf has no idea
Likes: All things dairy, marbles, curling up in the corner of the sofa, sitting in high places, cats, and going on business trips with Master
Dislikes: Dislikes literacy practice, math, and breakable objects
Skills: Shooting, flamethrower maintenance

In-game profile

Maid No. 49 of MISS, as she introduced herself; a clueless yet determined girl.

Despite being surprisingly reliable in the heat of battle, she is unfortunately blessed with zero common sense, the inability to read the room, and terrible housekeeping skills. You'd do well to keep her out of the kitchen.

What Alf calls you as Trust rises

Alf's MasterFierce Yet KindAbsolutely Favourite

Intel

Cats: Is friends with many cats.
Further Information: I: Often learns new words in books, and rushes to force them into conversation.
Further Information: II: Masters practical skills with impressive speed. Whether it's from an innate talent, or the mere fact she fails repeatedly yet stubbornly until she learns, isn't quite clear.

Alf's shotgun-to-flamethrower kit in action, captured from the Dichotomy beta.

Skills

Levelling all 5 of Alf's skills to Lv. 10 each, and unlocking every node, costs 221,810 Ounce plus Hero's Instinct, Hero's Insight, Hero's Challenge, Hero's Legacy, Everburning Chain Sword and Twin Argent Strands. Alf's Identity is Hero, which is what puts the Hero line on this list rather than another Identity's.

Basic Attack

Novice Shotgun

Press the Basic Attack button to perform a combo of up to 3 hits, dealing Ignis DMG. The 3rd hit consumes 1 Reserve Ammo. If no Reserve Ammo is available, the 3rd hit's shot is replaced with a forward charge, dealing Ignis DMG and granting 3 Reserve Ammo.

Charged Attack

Hold the Basic Attack button, consuming all Reserve Ammo to step onto the enemy and leap into the air, firing bullets that deal Ignis DMG. Each Reserve Ammo consumed increases bullets' DMG by 40%. If no Reserve Ammo is available, the shots are replaced with a forward charge, dealing Ignis DMG and granting 3 Reserve Ammo.

Pursuit Attack

After Dodging or during a Dash, press the Basic Attack button to unleash a Pursuit Attack, dealing Ignis DMG.

A powerful technique, whether used in the trenches or just your own living room.

How to play Alf

An Ignis poise breaker who chains shotgun attacks for Reserve Ammo and personal Stun Buildup. The Ultimate's flamethrower wall builds a large amount of stun and refills her ammo, so a second shotgun sequence follows immediately.

Difficulty: lowField time: rotationalResource loop: Reserve Ammo

1
Run the Basic Attack combo
The 3rd hit spends Reserve Ammo, or charges forward to restock when the reserve is empty
2
Mix in Zeroth Shell and the Charged Attack
Varying the shotgun attacks is what stacks her Stun Buildup Bonus
3
Tap Dodge or Parry straight after a shotgun attack
The Passive turns it into a follow-up shot, so defending does not cost you offence
4
Press Ultimate for the flamethrower wall
Large stun contribution and 6 Reserve Ammo back at once
5
Run a second shotgun sequence, then swap to your carry
The target should be at or near stunned, ready for an Execution

Best Implements for Alf

Implement stats are fixed rather than rolled, so a set is a decision you make once. The short answer is Elitism. See the equipment guide for how the four slots and the Epiphany fit together.

Elitism

Best

4 pieces

DMG Bonus +8%

Increases the holder's DMG by 8%. When the character's DMG Bonus exceeds 30%, they also gain 1 stack of Lightning whenever they use a Skill, increasing their Stun Buildup Bonus by 12.5% for 14s. Stacks up to 2 times.

Why Alf: Her strengths list respectable damage for a poise breaker, and Elitism pays both jobs at once: the flat DMG Bonus feeds the damage, and once DMG Bonus clears 30% every Skill use adds Stun Buildup on top of the stun her shotgun chains already generate.

Age of TechnologyHead

Innovation-Led FutureNeck

Industry of GlorySecondary Weapon

Ultimate EfficiencyAccessory

Hey, Jack

Alternative

4 pieces

Stun Buildup Bonus +25%

Increases the holder's Stun Buildup Bonus by 25%. When the character's Stun Buildup Bonus exceeds 100%, landing a Basic Attack on an enemy or performing a Perfect Dodge grants 1 or 3 stacks of All In respectively. Each stack of All In increases their Charged DMG by 3% for 8s, stacking up to 3 times.

Why Alf: Reserve Ammo is banked by chaining shotgun attacks, so the Basic Attack trigger fires constantly and the flat Stun Buildup goes straight into her poise breaking.

The Blind ManHead

The WisherNeck

The Debt CollectorSecondary Weapon

The CheaterAccessory

Cogs of the City

Alternative

4 pieces

Break Exploit +60

Increases the holder's Break Exploit by 60. When the character's Break Exploit exceeds 200, they also gain 25% Stun Buildup Bonus for 14s whenever they perform a Charged Attack.

Why Alf: Break Exploit is the purest poise-breaking stat if you want her stunning faster rather than hitting harder.

Non-Dustproof Dust CapHead

Non-Absorbent TowelNeck

Non-Turnable WrenchSecondary Weapon

Non-Insulated Lunch BoxAccessory

Best Epiphany for Alf

One Epiphany per character, and the effect never changes: duplicates raise the substats and leave the effect text alone. The short answer is Farewell, Chivalrous Age. See the equipment guide for where the slot sits, or all 30 Epiphanies.

Farewell, Chivalrous Age

Best

Lv. 60

ATK % +24%

Increases the holder's Break Exploit by 100. Their Basic Attacks grant 1 stack of Chivalrous Dream on hit. At 5 stacks, this triggers Fearless Blade, increasing Stun Buildup Bonus by 50% for 8s. Dodging or Parrying attacks immediately grants 5 stacks of Chivalrous Dream.

Why Alf: 100 Break Exploit is the largest single grant of it, and Chivalrous Dream stacks on Basic Attack hits. Her shotgun chain reaches 5 stacks quickly, and the Ultimate refills Reserve Ammo for a second sequence inside the 8 second Fearless Blade window.

Villainous Crown

Alternative

Lv. 70

Break Exploit +130

Increases the holder's Stun Buildup Bonus by 25%. When their Stun Buildup Bonus exceeds 100%, each 1% over 100% grants 0.64% ATK, up to a maximum of 36%.

Why Alf: Converts Stun Buildup Bonus above 100% into 36% ATK, so the stun she is built for starts paying in damage. It needs the Bonus already stacked high, which is why it is the second pick rather than the first.

The Count of the Cavern

Alternative

Lv. 20

Break Exploit +100

Increases the holder's Break Exploit by 60. When their Break Exploit exceeds 180, each 1 point of Break Exploit over 180 grants 0.3% Stun Buildup Bonus, up to a maximum of 60%.

Why Alf: The Lv.20 entry point: 60 Break Exploit, then 0.3% Stun Buildup Bonus for every point past 180. It does the same job as Farewell, Chivalrous Age at a fraction of the account level.

Psyches

Maid No. 49

Alf gains 6 Reserve Ammo when she uses a Headbutt.

Boundless Curiosity

Increases Alf's Ultimate DMG by 20%.

Abandoned Cat Effect

Alf's melee, shotgun, and flamethrower attacks increase her ATK by 2% for 16s on hit, effects stacking separately for each attack type.

Blank Page

Upon using Tactical Assault, Alf's Stun Buildup Bonus is increased by 7% for 16s.

A Story Truly Yours

After Alf uses her Ultimate, she increases the Ignis DMG of all characters on the team by 15% for 40s.

Sacrificial Sincerity

Increases Alf's Final DMG by 10%.

Alf Trust and Gifts

The gifts Alf prefers, what each Trust level costs, and what it pays out.

Alf prefers Bunny Milk Sweets, Silverium Terrarium and Automaton Cat Doll.Each one is worth 100 Trust EXP, so 8 of them cover the 780 Trust EXP between Lv.1 and Lv.5. The Gift Shop charges a flat 10,000 Ounce per gift, which puts a maxed Trust level at 80,000 Ounce.

Preferred gifts

Bunny Milk Sweets

+100 Trust EXP

Its packaging features a big-eared bunny with an exaggerated grin. Tastes even sweeter than you'd expect.

One's delicious, but one is never enough. Irresistible to any child.

Silverium Terrarium

+100 Trust EXP

A small terrarium that houses Silverium beings. It's said one can even glimpse them fading into inactivity, returning to the Argent Strand.

These sold fast upon release, a desirable item for Silverium enthusiasts.

Automaton Cat Doll

+100 Trust EXP

An autonomous cat-shaped mechanical companion, that longs only to remain by its master's side.

It simulates a cat's comforting warmth and even emits soft mews, making it, for some cat lovers, more ideal than a living cat.

Team Synergies

Ignis poise breaker with a team Ignis damage Psyche

Strengths

Damage is respectable for a poise breaker, and she can be built with crit
Defensive inputs convert into extra shots rather than interrupting the sequence
The one Ignis unit that adds a team Ignis damage bonus from a Psyche

Weaknesses

Reserve Ammo regenerates slowly, so the combo has to restock through the 3rd hit charge
Contributes little outside the stun and the attribute bonus

Best partners

"Cinderella"

Ignis damage means the team's Ignis and crit buffs are not wasted on her, and one of her Psyches raises team Ignis damage further.

Red Rose

She can carry real crit gear, so the team-wide CRIT DMG buff is not spent on a unit that cannot use it.
